Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

The VLX 100 exists because standard rectangular doors fail the moment a homeowner wants an arch. Most door manufacturers won’t touch curved openings. ViewLux built this series around a CNC-bending process that forms the aluminum frame to your exact radius, not to a preset template. The result is an arched entryway with consistent sightlines, clean miter joints, and a profile that reads as deliberate rather than adapted.

Architecturally, this door fits three scenarios we encounter regularly in West Palm Beach. First, historic homes where the original arched opening is still intact and the homeowner refuses to square it off. Second, modern builds where the arch is a deliberate design motif, often matched with radius windows or a barrel-vaulted entry. Third, remodels where the homeowner wants to introduce a curved element as the focal point of the elevation. In each case, the VLX 100 holds its shape because the aluminum is bent at the factory, not flexed into place on site.

Why aluminum over wood or steel? Coastal air in West Palm Beach is brutal on wood doors. Humidity cycles cause warping, paint peels within three years, and termites are a constant pressure. Steel rusts unless it’s meticulously maintained. Aluminum with a quality finish shrugs off salt air, holds dimension, and requires almost nothing from the homeowner. The wall thickness on this series is 0.098 inches, which is substantial enough to resist racking without making the door feel industrial. Profile width is 2.56 inches, giving the frame enough visual mass to anchor an entryway.

When we install a VLX 100 in West Palm Beach, we’re typically working with a homeowner who has already been told “no” by at least one other contractor. Custom arched doors are not a sideline product. They require a manufacturer willing to fabricate to order and an installer who understands that a curved frame still has to be set perfectly level, plumb, and square.

Technical Specifications

• Wall thickness: 0.098 inches of extruded aluminum, designed to resist flex and racking over decades of daily use.
• Profile width: 2.56-inch frame face, giving the door architectural presence without overwhelming the glass area.
• Maximum span: Custom fabricated to order. No off-the-shelf radius limits. We measure your actual opening and the door is bent to match it exactly.
• Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, and Laminated. Laminated meets impact-resistant requirements for West Palm Beach wind-load codes.
• Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, and Teak Wood. All six finishes are factory-applied to withstand South Florida UV exposure.
• Performance standards: NFRC-rated thermal break, AAMA 2400/2410 installation compliance, AAMA 812 perimeter sealant standard.

Every VLX 100 we order for West Palm Beach homes is fabricated after we take field measurements. Nothing ships until the opening has been measured twice and the radius template has been verified.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency - The VLX 100 uses thermal break technology, which separates the interior and exterior aluminum faces with a non-conductive barrier. That prevents the frame from transferring heat into your air-conditioned entryway. In West Palm Beach, where AC runs eight to ten months a year, this matters more than most homeowners realize. The door is NFRC-rated for energy performance.

Acoustic Performance - Arched entry doors sit on the front elevation, which means they face street noise wherever you live. The VLX 100’s sealed glazing and positive compression gaskets cut down on traffic and pedestrian sounds. If you’re on Flagler Drive or near Dixie Highway, ask us about the laminated glass option for meaningful sound reduction on top of the impact rating.

Airtightness & Weather Seal - Every perimeter joint receives AAMA 812 compliant low-expansion foam sealant during installation. This standard exists because gaps around door frames are the primary source of air infiltration, and in coastal climates, air leakage carries moisture. The door compresses against full-perimeter weatherstripping, and the threshold interfaces with the sill to stop drafts.

Waterproofing - A door that leaks in West Palm Beach fails fast. The VLX 100 is installed with a continuous sill pan, sealant-backed flanges, and drainage directed away from the rough opening. Glass is seated with gaskets that prevent mist and condensation between panes. We pressure-test the perimeter after installation on every arched door we set.

Wind Resistance - Custom arched doors face the same wind-load requirements as any other opening in West Palm Beach. With laminated impact glass, the VLX 100 meets the structural requirements for openings that don’t rely on shutters. For non-impact configurations, wind-load ratings are calculated per opening dimensions and confirmed before fabrication begins.

Security & Hardware - The arched form doesn’t mean compromised locking. The VLX 100 accepts a multipoint locking system with a full-height latch track. The 0.098-inch wall profile provides solid screw purchase for hinge and hardware plates, and the aluminum frame won’t split or pull like wood under forced-entry stress.

Color & Glass Options

Finish choice changes how the arch reads from the street. Premium Black gives the curve a sharp, gallery-like outline and dominates on modern and contemporary elevations. Pure White softens the arch and blends with trim on Key West and coastal cottage styles. Anodized Silver is the raw-aluminum look, popular on mid-century homes in Southland Park. Bronze matches oil-rubbed hardware and reads classic on Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial facades. Champagne is warmer than anodized and works well with homes that have cream or beige stucco. Teak Wood is a textured wood-grain finish that gives the aluminum the warmth of timber from ten feet away.

Glass selection depends on what the door faces. A front entry in full afternoon sun benefits from Low-E to cut solar gain. Frosted or Obscure glass is what we recommend when there’s no covered porch and you want light without neighbors seeing straight in. Tempered is the safety standard. Laminated is the impact-rated option for wind-borne debris protection in West Palm Beach. Clear maximizes visible light and views.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in West Palm Beach

We install every VLX 100 door we sell. We don’t drop-ship a door to your contractor and hope for the best. Our team handles the full process: field measurement, radius template verification, opening inspection, installation, and final water testing.

The process starts with a pre-install inspection. We check the rough opening for squareness, verify the substrate is sound, and measure the radius at three points across the arch to catch any inconsistency before the door is fabricated. Subtle deviations in an arched opening will show up as uneven reveal lines after installation, so we correct them before the door arrives.

During installation, we set the frame level, plumb, and square. On a rectangular door, small errors are forgiving. On an arched door, any deviation throws the sweep of the curve off its intended geometry. We shim at exact intervals, secure the frame through its engineered fastening points, and check the reveal line with a radius template one more time.

Perimeter sealing follows AAMA 2400/2410 installation standards, including AAMA 812 certified low-expansion foam on all joints. The sill receives a waterproof pan system that drains to the exterior. Once the door is hung and the hardware is set, we perform a water test on the full perimeter and adjust compression until the door seals every weather condition a West Palm Beach summer can throw at it.

One point we make to every homeowner: installing a custom arched door outside the manufacturer’s installation standards voids the warranty. A beautiful door installed badly is just an expensive problem. Our work is warranty-safe, and we handle any installation-related claims directly rather than pointing you back to a manufacturer.
