Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

The VLX 100 exists because buyers in Port St. Lucie keep asking for something stock door catalogs don’t offer: a true radius top that holds its shape for decades. ViewLux engineers bend the aluminum profile on CNC equipment, so the arch isn’t an approximation. It’s a continuous, machine-formed curve with consistent wall thickness throughout the bend. That matters because hand-formed arches tend to flatten or distort over time, especially on west-facing entries in Florida sun. The VLX 100 doesn’t.

Where this door fits architecturally: Mediterranean and Spanish Revival homes in Port St. Lucie, FL. Modern coastal builds along the St. Lucie River. Custom entries in Tradition, Torino, and the wider master-planned communities where homeowners want a front door that doesn’t look like every fourth house on the block. The flat profile width of 2.56 inches gives the door enough visual weight to read as intentional, not skinny, while the 0.098-inch wall thickness keeps the frame rigid through Port St. Lucie’s temperature swings and humidity cycles.

We tell customers this: the arch is the point, but the engineering behind it is what you’re really paying for. Most arched doors fail because the curve wasn’t manufactured with precision. The VLX 100 is fabricated to order, meaning your opening determines the radius, the spring line, and the rise. Nothing is forced. When TruePane Windows & Doors installs it, the arch sits dead true in the opening. That’s the difference between a door that looks custom and one that actually is.

Technical Specifications

Here’s what the VLX 100 brings to the table, in plain terms rather than a manufacturer spec sheet:

• Wall thickness: 0.098-inch aluminum extrusion. This is a heavier-gauge profile than most stock arched doors, which is why the VLX 100 resists racking and stays square in the opening.
• Profile width: 2.56 inches. Slim enough for contemporary sightlines, wide enough to house the thermal break and multi-point hardware without looking industrial.
• Maximum span: Custom fabricated to order. There’s no fixed catalog of sizes. We field-measure your rough opening builds the door to that radius and rise.
• Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, Laminated. Mix and match depending on privacy needs and code requirements.
• Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, Teak Wood.
• Performance standards: Thermal break technology with NFRC-rated energy performance. AAMA 2400/2410 installation standard compliance. AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant at all perimeter joints.
• Regional rating: Wind-load rated for local climate requirements in Port St. Lucie and greater St. Lucie County.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency
The VLX 100 carries a full thermal break through the frame, not just the glass package. In Port St. Lucie, FL direct afternoon sun on an east-facing entry is the real test. An unbroken aluminum frame conducts heat straight into your foyer. The thermal break interrupts that path. NFRC-rated performance means the numbers are verified, not vendor claims. Add Low-E glass and you cut the solar heat gain meaningfully without darkening the entry.

Acoustic Performance
You’d be surprised how much sound comes through a front door. If your Port St. Lucie home sits near Crosstown Parkway, US 1, or a school zone, laminated glass in your VLX 100 drops street noise by a noticeable margin. Laminated glass uses an interlayer that dampens vibration across a wider frequency range than standard monolithic glass. It’s the same principle used in impact-rated glazing, and it doubles as a security feature.

Airtightness & Weather Seal
Florida humidity finds every gap. The VLX 100 uses compression gaskets at the frame and sill, and TruePane Windows & Doors seals every perimeter joint with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam. That foam fills voids without warping the frame, something cheaper expanding foams will do. The result is an entry that doesn’t leak conditioned air in July or let moist air into the wall cavity in January.

Waterproofing
An arched door has a curved head where water wants to collect and run down the jambs. The VLX 100’s sill design and integrated drainage channels direct water away from the threshold. We install per AAMA 2400/2410, which sets the standard for how flashing, sealant, and drainage are handled at the rough opening. In Port St. Lucie, where afternoon thunderstorms are a summer routine, this is not optional.

Wind Resistance
St. Lucie County building code requires doors to handle real wind loads. The VLX 100 is wind-load rated and accepts laminated impact glass. That matters if your home falls in a higher wind zone or if you simply want one less thing to board up. The heavier 0.098-inch wall profile helps the door resist deflection under pressure, which keeps the hardware aligned and the seals tight.

Security & Hardware
The VLX 100 supports multi-point locking hardware rather than a single latch at the handle. Multi-point locks throw bolts at the head and sill, not just the jamb. That spreads forced-entry resistance across three points instead of one. Combined with laminated glass, an intruder can’t just pop the latch or break the lite and reach through. The frame’s heavier wall thickness also makes prying the door from its jamb much harder.

