Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
The VLX 100 exists because some entryways deserve more than a flat top. This is a door built around a CNC-bent aluminum frame, meaning the arch is not a separate decorative add-on. The curve is cut and bent from a single structural profile, so the radius is consistent from jamb to crown. The result is a curved architectural statement with structural precision, the kind of entrance you see on custom estates along Aero Club Drive or in the gated communities off South Shore Boulevard.
Architecturally, the VLX 100 works where the home already speaks in curves. Mediterranean-inspired builds, Spanish-revival facades, and the softer contemporary styles going up in Wellington’s newer developments all benefit from an arched entry. Buyers choose this series for a few reasons. First, the visual impact is immediate from the street. Second, the aluminum frame accepts oversized glass panels, so the door stays visually light while supporting spans that would flex other materials. Third, the frameless-look profile, at 2.56 inches wide, keeps sightlines clean without sacrificing torsional rigidity.
The engineering underneath matters more than the silhouette. The frame wall measures 0.098 inches, which gives the structure stiffness against wind loads and daily use. Thermal break technology separates the interior and exterior aluminum faces, so the frame does not conduct heat the way older aluminum systems did. For Wellington’s summer heat and storm-season rain, that separation is the difference between a door that performs and one that just looks good. We install this door in Wellington with the understanding that it will face real weather, not showroom conditions.

Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency - The VLX 100’s thermal break separates interior and exterior aluminum, cutting heat transfer through the frame itself. In Wellington, where air conditioning runs ten months a year, a conductive frame means higher energy bills and condensation. The break plus Low-E glass keeps the interior face of the door closer to room temperature, which also reduces fogging at the sill.
Acoustic Performance - Laminated glass is the quiet option. The interlayer between glass panes dampens sound transmission, which matters on streets like Wellington Trace or for homes backing up to equestrian facilities. Even without lamination, the airtight seal around the perimeter cuts the small air leaks that let noise through.
Airtightness & Weather Seal - Every joint around the VLX 100 frame receives AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant. This is not caulk from a retail shelf; it is a closed-cell foam that expands into gaps and stops air movement. The result is a door assembly that holds conditioned air inside and keeps humid Florida air outside, which matters after spring rains when outdoor humidity climbs above 80 percent.
Waterproofing - Water gets into homes through the perimeter, not through the glass. The AAMA 2400/2410 installation method used by TruePane Windows & Doors includes a sill pan and flashing sequence that directs water outward. We do not rely on sealant alone. The drainage plane is built into the rough opening before the door ever goes in.
Wind Resistance - Wellington falls within a high-velocity wind zone by Florida building code. The VLX 100 aluminum frame, with its 0.098-inch wall, carries wind loads without flexing the way thinner profiles do. When specified with impact-rated laminated glass, the assembly meets the local requirements for windborne debris protection that apply to new construction and major renovations.
Security & Hardware - An arched door is only as strong as its locking points. The VLX 100 accepts multi-point hardware that throws bolts at the head, sill, and jamb simultaneously. Combined with the structural aluminum frame, the door resists prying in a way that standard single-point deadbolts do not.
Color & Glass Options
ViewLux finishes the VLX 100 in six ways, and the choice changes the entire look of the entryway. Premium Black reads modern and crisp, pairing well with white stucco or light brick, and is a popular choice in Wellington’s newer contemporary builds. Pure White blends into bright facades and suits the classic Palm Beach look. Anodized Silver gives a true metallic feel with a matte industrial character. Bronze carries warmth and weight, which fits Mediterranean architecture and Tuscan-style homes common around Wellington’s equestrian neighborhoods. Champagne lands between silver and bronze, a softer metallic for transitional designs. Teak Wood is a wood-grain finish over aluminum, giving the warmth of timber without warping or rot.
On glass, the decision comes down to light, privacy, and code. Clear glass maximizes daylight and visibility. Frosted glass diffuses light across the entry while keeping the interior private, useful for front doors that open directly into living space. Obscure glass does the same with texture rather than a milky film. Low-E coatings cut solar heat gain, important for west-facing entries in Wellington. Tempered glass shatters into small cubes rather than sharp shards, required by code for doors. Laminated glass is the impact option, the one to specify if the door must meet Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code windborne debris standards.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Wellington
The way a door is installed determines how long it performs. TruePane Windows & Doors installs every VLX 100 in Wellington to AAMA 2400/2410 standards, which means the rough opening gets inspected and corrected before the door ever touches the wall. An arched opening is unforgiving. If the rough opening is off by even a quarter inch at the crown, the door binds, the weather seal fails, and the manufacturer warranty is void. This is the most common failure we see when we replace doors installed by generalist contractors who do not specialize in window and door work.
Our process starts with a pre-install inspection of the structural header and the sill substrate. In Wellington, many homes have wood sub-frames that have absorbed humidity over the years. We check for rot and deflection before committing to install. Then we set the frame level, plumb, and square, shimming as needed so the arch carries evenly across its span. Every perimeter joint receives an AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant, which air-seals and insulates the gap. We flash the sill to shed water outward and run a final water test before we call the job done. Cleanup includes removal of the old door, packaging, and fasteners. You are left with a working door and no debris.
Wellington’s building permits require wind-load documentation on exterior door replacements in most cases. TruePane Windows & Doors handles the product data and installation details the permitting office asks for. If your HOA, whether it is Buena Vida or Palm Beach Polo, requires architectural review, we provide spec sheets for the submittal.
Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

Custom arched geometry is fabricated to order, and Laminated impact glass adds time. We give you a real date at contract, not a range that slips. Call (561) 349-4826 and we will check current production schedules while you are on the phone.
The VLX 100 itself is rated for NFRC thermal performance through its thermal break and Low-E glass package, and whether your specific configuration qualifies for available credits depends on the U-factor and SHGC of the glass you select. We can provide the exact certified numbers before you commit. Call (561) 349-4826 for the performance data on your preferred configuration.
The VLX 100 carries the manufacturer’s warranty on the frame, glass, and finish, which stays valid only when the door is installed by an authorized partner using AAMA-compliant methods. As a ViewLux authorized installation partner, TruePane Windows & Doors keeps your warranty intact. Our workmanship is also backed in writing. Call (561) 349-4826 if you want to review warranty terms before ordering.
Yes, the VLX 100 is custom fabricated to order. That means the arch radius, width, height, and even a radius-and-leg combination are built to your rough opening, not cut from stock sizes. The maximum span is engineered per project based on wind load and glass weight. We measure the opening ourselves in Wellington, so the fabrication starts from verified dimensions. Call (561) 349-4826 to book a measurement.
Aluminum frames in Wellington’s climate need washing with mild soap and water every three to four months to remove salt, pollen, and equestrian dust. Check the sweep and weatherstripping at the sill once a year, and keep the track drains clear of debris. If you have a Teak Wood finish, do not use abrasive cleaners. We walk every homeowner through maintenance at install. Call (561) 349-4826 with any questions after installation, we are happy to advise.
