AfterVLX 100 Arched / Custom Door in Palm Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
An arched entry door changes how a home meets the street. The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door takes that classic silhouette and builds it from CNC-bent aluminum, so the curve is machined to exact tolerances rather than forced into shape on site. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, an authorized ViewLux installation partner serving Palm Beach, FL. That partnership matters: you get a door engineered by ViewLux and installed by our own crew, not a third-party subcontractor. We set every arched door level, plumb, and square, and we back the workmanship. If you’re pricing an arched entry for a Palm Beach home, call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll walk you through real numbers.
Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door is a curved architectural statement with structural precision. ViewLux fabricates each unit by CNC-bending aluminum profiles to the specified arc, which means the radius is consistent from jamb to crown. That’s the difference between an arched door that looks intentional and one that looks improvised. In Palm Beach, where Mediterranean Revival, Spanish Colonial, and mid-century ranch homes all feature arched openings, this door gives architects and homeowners a way to honor the original geometry without sacrificing modern performance.
Buyers choose the VLX 100 for a few clear reasons. First, it’s made to order: there is no standard arch radius you’re forced to accept. We measure the existing opening or the plan, and ViewLux fabricates to those dimensions. Second, the material holds up in coastal air. Aluminum doesn’t absorb humidity the way wood does, so you won’t see swelling around the arc or stile separation after a few Palm Beach summers. Third, the door carries real engineering behind the aesthetics: a thermal break in the profile, laminated glass options, and wind-load ratings that make sense for our code requirements.
The frame starts with 0.098-inch wall-thickness aluminum and a 2.56-inch profile width. That’s a substantial extrusion. It resists racking during transport and installation, and it gives the door long-term dimensional stability. The arch is not bent on a job-site jig; it’s cut and curved under factory control, then assembled with the same hardware and weatherstripping used across ViewLux’s high-performance door lines. For Palm Beach homeowners who want an entry that reads custom without the maintenance burden of a hand-carved wood door, the VLX 100 is the practical answer.

Because every VLX 100 arch is fabricated to the measured opening, we don’t work from a one-size-fits-most catalog. We work from your dimensions. That applies to both new construction in Palm Beach neighborhoods like El Cid and Prospect Park, and to replacement work in older homes where openings have settled out of true.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency
The VLX 100 uses a thermally broken aluminum profile, which separates the exterior and interior metal faces to reduce heat transfer. In Palm Beach, that means less solar gain through the frame itself, and NFRC-rated energy performance figures available for your specific glass package. Pair it with Low-E glass and the door does real work for your AC bill.
Acoustic Performance
Aluminum extrusions with proper weatherstripping and a laminated glass option cut street noise noticeably. If your Palm Beach home fronts a busier road like Southern Boulevard or Dixie Highway, laminated glass in the VLX 100 makes the entry quieter without adding a second door.
Airtightness & Weather Seal
The door’s perimeter sealing is part of the installation system, not an afterthought. TruePane Windows & Doors applies AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant on every joint, which seals gaps without bowing the frame. That keeps conditioned air in and humid outdoor air out.
Waterproofing
Arched doors concentrate water at the crown, so sill design and perimeter sealing matter more than on a rectangle. The VLX 100’s factory weatherstripping, combined with our AAMA 2400/2410 installation and sill flashing, directs water away from the threshold. Mist prevention and water-tight assembly are standard expectations, not upgrades.
Wind Resistance
Palm Beach sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone. The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for local climate requirements, and when configured with impact-resistant laminated glass, it meets the protection levels our building code demands for glazed openings. We can document the ratings for your permit package.
Security & Hardware
The profiled aluminum frame resists prying better than a wood jamb. Multi-point locking hardware is available, and when you add laminated glass, the door becomes a genuine barrier. For Palm Beach homeowners who split time between Florida and elsewhere, that’s a meaningful upgrade.
