Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

The VLX 100 is not a standard door bent into a curve. It’s engineered from the start as an arched system. ViewLux fabricates each unit using CNC bending equipment that shapes the aluminum profile to your exact radius, so the arc is consistent from jamb to jamb and the door sits true in its frame. That’s the “structural precision” part, and it matters more than most people realize.

Architecturally, this door fits homes with Mediterranean, Spanish Revival, modern, and contemporary elevations. We see a lot of arched entries in Greenacres neighborhoods like Joggers Park and Nautica Isles, where homeowners want curb appeal that stands apart from the standard rectangular doors on the block. The VLX 100 gives you that without sacrificing strength.

Buyers choose this series for three reasons: the curve is fabricated rather than forced, the aluminum won’t rot or warp, and the thermal break keeps the frame from conducting heat into the house. Compare that to a wood arched door, which in our Greenacres climate will absorb moisture and move with every season. Aluminum stays dimensionally stable. That’s the difference between a door that looks great on install day and one that still looks great five years later.

The profile itself is substantial. Wall thickness runs 0.098 inches, and the frame width measures 2.56 inches, which gives the door real presence without feeling bulky. Every unit is custom fabricated to order, so there’s no “close enough” sizing. Your opening determines the door, not the other way around.

Technical Specifications

Here’s what the VLX 100 brings to the table, in plain terms:

• Frame wall thickness: 0.098 inches of extruded aluminum. That’s about 40% thicker than many entry-level aluminum door systems, which translates directly to fewer dents, less flex, and a tighter seal over time.
• Profile width: 2.56 inches. Wide enough to carry laminated impact glass without deflection, narrow enough to preserve sightlines.
• Maximum span: Custom fabricated to order. If your opening is unusually tall or wide, we’ll spec it and ViewLux will build it. No re-engineering a stock unit and hoping it works.
• Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, Laminated. Mix and match depending on privacy needs and code requirements.
• Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, Teak Wood. All finishes are factory-applied to resist the intense UV exposure we get in Greenacres.
• Performance: NFRC-rated thermal performance via thermal break. AAMA 2400/2410 installation compliance when installed by TruePane Windows & Doors. AAMA 812 low-expansion foam on all perimeter joints.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency
The VLX 100 uses a thermal break between the interior and exterior aluminum faces. That break interrupts the heat path that normally turns an aluminum frame into a radiator in a Greenacres summer. NFRC-rated performance means the numbers are real, not marketing. You’ll feel the difference at the door threshold, especially on west-facing entries that get hammered by afternoon sun.

Acoustic Performance
A solid arched door with the right glass package cuts outdoor noise noticeably. For homes near Lake Worth Road or facing busier collector streets, laminated glass adds a real sound-control layer. The tight-fitting frame also reduces the small air gaps that leak noise around the door perimeter.

Airtightness & Weather Seal
Every VLX 100 we install in Greenacres gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant on all perimeter joints. That’s a specific standard, not a generic caulk job. The foam expands to fill voids, stops air infiltration, and prevents the micro-gaps that cause drafts and humidity intrusion. When you’re running AC nine months of the year, those gaps matter.

Waterproofing
Greenacres gets roughly 60 inches of rain annually, and a lot of it arrives sideways during summer afternoon storms. The VLX 100 is built for that reality. The sill design and perimeter sealing system work together to shed water away from the threshold. Our installation process includes a water test to confirm the seal before we call the job done.

Wind Resistance
Living in Palm Beach County means wind-load requirements are not optional. The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for our local climate, and the laminated impact glass option satisfies the demands of the Florida Building Code in high-wind zones. If you want a door that doesn’t need shutters, laminated is the answer.

Security & Hardware
An arched door with a flimsy lock is a decoration. The VLX 100 carries multi-point locking capability, and the 0.098-inch aluminum wall resists prying far better than a thin-skinned steel door. Paired with laminated glass, you get a door that’s genuinely difficult to force. That’s real security for Greenacres homeowners.

Color & Glass Options

The VLX 100 comes in six factory finishes, each with its own design role. Premium Black works beautifully on modern farmhouse and contemporary elevations, and it’s one of our most-requested finishes in Greenacres. Pure White brightens entryways and pairs well with coastal or Mediterranean stucco. Anodized Silver has an industrial, architectural feel that suits mid-century designs. Bronze reads traditional and grounded, ideal for Spanish-tile roofs. Champagne lands between silver and bronze with a warmer cast. Teak Wood gives you the look of a rich wood door without the maintenance a real wood arched door demands in our humidity.

Glass selection depends on where the door sits and what it needs to do. Clear glass maximizes light into the entry. Frosted and Obscure glass provide privacy while still passing daylight, useful if your front door faces a walkway or neighbor’s window. Low-E glass cuts heat and UV transmission, protecting interior finishes from fading. Tempered glass adds break resistance. Laminated glass is the impact-rated option for wind protection and security. We help you sort through these choices in Greenacres based on the door’s orientation and your code requirements.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Greenacres

Here’s the uncomfortable truth about arched doors: the installation matters as much as the fabrication. A precision CNC-bent door installed out of square will bind, leak, and void the manufacturer warranty. That’s why TruePane Windows & Doors treats every VLX 100 install as a structural project, not a door swap.

Our process starts with a pre-install site inspection. We measure the rough opening in multiple places along the arc, check the jamb condition, and verify the floor is level, or note exactly how far off it is. In Greenacres, older homes often have settled slabs, and a door install that ignores that reality fails. We don’t ignore it.

Then we set the frame level, plumb, and square. On an arched door, that’s more demanding than a rectangle. A fraction of an inch of rack translates to a bind at the apex of the arc. We use laser levels and check the frame in six positions before anchoring. Every perimeter joint gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant, which expands to fill irregular gaps in the rough opening and creates a continuous air and moisture barrier.

The installation follows AAMA 2400/2410 standards, which govern the proper installation of windows and doors in exterior walls. That covers anchoring, flashing, integration with the weather-resistant barrier, and perimeter sealing. After the door is hung and hardware is set, we run a water test on the threshold and lower frame to confirm waterproofing under simulated rain. We do a final interior and exterior walkthrough, and we remove all debris.

Greenacres presents specific challenges: high humidity means we check for existing moisture damage in the rough opening before the new door goes in. Afternoon thunderstorm patterns mean we seal properly the first time, because a leak around a brand-new door is a warranty issue and a reputation issue. And Palm Beach County’s wind-load requirements mean the anchoring schedule actually matters. Our crew has installed arched doors across Greenacres, from the communities along 10th Avenue North to the newer developments near Greenacres Park, and we know what these openings look like.
