Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

The VLX 100 is built around a CNC-bent aluminum arched frame, a method that produces a curved architectural statement with structural precision. Instead of piecing an arch together from straight extrusions, ViewLux bends the profile on computer-controlled equipment so the radius is continuous. That’s the difference between an arch that looks hand-drawn and one that looks stamped out. Homeowners in Vero Beach choose this series when they want a real focal point at the entry, whether the house is a 1960s ranch being reimagined or a new coastal build going up in Grand Harbor or Riomar.

The frame carries a 0.098 inch wall thickness and a 2.56 inch profile width, which gives the door enough mass to hold laminated impact glass without looking bulky from the curb. Because every VLX 100 is custom fabricated to order, TruePane Windows & Doors can specify clear openings that match the existing rough opening or a designer’s drawing, not the other way around. That matters in Vero Beach’s older neighborhoods, where openings were rarely square and off-the-shelf arched doors almost never fit without ugly trim work. This series removes that fight. You define the arc; the CNC process matches it.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency
An arched door has more perimeter than a rectangle, which means more places for heat to sneak in. The VLX 100’s thermal break stops conductive transfer through the aluminum, and our NFRC-rated configurations let Vero Beach homeowners see real U-factor and SHGC numbers before they commit. In August, that’s the difference between an entry that radiates heat and one that holds the line.

Acoustic Performance
If you live near A1A, US-1, or the flight path into Vero Beach Regional Airport, you already know sound is a daily negotiation. The VLX 100’s rigid aluminum frame plus laminated glass option cuts down the midrange noise that standard single-pane doors let through. It’s not recording-studio silent, but it’s a measurable step down in noise transfer across the entry.

Airtightness & Weather Seal
Every perimeter joint on this door gets sealed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, which fills the irregular gaps an arched opening always has. That foam, combined with a tight-setting frame, reduces air infiltration the way the standard dictates it should be reduced. Less air movement means fewer drafts, less dust, and a more stable interior.

Waterproofing
In Vero Beach, water wins if you give it a path. The VLX 100 installation includes a full sill and perimeter waterproofing sequence per AAMA 2400/2410, and we run a water test on the finished install before we call the job done. The goal is a door that shrugs off a summer downpour without the homeowner ever wondering about the threshold.

Wind Resistance
Florida building codes don’t play games with wind loads, and neither does this door. The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for local climate requirements, and the laminated impact glass option turns a graceful arched entry into a code-compliant barrier. For Vero Beach homes inside the wind-borne debris region, that option can be the difference between a glass upgrade and a full opening retrofit.

Security & Hardware
The door’s structural spine isn’t just weather protection; it’s security. Multi-point locking hardware, set into a frame that’s level, plumb, and square, gives the door a mechanical lock-up that single-cylinder setups can’t match. The aluminum profile doesn’t flex the way vinyl does, so strike plates stay where we set them.

Color & Glass Options

The VLX 100 comes in six finishes, and the choice of finish changes the personality of the entry. Premium Black is the sharpest option against white or light stucco, which is everywhere in Vero Beach. Pure White blends into classic Florida homes without disappearing. Anodized Silver has a machined, modern quality that sits well next to stainless hardware. Bronze reads warmer and more traditional, a good match for barrel-tile roofs and Mediterranean facades. Champagne is the softest of the metallics, and it does especially well on mid-century homes in the beachside corridor. Teak Wood gives you the visual of wood grain without the rot, termite, and repaint cycle that a real timber door in Vero Beach eventually demands.

On glass, the right choice depends on what the entry faces. Arched doors often sit at the front of the house, where privacy and sun control fight each other. Clear maximizes light and sightlines from inside. Frosted and Obscure keep the light but drop the visibility, which a lot of Vero Beach owners want when the door faces the street. Low-E reduces heat gain through the glass, a real benefit on west-facing entries. Tempered adds safety breakage protection. Laminated is the impact-rated option that opens the door to wind-code compliance and better sound performance.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Vero Beach

The best arched door on the market is only as good as its install. Aluminum is unforgiving: if an arched frame is racked or forced into an opening that isn’t square, the glass cocks, the seals peel, and the hardware binds. TruePane Windows & Doors installs every VLX 100 the way the manufacturer requires, because a botched installation voids the warranty and turns a premium door into a service call.

Our process starts with a pre-install inspection and full measurements of the rough opening. Then we set the frame level, plumb, and square before a single fastener is driven. All perimeter joints are sealed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, which fills the irregular void around an arched frame better than fiberglass or caulk ever will. The install then follows AAMA 2400/2410, the industry standard for installation workmanship, and every job gets a final water test before we clean up and walk you through operation and care.

Vero Beach-specific conditions get handled up front: salt air near the barrier island breaks down hardware and sealants faster, so we spec materials that hold up to that environment, and hurricane-season wind loads drive the anchoring schedule. We don’t cut corners on a door that has to hold the line in a named storm. When the job is done, the arch is true, the door swings clean, and the warranty stays intact because the installation is up to standard.

Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

What is the lead time for the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door?
Lead time for a custom arched door runs about 6 to 10 weeks from final measurement approval, depending on finish and glass selection. Because every VLX 100 is fabricated to order, the clock starts once the arch radius and rough opening are confirmed. Call (772) 279-7983 and we’ll give you a current production estimate based on your configuration.

Does the VLX 100 qualify for energy tax credits?
It can. If the door is configured with Low-E or other qualifying glass, it may meet the federal energy tax credit requirements for exterior doors. The exact qualification depends on the U-factor and SHGC for your specific build, which we can pull from the NFRC rating. Most Vero Beach homeowners spec Low-E regardless, since the Florida sun does more work against an entry than a northern climate ever would.

What warranty comes with the Arched / Custom Door?
ViewLux provides a manufacturer warranty on the door and frame, and TruePane Windows & Doors backs the installation with our own workmanship warranty. The manufacturer warranty stays valid only when the door is installed to AAMA standards by an authorized partner, which is exactly why we install every VLX 100 ourselves instead of handing it to a subcontractor.

Can I customize the size?
Yes. The VLX 100 is custom fabricated to order, so the arch radius, opening width, and height are all built to your specification. There’s no catalog of fixed sizes to squeeze into. If you’re replacing an existing arched opening in Vero Beach, we measure the actual opening and the door is made to match it. If it’s a new build, you give us the drawings and the CNC process follows the radius.

How do I maintain aluminum frames?
Aluminum frames need very little care: wash the frame with mild soap and water a few times a year, keep the track and weep holes clear of sand and debris, and lubricate the hardware annually. In Vero Beach, salt spray warrants a rinse every month or two if you’re within a few blocks of the ocean. The finish is applied at the factory and doesn’t require repainting the way wood does.
