AfterVLX 100 Bifold / Folding Door in Palm Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
The VLX 100 Bifold / Folding Door is an accordion-style aluminum door system that folds panel by panel to open an entire wall. In Palm Beach, where indoor-outdoor living drives home design, this is the door that removes the barrier between your living room and your lanai, pool deck, or garden. TruePane Windows & Doors installs the ViewLux VLX 100 across Palm Beach County, from West Palm Beach to Boca Raton to Palm Beach Gardens. We’re an authorized ViewLux installation partner, which means you get factory-backed product quality plus a local crew that measures, installs, and stands behind the work. Call (850) 801-5596 for a free estimate.
Product Overview - VLX 100 Bifold / Folding Door
The VLX 100 is built around one idea: when you want the wall gone, it should actually be gone. The panels fold flat against each other and stack neatly to the side, leaving an opening up to 20 feet wide with no center post. That’s a wall-to-wall opening, not a wide doorway. For a Palm Beach home where the prevailing breeze moves east to west across the property, that changes how the whole house breathes.
The frame is extruded aluminum with a profile width of 2.56 inches. That’s slim enough to keep sightlines clean but deep enough to carry multiple panels without sagging. The wall thickness measures 0.098 inches, which gives the door structural rigidity without the bulky feel of commercial storefront framing. Buyers choose the VLX 100 because it delivers the minimalist look of a high-end folding door without the maintenance headaches of wood or the flexing you sometimes see in cheaper vinyl systems.
Architecturally, the VLX 100 fits mid-century modern ranches, contemporary new builds, and Mediterranean-style Palm Beach homes where the rear elevation opens to a courtyard or pool. It works equally well as a room divider between a living space and a covered loggia. The accordion-style folding mechanism means the door stack takes up roughly 20 percent of the opening width when fully open, so you keep most of your opening as actual opening.

Impact-resistant laminated glass is available for the VLX 100. In Palm Beach, where wind-load requirements dictate much of what gets permitted, that option matters. We’ll talk through which glass package makes sense for your opening and your exposure during the estimate.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency. The VLX 100 frame carries a thermal break that separates interior and exterior aluminum, reducing heat transfer through the metal. In Palm Beach’s summer humidity, that means less condensation on the interior frame and lower cooling loads. NFRC-rated glazing packages let us match the door to your energy goals.
Acoustic Performance. Laminated glass and tight perimeter seals cut exterior noise noticeably. We install VLX 100 doors on homes along Dixie Highway, near the Brightline corridor, and under flight paths into PBIA. Owners report a real difference in interior quiet the day the old sliders come out.
Airtightness & Weather Seal. Each panel closes against interlocking weatherstripping, and every perimeter joint gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant. That seal prevents air infiltration that drives up AC bills and makes rooms feel drafty even when windows are closed.
Waterproofing. Palm Beach gets 60-plus inches of rain a year, much of it in hard afternoon storms. The VLX 100 sill and frame are designed to shed water outward, and our AAMA 2400/2410 installation includes a water test after setup. We don’t leave a door until water runs away from it.
Wind Resistance. The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for Florida coastal requirements. With the impact-resistant laminated glass option, the door system meets the Miami-Dade and Palm Beach County standards that govern much of our coastal construction. We’ll confirm the right rating for your specific location.
Security & Hardware. Multi-point locking hardware engages at each panel junction. The aluminum frame resists prying, and the laminated glass option adds an additional security layer. Hinges and rollers are commercial-grade stainless steel components sized for years of daily cycling.
Color & Glass Options
Palm Beach architecture spans 1920s Spanish Revival to brand-new modern. The VLX 100’s six finishes cover that range. Premium Black reads sharp on white stucco and works beautifully with black window frames on contemporary builds. Pure White disappears into light-colored walls and suits traditional Palm Beach interiors. Anodized Silver is the honest industrial look, popular in loft-style interiors and coastal modern homes. Bronze adds warmth and pairs well with wood-look tile and darker exterior trim. Champagne is subtle and warm, less orange than bronze, and works on both modern and transitional homes. Teak Wood gives you the appearance of rich wood grain with aluminum’s zero-maintenance reality.
Glass selection depends on orientation and exposure. Clear glass maximizes light and views, which is usually the point of a bifold. Low-E glass cuts heat gain, an honest concern for a west-facing wall in Palm Beach. Tempered glass is standard-safety rated and required for doors in most residential code. Laminated glass adds impact resistance and is what you want for hurricane-rated openings and noisier lots. Gray Tint and Black Tint reduce glare on east-facing openings and add privacy during daytime hours.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
Every VLX 100 we install starts with a pre-install inspection. We measure the opening in three places, check the floor for level, verify the header is straight, and confirm the rough opening is square. On older Palm Beach homes, this is where we find the surprises: settled slabs, bowed headers, framing that’s moved over fifty years of humidity cycles. We correct those issues before the door ever arrives, because a folding door is unforgiving. If the opening isn’t level, plumb, and square, the panels bind and the locks misalign.
Installation follows AAMA 2400/2410 standards. We set the frame on shims, anchor it through the thermal break at proper intervals, and seal every perimeter joint with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam. That foam matters. Traditional caulk cracks under Palm Beach sun exposure within a few years. Low-expansion foam moves with the building, keeps water out, and stays sealed through temperature swings.
Improper installation voids the ViewLux manufacturer warranty. That’s not a scare tactic; it’s in the warranty language. A door that’s racked, shimmed wrong, or sealed poorly will leak, bind, and fail early. When TruePane Windows & Doors installs your VLX 100, the warranty stays intact and we’re the single point of contact if anything ever needs attention.

Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Bifold / Folding Door
Lead time for the VLX 100 typically runs 4 to 6 weeks from order placement to delivery at our Palm Beach shop, depending on glass type and finish. Laminated impact glass and custom finishes can add 1 to 2 weeks. We schedule your install date before we order, so the door arrives and goes in without sitting on a job site. Call (850) 801-5596 for a current lead time on your configuration.
The VLX 100 may qualify for federal energy efficiency tax credits when ordered with Low-E glass that meets current ENERGY STAR criteria for the South Florida climate zone. We’ll provide the NFRC documentation you need for your tax filing at no charge. Call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll verify your glass package qualifies before you commit.
The VLX 100 carries a manufacturer warranty from ViewLux that covers frame components, hardware, and glass against defects, with the coverage term varying by component. The warranty remains valid only when installation follows AAMA standards, which is our standard on every job. We also back our labor with our own workmanship warranty.
Yes. The VLX 100 is a made-to-order system, not a stock door. Panel widths and heights are built to your exact opening, up to a 20-foot maximum span and within the panel count configuration that fits your space. We’ll help you determine the right panel layout, swing direction, and stack placement for your Palm Beach home before ordering.
Aluminum frames need almost nothing. Wash the frame with mild soap and water twice a year, clean the bottom track with a vacuum and damp cloth, and lubricate rollers and hinges annually with a silicone-based spray. In Palm Beach’s salt air, an extra rinse every few months keeps coastal residue from dulling the finish. Never use abrasive cleaners on the powder-coated finish.
