ProVia ecoLite slider replacement uses ProVia's value line: a white vinyl horizontal slider, made to order for the opening, with Low-E glass and between-the-glass grilles as the options, and nothing else to drive the price up. It fits basements, ramblers and rentals that want a ProVia-built window in white. JMB Builders measures, orders through ABC Supply and installs across the Twin Cities metro. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.

  • Priced per window, ecoLite slider included
  • White vinyl only, made to order
  • Low-E glass; grilles between the glass optional

ecoLite is ProVia's entry line: the windows are white vinyl, made in the United States, built to order for each opening, and short on options. That is the point. A basement, a rambler's row of sliders or a rental does not need woodgrain laminates or painted exteriors. It needs a slider that fits, locks, seals and comes from a maker who builds it to the measurement.

The ecoLite slider is a horizontal slider in white, with Low-E glass as the option to take and grilles between the glass if the house has them elsewhere. The sashes lift out for cleaning and a half screen covers the moving one. Like the rest of ProVia's windows it is made to order, as a replacement frame for a sound existing frame or with a fin for an open wall, so a basement opening in block and a kitchen opening in a wood frame are both ordered to size.

We measure each opening, check egress where a basement room is a bedroom, order through ABC Supply, our supplier, and install. We are the installer. If you want color, a woodgrain interior or triple-pane, ProVia's Endure slider is the step up, and options such as MI and Silver Line sliders can sit on the same quote.

Three photos and a sentence is enough: a reply within one business day, or ask for a free in-home estimate. Or text the photos to 763-250-3621.

Photos (optional)

Up to 3: one wide shot of the area, one close-up of the opening or trim, one of anything you're unsure about.

How do you want your quote?

Free, no obligation. Every quote is written and itemized, so you can compare it line by line.

What you supply

  • A photo of each slider from inside and one of the outside wall
  • Which sash should slide, and grilles between the glass or none
  • Whether any basement room with a slider is a bedroom
  • Paint color for new stops or casing: Painting is quoted as a separate line — or leave it primed and caulked and paint it yourself.

What JMB supplies

  • In-person measure of every opening and an egress check in any bedroom
  • The ProVia ecoLite slider, ordered through ABC Supply to your sizes with Low-E glass
  • A line-item quote by opening, with the Endure slider beside it if you want to compare
  • Removal of the old slider and haul-away
  • Replacement-frame install with sealant, or fin install with sill pan and flashing tape
  • Low-expansion foam, backer rod and sealant inside and out
  • Interior stops or casing and exterior capping or trim
  • Rollers, lock and screen checked, and photos in your job folder

How it is priced: per window

Quoted in writing from your photos, with a reply within one business day. What moves the number:

  • Slider size and how many are on the order
  • Replacement frame vs. fin install
  • Grilles between the glass
  • Basement openings in block that need a new buck or sill
  • Rot or a bowed sill under the old slider
  • Interior stops only vs. new casing
  • Egress enlargement if a basement bedroom opening is too small

Label each photo by room. If the basement is finished, send one of the inside trim so we can match the stops.

How long it takes

Lead time depends on the order and is written on the quote. ecoLite sliders install at several per day once they arrive.

Situations and options

All the basement sliders in ecoLite

Every below-grade slider in white ecoLite with Low-E glass on one order. A finished basement gets new stops to match its trim; an unfinished one gets a simple white casing.

ecoLite sliders on a rental

The whole unit's sliders made to order in white, so odd sizes fit without filler strips. One line on the capital budget, one color, one order.

ecoLite downstairs, Endure upstairs

Value sliders where nobody looks closely and Endure double-hungs or sliders with better finishes on the main floor. Both are ProVia white and go on one order.

ProVia ecoLite Slider Replacement: questions, answered

What is the ProVia ecoLite slider?

It is the horizontal slider in ProVia's value line: white vinyl, made to order for the opening, with Low-E glass and between-the-glass grilles as the options. The sashes lift out and a half screen covers the moving one. It is ProVia's plainest window.

Does the ecoLite slider come in colors?

No. ecoLite is white inside and out. For a colored exterior or a woodgrain interior, ProVia's Endure slider is the line to order, and we can price the two side by side.

Is a made-to-order slider worth it for a basement?

Basement openings are rarely a stock size, especially in block. A stock slider needs filler and shims; a made-to-order ecoLite is built to the measured opening and goes in clean. The price difference is usually small on a slider.

Can an ecoLite slider meet egress in a basement bedroom?

Only if the opening is big enough, since a slider opens about half its width. We measure and compare it with the egress size the code sets for a sleeping room before the order. If it falls short, the opening is enlarged or a casement is used in that room.

Is ecoLite good enough for a Minnesota basement?

With Low-E glass, yes. A below-grade slider is sheltered from wind, and the frame and glass of a well-set ecoLite are a long way ahead of the steel or aluminum sliders that came with most Twin Cities basements.

Where do you get ProVia ecoLite sliders?

We order them through ABC Supply, our supplier, to the sizes from our measure, and our crew installs them. ProVia sells through distributors, not home centers. If you already ordered ecoLite windows, we install those labor only.
