Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

Some doors simply fill a hole in the wall. The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door defines the wall itself.

ViewLux designed this series around the reality that arched openings demand more than bent metal. The CNC-bent aluminum frame maintains uniform wall thickness through the curve, eliminating the weak points and visual inconsistencies that plague lesser arched systems. At 0.098″ wall thickness and 2.56″ profile width, the extrusion carries enough mass to feel substantial without overwhelming the glass. The result is a door that reads as elegant from the street and engineered up close.

In Boynton Beach, we install the VLX 100 on homes where the entryway is the architectural focal point. Think barrel-tile roofs, stucco elevations, and custom ironwork that all converge at the front door. The arched top softens the vertical lines of tall ceilings and draws the eye upward, which matters in neighborhoods like Tropic Isle and Boynton Beach’s waterfront communities where curb appeal directly affects property value. Buyers choose this series when they want a custom fabrication without the custom price volatility, and when they need a door that performs in South Florida’s salt air, humidity, and UV exposure.

The aluminum construction resists corrosion that destroys steel frames within seasons here. The thermal break separates interior and exterior surfaces so the frame doesn’t sweat or transfer heat. And because every unit is fabricated to order, the maximum span adjusts to your opening rather than forcing your opening to accommodate a stock size.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency

The thermal break interrupts conductive heat transfer through the aluminum frame, keeping conditioned air inside where it belongs. NFRC-rated energy performance means verified numbers, not marketing claims. In Boynton Beach, where summer cooling loads run high, this translates to lower utility bills and reduced strain on your HVAC system.

Acoustic Performance

Multi-chamber frame construction and precision gasketing dampen exterior noise before it crosses your threshold. Traffic on Ocean Boulevard, lawn equipment, and coastal winds all lose intensity through the assembly. Pair with laminated glass for additional sound control in high-activity areas.

Airtightness & Weather Seal

Compression seals and engineered tolerances maintain positive closure against the frame. The system is tested for air infiltration resistance, which matters when pollen season hits Palm Beach County or when Saharan dust clouds drift across Boynton Beach. Less air leakage means cleaner indoor air and more predictable temperatures.

Waterproofing

AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant fills perimeter joints with a flexible, long-lasting barrier that moves with the structure. Combined with sloped sills and integrated drainage channels, the assembly sheds water rather than collecting it. This is critical in Boynton Beach’s driving rain events and hurricane-season deluges.

Wind Resistance

The frame geometry and anchoring system are wind-load rated for local climate requirements, including the pressure cycling that accompanies tropical systems. Impact-resistant laminated glass adds a secondary defense against wind-borne debris without sacrificing the aesthetic of the arched opening.

Security & Hardware

Multi-point locking hardware engages the frame at several locations, distributing forced-entry attempts across the structure rather than concentrating stress at a single latch. The 0.098″ wall thickness provides inherent resistance to flexing or prying. Tempered and laminated glass options add breakage resistance without compromising visibility.

Color & Glass Options

Premium Black reads modern and deliberate against light stucco or stone. We see it on contemporary builds in Boynton Beach’s newer communities where contrast is the design language.

Pure White suits coastal traditional homes, reflecting heat and maintaining brightness on elevations that take full sun. It pairs naturally with Bahama shutters and light trim palettes common in the area.

Anodized Silver carries an industrial honesty that works on mid-century influenced renovations. The anodized finish is integral to the aluminum, so it won’t chip or peel like paint.

Bronze warms the entry without going dark, bridging Mediterranean and transitional architectures. It ages gracefully in salt air.

Champagne offers subtle metallic warmth for homeowners who want distinction without drama. It catches late afternoon light beautifully on west-facing entries.

Teak Wood finish delivers the warmth of timber with aluminum’s durability, ideal for homes where natural materials dominate the exterior palette.

Glass selection shapes privacy and performance. Clear maximizes light and views. Frosted and Obscure provide privacy for entries facing streets or neighboring properties. Low-E coating reflects infrared heat, critical for west and south-facing doors in Boynton Beach. Tempered glass adds safety through fracture pattern. Laminated glass combines impact resistance with sound dampening and UV filtration.

Installation by Sightline Windows & Doors Boynton Beach in Boynton Beach

We install every VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door to preserve the warranty that ViewLux provides. Improper installation voids that coverage, and we’ve seen too many homeowners learn this after the fact. Our process eliminates that risk.

Pre-install inspection starts with precise field measurements of your arched opening. Arches aren’t forgiving. A quarter-inch error at the spring line compounds at the apex. We verify rough opening dimensions, check for plumb of the jambs, and identify any structural modifications needed before fabrication begins.

Setting the frame demands level, plumb, and square in all three planes simultaneously. The arched top complicates this, requiring temporary bracing and sequential shimming that accounts for the load path through the curve. We anchor through the frame into structural substrate per AAMA 2400/2410 installation standards, never through the thermal break where conductivity and structural compromise overlap.

Perimeter sealing follows AAMA 812 protocol with low-expansion foam sealant that fills gaps without distorting the frame. In Boynton Beach’s climate, sealant selection matters. Standard products degrade in UV and salt air. We specify materials rated for marine exposure and thermal cycling.

Final water testing verifies that every joint, weep, and seal performs before we consider the job complete. We clean the site, protect the finish, and walk you through operation and maintenance. Our installations carry workmanship warranty coverage because we trust our methods.

Boynton Beach’s building environment presents specific considerations. The salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on unprotected metals. Our aluminum specification and finish quality resist this. Seasonal humidity swings test sealant adhesion, which is why we follow manufacturer cure-time requirements even when schedules press. And wind-load requirements in Palm Beach County demand anchoring patterns we never shortcut.

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 unit is CNC-bent and fabricated to your specific opening dimensions. Arched custom work requires additional tooling setup compared to standard rectangular doors. Call (561) 421-3844 to check current production schedules and reserve your slot.

Does the VLX 100 qualify for energy tax credits?

The NFRC-rated thermal performance and Low-E glass options may contribute to whole-home energy efficiency improvements that qualify for federal or state incentives, though eligibility depends on your total project scope and current tax year regulations. We provide product performance documentation your tax professional can use. Call (561) 421-3844 to discuss which configurations optimize efficiency ratings for your situation.

What warranty comes with the Arched / Custom Door?

ViewLux provides manufacturer warranty coverage on the frame and finish, contingent on professional installation per their standards. Sightline Windows & Doors Boynton Beach adds workmanship warranty on our installation labor. Full terms vary by component and are provided in writing with your quote. Call (561) 421-3844 for current warranty documentation.

Can I customize the size?

Yes, every VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door is fabricated to order with custom span and height dimensions. The maximum span adjusts to your structural opening rather than forcing you into stock sizes. We field-measure, draft approval drawings, and fabricate to those confirmed dimensions. Call (561) 421-3844 to schedule measurement for your specific opening.

How do I maintain aluminum frames in Boynton Beach’s climate?

Rinse frames quarterly with fresh water to remove salt accumulation, wash annually with mild soap and soft cloth, and inspect weatherstripping twice yearly for compression set or damage. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that degrade finishes. The anodized and premium painted finishes we specify are formulated for marine exposure and require minimal intervention beyond basic cleaning. Call (561) 421-3844 if you notice finish degradation or seal concerns.
