Product Overview - VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door

The VLX 100 is ViewLux’s answer to homeowners who want a door that reads as architecture, not just an opening. The frame profile measures 2.56 inches wide, which is narrow enough to preserve glass area but rigid enough to hold a 48-inch-wide slab without sagging. That’s the tradeoff most door buyers don’t think about until year three, when a cheaper vinyl door starts dragging on the threshold. Aluminum doesn’t do that.

The wall thickness runs 0.098 inches, heavier than most residential aluminum systems on the market. In practice, that means the door feels solid when it closes. No hollow rattle. The multi-point locking system engages at the top, middle, and bottom of the slab, which matters in Greenacres where front doors are the first line of defense against both weather and unwanted entry.

This is a single-entry swing door, not a slider or a French double. It suits ranch homes in Greenacres, townhouses, and contemporary builds where a wide single panel makes more sense than two narrow ones. The minimalist frame lets you maximize glass, which is why you’ll see this door spec’d on homes that want natural light without sacrificing security.

Our role as an authorized installation partner means we don’t just sell the door. We measure, order, install, and stand behind the finished opening. That’s the part that protects your investment.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency
Aluminum conducts heat, which is why the VLX 100 includes a thermal break in the frame. This physical barrier interrupts heat transfer, keeping your Greenacres entry cooler in August and reducing strain on your AC. The door carries NFRC-rated energy performance numbers you can compare against other products.

Acoustic Performance
The heavier 0.098-inch frame wall plus laminated glass options cut outdoor noise noticeably. If you live near the intersection of Lake Worth Road and Jog Road or anywhere with steady traffic, this is a door that quiets the front of the house. Laminated glass adds the most sound reduction.

Airtightness & Weather Seal
Every perimeter joint gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant during installation. That’s not a manufacturer spec, it’s how we install. The result is a door that doesn’t leak conditioned air around the frame, which is where most entry doors lose efficiency.

Waterproofing
South Florida rain hits sideways sometimes. The VLX 100 uses a sill design and weather-stripping system meant for that. Combined with our AAMA 2400/2410 installation process, water has no path into the rough opening. We also run a final water test after every install in Greenacres.

Wind Resistance
Greenacres sits in a High Velocity Hurricane Zone. This door is wind-load rated for local code requirements, and choosing laminated impact-rated glass gives you storm protection without an exterior shutter. It’s a door that meets Palm Beach County building standards, not a generic national product.

Security & Hardware
The multi-point lock is the headline. Three engagement points, not one deadbolt. The aluminum frame resists prying in a way wood and vinyl frames don’t. When you close this door behind you at night, you feel the difference.

Color & Glass Options

The VLX 100 comes in six finishes, and that range covers a lot of Greenacres architecture. Premium Black is the strongest seller for modern and contemporary homes. It creates crisp contrast against stucco and pairs well with black window frames if you’ve replaced windows already. Pure White suits traditional Florida ranches and keeps the entry feeling light and cool. Anodized Silver reads industrial and works beautifully on mid-century or minimalist designs.

Bronze and Champagne are darker metallics that hide fingerprints and work well with earth-tone exteriors. Teak Wood is a wood-grain finish that gives you the look of a wood door without the maintenance, and it’s a smart choice for homeowners who love the warmth of wood but don’t want to refinish it every two years in Greenacres humidity.

Glass selection depends on your priorities. Clear maximizes light and visibility. Frosted and Obscure give you light without passersby seeing in. Low-E cuts solar heat gain, which matters on west-facing Greenacres entries that take afternoon sun. Tempered is safety glass required for doors. Laminated is impact-rated, holds together when struck, and also lowers noise transfer. Many homeowners combine Low-E and Laminated for a door that handles heat, wind, and sound in one build.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Greenacres

A door is only as good as the opening it sits in. We install every VLX 100 to AAMA 2400/2410 standards, which is the benchmark the industry uses for window and door installation quality. The process starts with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. We check the subfloor, the header, the studs. If the opening is out of square, we fix it before the door goes in, because no amount of shimming fixes a bad rough opening permanently.

Next we set the door level, plumb, and square. That’s not a slogan, it’s a sequence. A door that’s off by 1/8 inch at the hinge side will bind or sag eventually. We fasten through the frame into the structure, then seal every perimeter joint with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam. This is the part that prevents air leaks, water intrusion, and the misting you sometimes see on glass doors during temperature swings. After the foam cures, we install trim, test the multipoint lock repeatedly, run a water test on the sill, and walk you through operation and maintenance.

In Greenacres, we deal with two things on nearly every install: moisture and code. The shallow water table and humid climate mean a poorly sealed frame will show problems within a season. And Palm Beach County requires wind-rated products and proper anchoring. We pull permits when required and make sure the installation passes inspection.

One more thing worth knowing: ViewLux warranty coverage depends on proper installation. If a door is installed incorrectly by a generalist crew, the manufacturer can deny a warranty claim. TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized partner, which means our installation is recognized by the manufacturer and your warranty stays intact.

Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door

What is the lead time for the VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door?
Most VLX 100 orders in Greenacres arrive in 3 to 5 weeks from the date we confirm your measurements and finish selections. Custom color or glass combinations can add a week or two. Call (754) 339-0784 after you’ve looked at the options and we’ll give you a firm delivery window before you commit.

Does the VLX 100 qualify for energy tax credits?
The VLX 100 can qualify for federal energy efficiency credits when ordered with Low-E glass that meets the required U-factor and SHGC ratings for the South Florida climate zone. Ask us to spec the glass package that hits the threshold for the current tax year. We’ll show you the NFRC numbers before you order.

What warranty comes with the Swing / Entry Door?
ViewLux provides a manufacturer warranty on the VLX 100 frame and components, with coverage terms that vary by finish and glass type. Because TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized installation partner, your installation workmanship is backed by us separately. We’ll walk you through both warranties at the quote appointment.

Can I customize the size of the VLX 100?
The VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door is built to order within its maximum span of 48 inches wide. Height, swing direction, threshold type, and handle set are all specified per project. If your Greenacres opening is larger than 48 inches, we’ll talk through options, which may include a different configuration. Call (754) 339-0784 to discuss your opening size.

How do I maintain aluminum frames?
Wash the frame and glass with mild soap and water twice a year, more often if you’re near an irrigation system that leaves mineral deposits. Avoid abrasive cleaners and power washing, which can damage the finish and weather seals. Check the sweep and weather stripping each spring. We include a maintenance rundown after every Greenacres install and we’re one call away if something doesn’t feel right.
