Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

Most entry doors are flat, rectangular, and forgettable. The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door was engineered for architects and homeowners who refuse that default. ViewLux builds each unit with CNC-bent aluminum framing that follows a true radius without welded kinks or visible seams. The result is a curved architectural statement with structural precision - a door that reads as intentional from fifty feet away.

The aluminum construction resists the humidity and salt air that degrades wood and steel in South Florida. We’ve installed these in Weston homes facing golf course fairways, lakefront lots, and courtyard entries where the arched silhouette frames the view instead of boxing it in. The 0.098″ wall thickness gives the frame rigidity without bulk, and the 2.56″ profile width strikes a proportion that works on both modest single-story homes and two-story estate entries.

Because each VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door is custom fabricated to order, you’re not selecting from a catalog of preset sizes. You’re defining the span, the radius, the swing or pivot configuration, and the glass package. That flexibility matters in Weston, where Mediterranean, contemporary, and transitional styles sit side by side and no two builder spec sheets match.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency

The VLX 100 uses thermal break technology to separate interior and exterior aluminum surfaces, cutting conductive heat transfer. NFRC-rated performance means your cooling load stays predictable during Weston’s brutal July afternoons. Pair with Low-E glass and the improvement is measurable on your FPL bill.

Acoustic Performance

Laminated glass and precision frame gaskets dampen the road noise from Bonaventure Boulevard and the mechanical hum of pool equipment. The arched geometry itself disrupts sound wave reflection better than flat planes. We specify acoustic ratings based on your lot’s specific exposure.

Airtightness & Weather Seal

Continuous compression seals and factory-aligned hardware maintain positive closure pressure. The AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant we apply at perimeter joints stays flexible through decades of expansion cycles. No whistling during cold fronts, no dust infiltration during dry season.

Waterproofing

Sill pans, head flashing, and jamb integration follow AAMA 2400/2410 standards for water management. In Weston, where summer storms drop inches in an hour, this matters. We slope every sill, seal every penetration, and test with a calibrated spray rack before we leave.

Wind Resistance

The 0.098″ wall thickness and engineered corner joints handle wind-load requirements for Broward County. Impact-resistant laminated glass is available for homes in High-Velocity Hurricane Zones. We pull permits to the specific wind speed map for your Weston address.

Security & Hardware

Multi-point locking hardware engages at the sill, center, and head. Tempered or laminated glass resists forced entry. The custom fabrication process includes reinforced strike plates sized to your jamb depth. We don’t install decorative hardware that compromises security.

Color & Glass Options

Premium Black dominates contemporary Weston homes with flat roofs and minimal landscaping. It makes the arched curve read as a deliberate graphic element. Pure White suits the stucco exteriors common in Savanna and The Ridges, reflecting heat and staying crisp against terracotta roofs.

Anodized Silver carries an industrial honesty that works on mid-century inspired renovations. Bronze warms up traditional Mediterranean entries without the maintenance of actual copper. Champagne splits the difference - sophisticated without demanding attention. Teak Wood gives you the grain pattern of tropical hardwood with aluminum’s immunity to termites and rot.

Glass selection depends on privacy and solar control needs. Clear maximizes daylight and views. Frosted obscures silhouettes for entries facing the street. Obscure patterns add texture without blocking light entirely. Low-E coatings reject infrared heat. Tempered meets safety code for door lites. Laminated gives you impact resistance plus sound damping. Most Weston clients pair Low-E with either clear or frosted depending on orientation.

Installation by Sightline Windows & Doors Weston in Weston

A door this precise demands installation that matches it. At Sightline Windows & Doors Weston, we treat the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door as a structural element, not a commodity swap.

We start with a pre-install inspection that measures the rough opening in six places - top, middle, bottom, both sides. Arched units have no forgiveness for out-of-square framing. If your existing header needs reinforcement or your sill plate has settled, we catch it before fabrication begins. That saves weeks and prevents the change-order conversation nobody wants.

Setting the frame, we work to level, plumb, and square within 1/16″ across the full span. Shims are structural, not improvised. We anchor through the jamb into structural framing, not just trim board. The AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant goes in as a continuous bead at all perimeter joints - no gaps, no overfill that bows the frame.

Our installations comply with AAMA 2400/2410 standards, which govern how storefront and entrance systems interface with the building envelope. We pull permits through the City of Weston when required, and we schedule inspections so your certificate of occupancy stays on track.

Before we leave, we run a water test on the installed unit. We check hardware alignment under load. We clean the glass and vacuum the track. And we document the installation with photos for your warranty file - because ViewLux requires professional installation to maintain coverage, and a handyman special voids it entirely.

Weston’s combination of high humidity, intense UV, and seasonal storm exposure means shortcuts show up fast. We’ve replaced doors in Weston that failed at five years because the original installer skipped the sill pan or used the wrong sealant. We don’t skip steps.

Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

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

Fabrication typically runs 8-12 weeks from final measurement approval, since each unit is CNC-bent to your specific radius and span. We coordinate delivery to our Weston warehouse and schedule installation the week it arrives. Call (754) 812-9260 to start the measurement process and get a current timeline.

Does the VLX 100 qualify for energy tax credits?

Doors with NFRC-rated thermal break construction and Low-E glass may contribute to federal energy efficiency credits depending on the tax year and your total project scope. We provide NFRC performance labels and product certification documents for your accountant. Call (754) 812-9260 to confirm which glass package qualifies for current incentives.

What warranty comes with the Arched / Custom Door?

ViewLux backs the frame and finish with a limited lifetime warranty, and glass components carry separate coverage terms. The warranty requires installation by an authorized partner - which is why Sightline Windows & Doors Weston handles the full process. Improper installation voids protection, so we document every step for your file.

Can I customize the size?

Yes - the VLX 100 is custom fabricated to order with no preset maximum span. We’ve installed single arched units exceeding twelve feet in Weston estate homes and paired narrower radius doors in courtyard clusters. Your field measurement determines the final fabrication.

How do I maintain aluminum frames in Weston’s climate?

Rinse frames quarterly with fresh water to remove salt and mineral deposits, especially if you’re near a lake or golf course irrigation. Wash annually with mild soap and a soft brush. Lubricate hinges and locks with silicone spray twice yearly. The powder coat finish doesn’t require waxing or sealing. Avoid abrasive cleaners - they’ll scratch the surface and void the finish warranty.
