If you’re planning a custom entryway in Royal Palm Beach, call (386) 251-6745 to talk through sizing, glass, and finish options.
Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
The VLX 100 series is ViewLux’s curved-fabrication platform. Instead of forcing a standard rectangular door into an arched opening, or framing an arch with stacked trim pieces, the VLX 100 frame is bent on a CNC machine so the aluminum follows the radius of the opening in one continuous profile. The result is a true arched entryway, not an approximation. That’s the difference a custom door makes on a stucco home in Royal Palm Beach, where arched entries are common and a poorly matched door reads as a renovation shortcut.
This door makes sense for homeowners replacing a dated arched front door, builders specifying a custom entry on a new Mediterranean or Spanish-style home, and architects who want a door that matches the curve on a barrel-vaulted porch or a rounded transom. It’s also the right call for anyone in Royal Palm Beach who has been told by another contractor that their arched opening “will have to be squared off,” which is usually code for “we don’t fabricate curves.”
The frame is extruded aluminum with a wall thickness of 0.098 inches and a profile width of 2.56 inches. Those numbers matter. The thicker wall gives the frame enough torsional rigidity that the arc holds its shape over decades of daily use and seasonal expansion cycles. The wider profile gives the weatherstripping and hardware a stable seat, which is where arched doors usually fail over time. Because the VLX 100 is fabricated to order, TruePane Windows & Doors can quote nearly any radius or span a Royal Palm Beach home requires, from a gentle eyebrow curve to a full half-round.
Technical Specifications
Here’s what the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door is built from, in plain terms:
- Frame material: Extruded aluminum, CNC-bent to your arch radius. Wall thickness is 0.098 inches, which is heavier than most residential aluminum door frames and resists twisting at the top of the arc.
- Profile width: 2.56 inches. This gives the door a substantial look from the street while leaving room for multi-point locking hardware and dual weatherstripping channels.
- Maximum span: Custom fabricated to order. TruePane Windows & Doors will field-measure your Royal Palm Beach opening before the order goes to so the arch is cut to your actual dimensions, not a builder’s approximation.
- Glass options: Clear, frosted, obscure, Low-E, tempered, and laminated. Laminated glass is the impact-rated option for homes in Royal Palm Beach that want a door that doubles as storm protection.
- Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, and Teak Wood. All six are factory-applied finishes, not site-painted, so color consistency runs edge to edge across the arched frame.
- Performance standards: Thermally broken with NFRC-rated energy performance, installed per AAMA 2400/2410 and sealed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam at every perimeter joint.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency. The VLX 100 frame carries a thermal break between the exterior and interior aluminum faces. In Royal Palm Beach, that break matters most in July and August, when an unbroken aluminum frame transfers outside heat straight to the interior side of the door. Pair the thermal break with Low-E glass and you’re looking at measurable cooling-load reduction, which is what the NFRC rating on this system is designed to communicate.
Acoustic Performance. The 0.098-inch frame wall, dual weatherstripping channels, and laminated or tempered glass options all contribute to sound control. If you’re near Belvedere Road, Southern Boulevard, or any of the busier cut-through streets in Royal Palm Beach, traffic noise at the front door is a real consideration. Laminated glass in particular takes the edge off road noise better than standard single-pane setups.
Airtightness & Weather Seal. AAMA 2400/2410 installation is the standard TruePane Windows & Doors follows on every door we hang. That means the rough opening is prepared correctly, the door is shimmed and anchored properly, and the perimeter gets a continuous air seal. The goal is a door that doesn’t whistle in a storm or let conditioned air bleed out around the frame.
Waterproofing. South Florida gets roughly 60 inches of rain a year, and a front door takes most of it on the windward side of the house. On VLX 100 installs in Royal Palm Beach, we seal every perimeter joint with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, then verify the sill and threshold details so water sheds away from the opening. Mist prevention and water management aren’t add-ons here. They’re the point of an exterior door.
Wind Resistance. The VLX 100, when spec’d with laminated impact glass, is wind-load rated for Florida coastal and inland requirements. Royal Palm Beach sits far enough inland that you’re not dealing with beachfront surge, but you’re absolutely in the zone where wind-driven debris and pressure cycling are design factors. A rigid arched frame with a deeply seated panel is structurally stronger than a squared door with an applique arch glued on top.
