Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

Arched doors are the architectural feature buyers notice first. Whether you’re building a Mediterranean-inspired home in Harbour Isle, updating a mid-century ranch in Golfview Harbour, or restoring a 1920s bungalow in the Heart of Boynton Beach, a curved entryway changes how the whole elevation reads. It softens a flat facade and adds a sense of arrival you don’t get from a standard square opening.

The VLX 100 earns its place in this category because of how it’s made. The frame is bent on CNC equipment, not rolled by hand on a shop floor, so the radius is consistent and repeatable. Tolerances are tight. What arrives in Boynton Beach is a completed assembly ready to set into a properly prepared rough opening, not a pile of parts requiring field modification. That matters when you’re installing into stucco, block, or wood frame construction, all of which we see across Boynton Beach and Delray Beach depending on the home’s era.

Why do buyers choose this series over a composite or wood arched door? Three reasons. Aluminum doesn’t warp in South Florida humidity. It doesn’t swell, bind, or rust the way steel can near salt air. And it accepts factory finishes that hold up under intense UV exposure without fading or chalking the way painted wood eventually does. If you want an arched entry that looks the same in year ten as it did on install day, aluminum is the right substrate. The VLX 100 is built for exactly that long game.

We regularly install this door in coastal Boynton Beach neighborhoods where salt spray and morning condensation are daily realities. The 0.098″ wall thickness on the frame extrusion gives it more dent resistance than thinner entry-level aluminum systems. It feels solid when it closes, and that tactile quality is something our clients notice immediately. A door should close with authority. This one does.

Technical Specifications

• Installation standard: AAMA 2400/2410 compliant installation with AAMA 812-rated low-expansion foam at all perimeter joints

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency - The VLX 100 uses a true thermal break between the interior and exterior aluminum surfaces. In Boynton Beach’s climate, that means the inside face of the frame doesn’t heat up like a skillet in August. We order NFRC-rated glass packages, including Low-E coatings that cut solar heat gain while keeping the daylight. Your air conditioning bill notices the difference.

Acoustic Performance - Arched doors near Federal Highway or I-95 deal with constant traffic noise. Laminated glass absorbs sound energy that float glass just passes through. If your home sits on a busier Boynton Beach corridor, we recommend laminated insulated units. The difference in perceived noise is dramatic on the first day.

Airtightness & Weather Seal - Perimeter joints get AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant, not a generic caulk bead. The foam expands into voids, fills irregular gaps in block or wood frame construction, and stays flexible as the rough opening moves through seasonal temperature swings. No drafts at the base corners where arched installations often fail.

Waterproofing - This is the #1 cause of premature door failure in South Florida. We install the VLX 100 with a full sill pan assembly and continuous backer rod and sealant at all thresholds. Water that gets past the exterior seal is directed back out, never into your subfloor or the interior wall cavity. Our final step is a hose test across the head, side jambs, and threshold.

Wind Resistance - Boynton Beach sits squarely in FBC wind-borne debris territory. Laminated impact glass is available on every VLX 100, and the frame itself is engineered to carry wind loads well beyond mandatory minimums. During storm season, this door is your envelope’s first line of defense. We install it as a structural component, not a finish item.

Security & Hardware - The multi-point shoot-bolt hardware on the VLX 100 engages at the top, bottom, and center of the active leaf. Forced entry resistance starts with deep hinge screws into the framing, then relies on the hardware alignment we set at install. A lever handle with a deadbolt is standard, but we can specify custom hardware packages for arched configurations where clearances are tighter.

Color & Glass Options

The VLX 100 arrives in six finish options, and each one reads differently depending on your home’s style. Anodized Silver carries a raw, metallic look that suits modern concrete-block construction in Boynton Beach’s newer communities. Premium Black is the default choice for contemporary homes and pairs exceptionally well with white stucco. Pure White disappears into monochromatic facades, letting the arch shape itself carry the design. Bronze and Champagne bring warmth to Mediterranean and Tuscan-inspired homes we see throughout Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, and coastal Delray. Teak Wood-grain gives you the appearance of wood without the rot, warp, and termite issues that real wood doors inevitably face within a few seasons of South Florida humidity.

