Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door starts with a single piece of aluminum that gets CNC-bent to your exact radius. There’s no welding seam at the crown, no visible joint where the curve begins. That continuous bend is what separates a true arched door from a flat door with a curved top tacked on.

Buyers in Lantana gravitate toward this series for three reasons. First, the profile reads as substantial without being bulky. At 2.56 inches wide and 0.098-inch wall thickness, the frame holds its shape through decades of hinge cycles and thermal expansion. Second, the custom fabrication means you’re not picking from three standard sizes and hoping one fits. Third, the aluminum construction resists the corrosion that ruins steel and the warping that plagues wood in South Florida humidity.

Architecturally, this door suits transitional homes, Mediterranean revivals, and contemporary builds that use a single dramatic gesture at the entry. We’ve installed VLX 100 systems in Lantana homes where the arched door echoes barrel-tile rooflines, and in modern homes where the curve softens an otherwise rectilinear facade. The structural precision isn’t marketing language. The CNC process holds tolerance to the millimeter, which matters when your jamb has to mate with custom stonework or stucco returns.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency
The VLX 100 uses a polyamide thermal break that separates interior and exterior aluminum surfaces. This barrier cuts conductive heat transfer, which is critical in Lantana where summer attic temperatures climb past 140 degrees and radiate through poorly specified doors. NFRC-rated performance means the numbers are third-party verified, not factory claims.

Acoustic Performance
The 0.098-inch wall thickness and dual-glaze capability create mass that dampens sound transmission. Homeowners near Lantana’s railroad corridor or along Ocean Avenue tell us the difference is noticeable. Laminated glass adds further damping through its interlayer.

Airtightness & Weather Seal
Compression seals at the strike jamb and sweep at the threshold meet AAMA 2400/2410 standards for air infiltration. In Lantana’s climate, airtightness isn’t about winter drafts. It’s about keeping conditioned air inside when your AC runs eight months a year, and keeping Saharan dust and pollen outside during spring dry spells.

Waterproofing
The sill profile includes a dam and weep system that sheds wind-driven rain. AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant fills the perimeter rough opening, creating a flexible gasket between frame and substrate that moves with seasonal expansion without cracking. We verify the seal with a calibrated water spray test after every installation.

Wind Resistance
The VLX 100 frame is wind-load rated for local requirements, including the hurricane-prone design pressures specified in Palm Beach County. The custom-fabricated header and jamb assembly distributes stress across the full arch rather than concentrating it at corner joints. Impact-resistant laminated glass is available for homes in HVHZ zones.

Security & Hardware
The 2.56-inch profile depth accepts multi-point locking hardware with deadbolts at multiple heights. Tempered and laminated glass options resist forced entry. We specify hardware finish to match your door color, and we adjust strike alignment so the lock engages cleanly without the rattling that signals premature wear.

Color & Glass Options

Premium Black reads as graphite in direct sun and pairs with modern Lantana homes that use black window frames for visual consistency. Pure White reflects heat and suits coastal cottages or Bahama-style architecture common near the Intracoastal. Anodized Silver is the raw aluminum look, industrial and honest, best where you want the door to disappear into glass. Bronze warms Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial entries without the maintenance of actual bronze. Champagne is a neutral that shifts with daylight, forgiving on homes with mixed metal finishes. Teak Wood gives you the grain pattern and warmth of timber with aluminum’s structural integrity.

Glass selection depends on privacy and solar control needs. Clear maximizes daylight and views. Frosted obscures silhouette while transmitting light, ideal for sidelights. Obscure provides full privacy for bathrooms or bedrooms opening to courtyards. Low-E coating reflects infrared heat, our standard recommendation for west-facing Lantana entries. Tempered meets safety code for doors and adjacent sidelights. Laminated adds impact resistance and acoustic damping, required in some Palm Beach County zones and recommended everywhere within five miles of the coast.

Installation by Sightline Windows & Doors Lantana in Lantana

We install every VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door to AAMA 2400/2410 standards because anything less voids the ViewLux manufacturer warranty. That matters. We’ve been called to Lantana homes where a handyman installation looked fine for six months, then the thermal break failed from frame flex, or water intrusion rotted the subfloor. The warranty denial letter cites improper installation, and the homeowner pays twice.

Our process starts with a pre-install inspection. We verify the rough opening dimensions, check for plumb of the jack studs, and identify any structural modifications needed for the arched header. The VLX 100 is custom fabricated, so there’s no “trim to fit.” The opening has to be right before the door arrives.

We set the frame level, plumb, and square using composite shims that won’t compress or rot. The CNC-bent arch must bear evenly across the header; any twist in the frame transfers to the hinge side and causes binding. We fasten through the jamb into structural framing, not just trim board, at intervals specified by ViewLux engineering.

Perimeter sealing gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant, not the cheap stuff that oozes and cures unevenly. The foam creates a thermal and air barrier that flexes with the frame. We cap it with backer rod and sealant at the exterior face for a clean, weathertight joint.

Final steps: hardware adjustment, multi-point lock synchronization, and a water spray test that simulates wind-driven rain. We clean the site and walk you through operation and maintenance. In Lantana, we also check that your installation meets any HOA architectural guidelines, particularly in gated communities with design review boards.

Improper installation voids manufacturer warranty. Professional installation protects your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

What is the lead time for the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door?
Lead time is typically 8 to 12 weeks from final measurement and deposit, because each door is CNC-bent to your specific radius and size. We coordinate fabrication scheduling with ViewLux and keep you updated. Call (561) 461-2062 to get your project in the queue.

Does the VLX 100 qualify for energy tax credits?
The Low-E glass and NFRC-rated thermal break may contribute to whole-home energy performance credits under current federal programs, but eligibility depends on your total project scope and tax situation. We provide NFRC certification paperwork for your accountant. Call (561) 461-2062 and we’ll explain what documentation we supply.

What warranty comes with the Arched / Custom Door?
ViewLux provides a limited lifetime warranty on the aluminum frame and finish, with glass covered under separate terms. The warranty remains valid only with authorized partner installation per AAMA standards, which is why Sightline Windows & Doors Lantana handles the full process. Call (561) 461-2062 for complete warranty details.

Can I customize the size?
Yes. The VLX 100 is custom fabricated to order with no fixed maximum span. We’ve installed single arched doors up to 48 inches wide and double arched entries exceeding 72 inches. Your opening dimensions drive the fabrication. Call (561) 461-2062 to schedule a free on-site measurement.

How do I maintain aluminum frames in Lantana’s climate?
Rinse frames quarterly with fresh water to remove salt accumulation, especially if you’re east of Federal Highway or on the water. Clean tracks and hardware annually with a silicone-based lubricant, never petroleum grease which attracts grit. Inspect weep holes for debris after storms. Call (561) 461-2062 if you notice finish chalking or sealant separation.
