Re: Provia Endure vs Okna (400/600) Long Island, NY
Ask them the same question you are asking yourself. Why you promoting Pro-Via on the others and Okna on the bay? I stick to the brand I sell and don’t mix the products . All the questions that come to mind you should ask them and they should be able to answer them in a way you are comfortable with a...

Re: Okna vs Wincore vs Provia for small rental
The 600 for sure. The capping really depends on the house . It can look odd on older homes when everything else is wood on the exterior.