On the glass side, Clear keeps sightlines honest and direct. Frosted or Obscure delivers privacy for side-entry or front doors where you don’t want a view straight into the house. Low-E is the efficiency play. Tempered glass is standard for doors and meets safety glazing code anywhere your door sits within 24 inches of the floor. Laminated impact glass is the upgrade we recommend most strongly for any arched door in Boynton Beach - it’s the one that holds if a hurricane throws something at it.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Boynton Beach

We’ll be blunt: an arched door installed poorly is an expensive problem. The arch shape magnifies alignment errors. If the frame isn’t set perfectly level, plumb, and square - not “close enough,” but actually square across the diagonal - the active leaf binds, the sweep drags, and the hardware starts wearing unevenly within months. Worse, an improperly flashed installation will leak, and leaks in South Florida lead to rotted subsills, mold in the wall cavity, and a door that fails years before its warranty would have expired. The manufacturer warranty assumes professional installation per AAMA standards. It does not cover water intrusion that was preventable at the install stage.

Our process on a VLX 100 arched door in Boynton Beach starts with a pre-install site visit. We check the rough opening dimensions against the fabricated frame, measure the opening’s square and plumb, and inspect the subfloor for moisture before the old door even comes out. During installation, we set the frame with laser levels, anchor the jambs per FBC for concrete block or wood frame as required, and fill every perimeter joint with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam before top-sealing with a tooled sealant joint. We install a positive-slope sill pan with end dams regardless of whether the original opening had one. The final step is a water test: we hose the head, jambs, and threshold and confirm no intrusion. Only then is the door signed off and handed over - with the site cleaned and the old unit hauled away.

That’s the standard we apply to every install in Boynton Beach. It’s what “authorized installation partner” means when you buy through TruePane Windows & Doors instead of ordering the product from a drop-shipper and hoping the local handyman gets it right.

Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

What is the lead time for the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door?
Because each VLX 100 is custom-fabricated to your opening’s exact radius and dimensions, lead time typically runs 6 to 10 weeks from the date we confirm measurements and place the order with ViewLux. Finishes and glass packages can shift that window. Call (561) 708-6771 to get a firm delivery estimate for your specific configuration.

Does the VLX 100 qualify for energy tax credits?
It can. The VLX 100 with Low-E insulated glass and the integral thermal break may meet the current Energy Star criteria for exterior doors, depending on the glass package you choose and the size of the door. We can’t guarantee a credit until we see your exact specification. During your estimate, we’ll review your glass and finish selections and flag anything tax-credit eligible. Reach us at (561) 708-6771 for details.

What warranty comes with the Arched / Custom Door?
The VLX 100 carries ViewLux’s manufacturer warranty, which covers the frame and welded construction against factory defects. The glass unit carries a separate warranty per the glass package selected. The warranty assumes installation per AAMA 2400/2410 standards, which is exactly how TruePane Windows & Doors installs every unit in Boynton Beach. Improper installation by a third party can void that protection, which is a strong reason to let the authorized partner handle the job from measure to final seal.

Can I customize the size of my VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door?
Yes. That’s the entire point of the Custom designation. We measure your rough opening precisely, including the true radius of the existing arch, and the frame is CNC-bent to match. No shim stacks of questionable thickness, no scribe filler strips. Oversized arched openings - double doors, arched entrances with matching transoms, extra-tall glazing - are all possible because the profile is extruded to order. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll schedule a free on-site measurement in Boynton Beach.

How do I maintain aluminum frame finishes?
Clean the frames twice a year with mild dish soap and water, rinse well, and dry with a microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or power washers pointed at the seals - that’s the fastest way to cut a gasket and start a slow leak. Lubricate hinge pins and the shoot-bolt mechanism once a year with a dry PTFE spray. In coastal Boynton Beach, rinse salt film off the frame after big storm events. If you’re ever unsure, call (561) 708-6771 for service and we’ll send someone out.