Color & Glass Options
The VLX 100 comes in six finishes, and the choice shifts the architectural tone more than most buyers expect. Premium Black reads modern and crisp against white stucco, which makes it popular for newer Palm Beach builds and contemporary renovations. Pure White suits traditional coastal homes and pairs well with pale exteriors. Anodized Silver is a quieter metallic that works on mid-century and minimal facades. Bronze and Champagne both lean warm; Bronze fits Mediterranean and Spanish Revival homes, while Champagne adds warmth without the heaviness. Teak Wood is a wood-grain finish for homeowners who want the look of timber with aluminum’s zero-maintenance behavior.
Glass selection depends on orientation and privacy. Clear is the default for unobstructed light. Frosted and Obscure make sense for entries where you want daylight but not visibility from the street. Low-E is the energy play, reflecting heat while staying visually transparent. Tempered glass is a safety upgrade that crumbles rather than shatters on impact. Laminated glass is the heavy hitter: it holds together when struck, adds acoustic damping, and is the required base for impact-rated configurations in Palm Beach.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Palm Beach
An arched door lives or dies at installation. The ViewLux product is precise, but if the rough opening is even slightly off, the arch won’t seat correctly, the weatherstripping won’t compress evenly, and the door will bind or leak. That’s the core reason ViewLux authorizes TruePane Windows & Doors as an installation partner in Palm Beach, FL. We install to the manufacturer’s spec, which keeps your warranty intact.
Our process starts with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. We check the arc against the fabricated door, verify the sill is level, and confirm the structural surround can carry the door’s weight. Then we set the frame plumb, level, and square before any anchoring happens. We don’t shim and hope; we measure as we go, correcting the opening when needed.
Once the frame is set, we run AAMA 812 low-expansion foam around the entire perimeter. That’s every joint, not just the verticals. Low-expansion matters because it seals without exerting pressure on the frame. Over-expanding foam is a common shortcut that bows aluminum and ruins the reveal. After foam, we apply the exterior sealant per AAMA 2400/2410, install sill flashing to shed water away from the threshold, and complete a final water test before cleanup.
Palm Beach specifics matter here. Salt air accelerates corrosion on cheap hardware; we spec marine-grade fasteners and hardware. High-wind requirements under Florida building code mean every anchor point matters, and our work is documented for your inspection. An improperly installed arched door voids the manufacturer warranty and becomes a leak point in the first heavy rain. With TruePane Windows & Doors, the installation is the part you don’t have to manage.
Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
Lead time is typically 6 to 10 weeks from final measurement and glass/finish confirmation, because each arch is custom fabricated to your opening’s exact radius. In Palm Beach, where many homes have non-standard arched openings, measurement errors are the biggest cause of delay, so we verify dimensions before the order goes to ViewLux. Call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll give you a current production window based on your specs.
It can, depending on the glass package. Low-E and thermally broken configurations that meet NFRC-rated U-factor and solar heat gain thresholds may qualify for federal energy tax credits available through 2032. We can provide the performance documentation for your specific door configuration. Call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll review what applies to your project.
The VLX 100 carries ViewLux’s manufacturer warranty on the frame and glass, and TruePane Windows & Doors provides a workmanship warranty on the installation. The manufacturer warranty is contingent on installation by an authorized partner following their specified methods, which is exactly how we install in Palm Beach. We’ll give you the warranty documents in writing with your quote.
Yes. This is a custom-fabricated product, so your arch radius, width, and height are built to the measured opening, not forced into a stock size. That’s the entire point of the VLX 100 line. If you’re matching an existing arch in a Palm Beach historic district home, we template the opening so the door matches the original geometry rather than approximating it.
Wash the frame with mild soap and water two or three times a year, and rinse thoroughly to remove salt residue. Check the weatherstripping and sill track for debris, but don’t lubricate the gaskets. The finish is a factory-applied coating, not painted on-site, so it resists chalking and fading far longer than field-applied paint. For hardware, a light silicone spray on moving parts once a year is enough.
