Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

Arched doorways have defined grand entrances for centuries. The VLX 100 updates that tradition with CNC-bent aluminum framing that follows your exact radius, not a close-enough approximation. ViewLux engineers each unit from a 2.56-inch profile with 0.098-inch wall thickness, heavy enough to resist flexing across custom spans yet refined enough for residential scale.

Where does this door belong? We’ve installed VLX 100 units in West Park homes with barrel-tile roofs, stucco elevations, and modern flat-roof designs alike. The arched form softens rigid geometry. It draws the eye upward. It creates a sense of arrival that rectangular doors simply cannot replicate. Buyers choose this series when they’re done compromising, when the architect’s drawing demands a true radius, and when they need the material integrity of aluminum without the maintenance burden of wood.

The CNC bending process matters. Hand-formed arches vary. ViewLux’s computer-controlled fabrication holds tolerance across the entire span, so your door operates smoothly and seals properly for its lifetime. That precision is why Sightline Windows & Doors West Park partners with ViewLux exclusively for arched aluminum entries in the West Park market.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency

The VLX 100 incorporates thermal break technology that separates interior and exterior aluminum surfaces, reducing conductive heat transfer. NFRC-rated energy performance means your arched entry won’t become a thermal weak point. In West Park’s climate, that translates to less strain on your AC and more consistent interior temperatures.

Acoustic Performance

Multi-chamber framing and precision gasketing dampen exterior noise. Traffic on West Park’s busier corridors, lawn equipment, neighborhood activity, it all stays outside where it belongs. The laminated glass option adds mass for additional sound attenuation.

Airtightness & Weather Seal

Compression seals and engineered weatherstripping maintain positive closure against the frame. Airtightness ratings confirm minimal air infiltration, which protects your conditioned space and prevents drafts that make entries uncomfortable.

Waterproofing

Sill design and perimeter drainage channels direct water away from the interior. Combined with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant at all perimeter joints, the system blocks wind-driven rain common during South Florida storms.

Wind Resistance

Wind-load rated for local climate requirements, the VLX 100 structural calculations account for pressure differentials during severe weather. The 0.098-inch wall thickness and rigid 2.56-inch profile resist deformation under load.

Security & Hardware

Multi-point locking hardware engages at several locations along the frame. Tempered and laminated glass options resist forced entry and shattering. The aluminum construction itself provides inherent strength that hollow-core alternatives cannot match.

Color & Glass Options

Six finishes let the VLX 100 adapt to West Park’s architectural variety. Premium Black and Pure White suit modern and minimalist homes, clean and deliberate. Anodized Silver reads industrial-contemporary or pairs with metal roof accents. Bronze and Champagne warm up traditional stucco elevations, especially common in older West Park neighborhoods. Teak Wood finish gives you the grain aesthetic without the swelling, rotting, or refinishing that real teak demands in our humidity.

Glass selection depends on privacy, safety, and energy priorities. Clear glass maximizes light and views, ideal for transom-style arched units or entries with sidelights. Frosted and Obscure options diffuse light while blocking sightlines, perfect for bathrooms or bedrooms accessed through an arched passage. Low-E coating reflects infrared heat, a smart choice for west-facing doors in West Park’s afternoon sun. Tempered glass meets safety code for human impact zones. Laminated glass adds hurricane protection and sound control through its interlayer, the upgrade we recommend for most South Florida installations.

Installation by Sightline Windows & Doors West Park in West Park

A precision-manufactured door deserves precision installation. Sightline Windows & Doors West Park follows AAMA 2400/2410 standards on every VLX 100 we set in West Park, because improper installation voids the manufacturer warranty and compromises everything the engineering promises.

Our process starts with a pre-install inspection. We verify rough opening dimensions, check for plumb and square in the framing, and identify any structural issues before your custom unit arrives. Arched openings are unforgiving. A quarter-inch variance in radius or springline height can mean a door that binds, leaks, or gaps. We measure twice so fabrication is right the first time.

Setting the frame demands level, plumb, and square in all planes simultaneously. Shimming and fastening follow ViewLux’s specification for anchor type and spacing. We apply AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant at all perimeter joints, creating a continuous air and water barrier between frame and structure. Low-expansion formulation prevents bowing that can distort the arched head.

Final steps include operational testing, hardware adjustment, and a water spray test to verify seal integrity. We protect finishes during construction and leave the site clean. West Park’s building department may require permits for door replacement depending on scope; we pull those permits and schedule inspections when required, ensuring code compliance and warranty protection.

The humid, salt-air environment of West Park accelerates corrosion on poorly installed or inadequately sealed units. Our installation protocol accounts for this reality. We’ve replaced too many doors that failed prematurely because someone skipped the foam seal or used the wrong fasteners.

Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

What is the lead time for the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door?

Lead time typically runs 6 to 10 weeks from final measurement approval, since each arched unit is CNC-bent to your exact radius and fabricated to order. Complex custom spans or specialty glass may extend this slightly. Call (786) 685-4706 to discuss your project timeline and reserve production capacity.

Does the VLX 100 qualify for energy tax credits?

The NFRC-rated thermal performance and Low-E glass options may contribute to energy efficiency tax incentives depending on current federal and state program requirements. We provide product performance documentation your tax preparer needs, but we don’t guarantee eligibility as programs change. Ask us about qualifying glass packages during your free estimate.

What warranty comes with the Arched / Custom Door?

ViewLux backs the VLX 100 with a manufacturer’s warranty on materials and finish, and Sightline Windows & Doors West Park provides our own workmanship warranty on the installation. Full warranty terms depend on glass and finish selections; we review these in writing before you commit. Professional installation by an authorized partner like us is required for manufacturer coverage.

Can I customize the size?

Yes, the VLX 100 is custom fabricated to order with no standard maximum span limit. We measure your rough opening, confirm structural support at the springline, and engineer the radius to your architectural requirements. Every arched door we’ve installed in West Park has been uniquely dimensioned. Call (786) 685-4706 to start the measurement process.

How do I maintain aluminum frames?

Rinse frames quarterly with fresh water to remove salt and debris, wash annually with mild soap and a soft cloth, and lubricate hinges and locks yearly with a silicone-based product. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pressure washers that can damage finish. The powder coat and anodized finishes on the VLX 100 require minimal upkeep compared to wood, which is why West Park homeowners near the coast prefer aluminum for arched entries.