Color & Glass Options

Six finishes cover most architectural directions in Port St. Lucie, FL. Premium Black reads sharp on modern and transitional homes, and it holds up visually against lighter stucco. Pure White suits coastal residences and keeps the entry feeling cool from the street. Anodized Silver has a metallic sheen that pairs with contemporary builds, especially homes with stainless or chrome exterior elements. Bronze and Champagne lean traditional, working well on Spanish Revival and Tuscan-style homes common in PGA Village and the older neighborhoods off Port St. Lucie Boulevard. Teak Wood is a textured woodgrain finish for homeowners who want the warmth of a timber door without the maintenance that real wood demands in Florida humidity.

On glass: Clear maximizes light. Frosted gives privacy while keeping the entry bright, ideal for a full glass arched door on a front entry. Obscure takes privacy further with patterned diffusion. Low-E should be the default choice in our climate, it rejects solar heat while maintaining clarity. Tempered is required by code for most door lites and breaks safely if impacted. Laminated offers the impact resistance and acoustic damping described above. Any combination is available on the VLX 100.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Port St. Lucie

An arched door lives or dies by its installation. A door that’s 1/8 inch out of square at the sill translates to a visible gap at the arch head. That’s not a manufacturer defect, it’s an installation failure. It’s also why a manufacturer warranty often won’t cover it. ViewLux warranties the product. The installation has to be right for the product to function as engineered.

Our process starts with a field measurement of the existing rough opening. We verify the opening’s radius against the door’s radius, check the structure for rot or settling, and confirm the concrete substrate at the threshold is sound. If the opening needs adjustment, we document it before ordering so the door arrives ready to set.

Installation follows AAMA 2400/2410 standards, which govern how doors and windows are set, flashed, and integrated with the building envelope. We set the frame level, plumb, and square using shims placed at the manufacturer’s reinforcement points, not wherever is easiest. Every perimeter joint gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant applied in a continuous bead. That seals air and water while allowing the frame to move slightly with thermal expansion, critical for a black-finished arched door facing afternoon sun in Port St. Lucie.

Once set, we run a water test around the threshold and jambs, then re-check the door’s operation: latch engagement, multi-point throw, head alignment. Cleanup includes removal of all debris and a walkthrough with you on how to operate and maintain the hardware. The job isn’t done until the arch looks right from the curb and operates right from the inside. That’s the standard we hold for every VLX 100 we install in Port St. Lucie, FL.

Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

What is the lead time for the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door?
Because the VLX 100 is custom fabricated to your opening’s specific radius and rise, expect a lead time of approximately 4 to 8 weeks from signed approval to delivery at our Port St. Lucie facility. ViewLux CNC-bends each door to order, and finishes like Champagne or Teak Wood can add a few days. We’ll give you a written schedule when you place the order. Call (772) 362-3326 and we’ll start with a free measurement.

Does the VLX 100 qualify for energy tax credits?
The short answer is maybe, depending on the glass package and the specific credit program in effect. Doors with Low-E glazing and a documented NFRC rating are more likely to qualify than basic clear glass. We can’t guarantee a tax credit, but we can provide the NFRC documentation for your build so your accountant or tax preparer can determine eligibility. For a door-specific answer, call (772) 362-3326 and we’ll review the current criteria with you.

What warranty comes with the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door?
ViewLux provides a manufacturer warranty on the door frame and glass, and TruePane Windows & Doors backs our installation workmanship separately. The key warranty condition is that installation must comply with AAMA standards, which is exactly how we install. Improper installation is the number one reason door warranties get denied, so having an authorized partner handle the full scope protects your coverage from day one.

Can I customize the size of the VLX 100?
Yes. The VLX 100 is custom fabricated to order, so your arch radius, rise, spring line, and overall height and width are all determined by your actual opening, not a standard chart. That’s the advantage of a CNC-bent product. We measure, you approve the shop drawings builds to those numbers. No shaving, forcing, or compromising the curve to make a stock door fit.

How do I maintain aluminum frames in Port St. Lucie’s climate?
Aluminum frames need very little: wash the frame and glass twice a year with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and avoid abrasive cleaners on powder-coated finishes. Check the weatherstripping and sill drainage channels every six months and clear any debris. Salt air near the coast will settle on the finish, so more frequent rinsing is wise for homes close to the St. Lucie River or the ocean. If you ever notice a seal or gasket issue, call (772) 362-3326 and we’ll inspect it, warranty covers defects.