Security & Hardware. The 2.56-inch profile width accommodates a multi-point locking system, which engages at the head, sill, and latch edge rather than a single deadbolt at the handle. The aluminum frame is hard to pry, and the laminated glass option gives you impact resistance plus burglar deterrence in one upgrade. For a front entry in Royal Palm Beach, this is meaningful security, not marketing copy.
Color & Glass Options
The VLX 100 comes in six finishes, and the right choice depends on the architecture of your Royal Palm Beach home. Premium Black is the strongest choice on modern and contemporary elevations, where a dark frame against white stucco creates the cleanest contrast. Pure White disappears into light exteriors and suits traditional Florida coastal homes. Anodized Silver has a raw, machined look that reads honest on mid-century and industrial designs. Bronze sits well on Tuscan and Mediterranean homes, where darker warm metals are already part of the material palette. Champagne is the warmest neutral for beige and cream stucco. Teak Wood is a stand-in for timber entryways, giving you the look of a wood arched door without the maintenance issues wood has in Royal Palm Beach humidity.
Glass selection follows function. Clear glass maximizes light transfer through the arched panel. Frosted and obscure glass give you privacy while still letting daylight through, which matters on a front door facing a street or neighbor. Low-E is the energy spec, cutting solar heat gain on western exposures. Tempered glass is a safety requirement on full-lite doors and shatters into small pieces rather than shards. Laminated glass is the impact-rated option, built from two layers of glass with an interlayer that holds the panel together under impact. For a front entry in South Florida, laminated is the upgrade TruePane Windows & Doors recommends most often.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Royal Palm Beach
A custom arched door is only as good as the installation. The ViewLux factory warranty covers defects in material and fabrication, but a warranty claim dies the moment a failure is traced back to improper installation. That’s why TruePane Windows & Doors approaches every VLX 100 install in Royal Palm Beach as a standards-driven process, not a “hang it and go” job.
We start with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. Arched openings on older Royal Palm Beach homes are rarely perfectly symmetrical, and the opening may have settled since the original door was hung. We measure the arch at multiple points, check the sill for level, and confirm the framing is sound before the order goes to ViewLux. If the opening needs correction, we correct it before fabrication, not after delivery.
On install day, the door is set level, plumb, and square, with shims placed behind every anchor point. The perimeter gets a continuous AAMA 812 low-expansion foam seal, which stops air and water movement at the joint between frame and framing. We follow AAMA 2400/2410 installation standards throughout, which cover anchoring, flashing, and sealing for exterior fenestration products. After the door is hung and hardware is set, we run a water test and walk the homeowner through operation and maintenance before we consider the job done.
Royal Palm Beach-specific considerations matter here. The humid subtropical climate means aluminum frames expand and contract more than wood, so anchor placement and sealant selection have to account for thermal movement. The flat, hurricane-exposed terrain means wind-load requirements are non-negotiable. And most Royal Palm Beach HOAs have architectural review standards, so we’re accustomed to providing spec sheets and finish samples when an arched door replacement needs board approval.
Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
Lead time runs 6 to 10 weeks from final measurement approval, depending on ViewLux’s fabrication queue and the complexity of the arch radius. TruePane Windows & Doors recommends starting the process at least 8 weeks before you want the door installed, especially if HOA approval in Royal Palm Beach is part of your timeline. Call (386) 251-6745 to get on our measurement schedule.
It can, when spec’d with Low-E glass that meets the current federal efficiency thresholds for exterior doors. The thermal break in the frame also contributes to the door’s overall U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient, which are the two numbers that determine credit eligibility. Your tax professional makes the final call, but TruePane Windows & Doors can provide the NFRC documentation for your specific configuration.
ViewLux provides a limited manufacturer warranty on the frame, glass, and hardware, with the specific terms varying by component. TruePane Windows & Doors backs our installation with a workmanship warranty, and because we install per AAMA 2400/2410 standards, the manufacturer’s coverage stays intact. We’ll review warranty terms in writing before you sign anything.
Yes. The VLX 100 is fabricated to order, so your arch radius, door width, and door height are all driven by your actual opening in Royal Palm Beach, not by stock sizes. If you have an unusual opening, a half-round transom, or an asymmetrical arch, that’s exactly what this product is built for. The first step is an on-site measurement, which is free.
Aluminum frames need very little. Wash the frame and glass with mild soap and water a few times a year, keep the track and weatherstripping free of debris, and lubricate hinges and lock points annually. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the factory finish. In Royal Palm Beach, where salt air and hard water are both factors, a consistent rinse schedule keeps the finish looking new for decades.
