Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

Most door manufacturers treat arches as an upsell headache. They bend framing on-site, force a square door into a radius opening, or tell you it can’t be done. The VLX 100 comes at the problem from the opposite direction. ViewLux CNC-bends the aluminum profile to your specified arc before the door ever leaves the factory. The result is a true curved architectural statement with structural precision, no field-bent metal, no sprung joints, no gaps filled with trim and hope.

Where does the VLX 100 fit? We see it most on Fort Pierce homes with Mediterranean, Spanish Revival, or Key West coastal styling. Think arched entryways in Indrio, Lakewood Park, or the older streets near downtown Fort Pierce where original arched openings still exist but the doors in them are decades old. We also install the VLX 100 on modern builds where a single striking curve breaks up an otherwise flat facade. The aluminum profile is 2.56 inches wide with a .098-inch wall thickness, which gives the door real structural mass without the weight penalty of steel. It feels substantial when it closes, the way a premium entry door should.

Buyers choose this series for three reasons: they want a door that fits an existing arch without demolition, they want the low-maintenance longevity of aluminum in Florida’s salt air, or they want a front entry that no neighbor has. Often it’s all three. Because TruePane Windows & Doors handles both product and installation in Fort Pierce, you deal with one warranty, one schedule, and one team from first measurement to final caulk bead.

Technical Specifications

The VLX 100 is built on a foundation of numbers that matter. Here’s what you’re getting, in plain terms:

• Profile width: 2.56 inches, a slim sightline that keeps the focus on the glass and the curve, not the frame.
• Wall thickness: 0.098 inches of aluminum extrusion, which resists racking and twisting far better than thinner residential profiles.
• Maximum span: Custom fabricated to order. Your opening dictates the door, not the other way around. True radius, elliptical, or modified arch profiles are all on the table.
• Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, and Laminated. Mix and match depending on privacy, energy, or impact requirements.
• Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, and Teak Wood.
• Thermal performance: Thermal break technology with NFRC-rated energy performance, essential for a Fort Pierce entry that faces morning or afternoon sun.
• Installation standard: Installed by TruePane Windows & Doors to AAMA 2400/2410 and AAMA 812 specifications.

Because every VLX 100 is made to order, there is no “stock size” you have to compromise around. If your contractor cut a radius opening and the previous door never fit right, this is the fix.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency - The VLX 100 carries a thermal break inside the aluminum profile, which interrupts heat transfer between the exterior and interior faces. In Fort Pierce, where a west-facing entry bakes from 2 PM to sunset, that break is the difference between a door that radiates heat into your foyer and one that doesn’t. NFRC-rated energy performance means the numbers are tested, not marketing.

Acoustic Performance - Aluminum doors with laminated glass cut street noise measurably. If you live near US-1, Orange Avenue, or any of the busier corridors through Fort Pierce, the laminated option is worth the upgrade. You won’t eliminate traffic sound entirely, but you’ll knock it down enough to notice the quiet when the door closes.

Airtightness & Weather Seal - The VLX 100 uses compression gaskets around the full perimeter, and TruePane Windows & Doors seals every joint with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam. That’s the standard that prevents the slow air leaks that drive up cooling bills in Florida’s humid summers. A door that isn’t sealed properly will show you with condensation, drafts, and higher FPL bills.

Waterproofing - Arched doors fail at the top of the curve when water pools and seeps at the apex. The VLX 100’s continuous frame and our AAMA 812 perimeter seal keep water on the outside where it belongs. We also slope the sill assembly so driving rain from afternoon thunderstorms doesn’t find a way under the door.

Wind Resistance - The .098-inch wall thickness matters when a tropical storm pushes sideways against your entry. The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for local climate requirements, and the impact-resistant laminated glass option brings the door in line with the structural demands of St. Lucie County’s building code. Ask us about the laminated option if your entry is fully exposed or you want the added storm protection.

Security & Hardware - A front door is only as secure as its weakest point. The VLX 100 accepts multi-point locking hardware that anchors the slab to the frame at three points, not one. Combined with the heavier aluminum wall, that makes forced entry significantly harder than a typical residential door. We’ll spec the hardware with you at measurement.

Color & Glass Options

The VLX 100 ships in six finishes. Premium Black is the most requested finish in Fort Pierce right now, particularly on modern and contemporary builds where dark framing makes glass read as a void. Pure White suits Key West and coastal cottages, especially paired with a bright or pastel exterior. Anodized Silver is the utilitarian choice, an honest aluminum look that shrugs off salt air. Bronze reads warm and traditional, a solid pick for Mediterranean homes with tile roofs. Champagne is the underused option, a warmer metallic that works surprisingly well with beige stucco. Teak Wood is a woodgrain finish that gives you the look of timber without rot, termites, or annual re-sealing.

On the glass side: Clear maximizes natural light and is the default for covered entries. Frosted and Obscure give privacy for doors that face a busy street or a neighbor’s window. Low-E is the energy play, rejecting solar heat while staying visually clear. Tempered glass is required safety glass for any door lite and comes standard. Laminated glass adds impact resistance and noise reduction, and it’s the option we recommend for exposed Fort Pierce entries that face the water or open lots.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Fort Pierce

Here’s something the spec sheets don’t tell you: a great door installed badly is just an expensive air leak. The VLX 100 carries a manufacturer warranty from and that warranty depends on correct installation. If the door isn’t set level, plumb, and square, the slab binds, the gaskets don’t seat, the locks misalign, and the warranty is void. That’s why TruePane Windows & Doors installs every VLX 100 in Fort Pierce to AAMA 2400/2410, the recognized installation standard for window and door systems, and seals all perimeter joints with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam.

Our process starts before the door is even ordered. We measure the opening in three places, check the rough opening for square, and confirm the radius of your arch so ViewLux fabricates the door to reality, not to the blueprint your builder filed. After fabrication, we schedule a single-day install. The old door comes out, the rough opening gets flashed, the VLX 100 goes in, and we set it level, plumb, and square using laser levels. Perimeter foam goes in next, followed by exterior sealant and interior trim. We finish with a water test on the sill and a full hardware adjustment so the door closes with a single motion, no lift, no drag, no second push.

Fort Pierce throws specific challenges at an exterior door. Salt air from the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic accelerates corrosion on cheap hardware. Humidity swells wood frames and rots unsealed rough openings. Afternoon storms test every sill and seal. The VLX 100’s aluminum construction handles the salt and humidity, and our installation handles the water. We’ve installed arched entries from White City to Fort Pierce South, and the failure points we fix in old doors are almost always installation shortcuts, not product defects.

Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

What is the lead time for the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door? Since every VLX 100 is fabricated to your opening’s exact radius and dimensions, expect roughly 6 to 8 weeks from final measurement to arrival at our Fort Pierce shop. Custom finishes and laminated glass can add a week or two. The install itself takes one day in most cases. Call (772) 218-5890 and we can give you a firmer timeline based on current ViewLux production.

Does the VLX 100 qualify for energy tax credits? The VLX 100 with Low-E glass can qualify for available federal energy efficiency incentives, but qualification depends on the specific glass package, the door’s U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient, and your tax situation. We’ll provide the NFRC labels and documentation you need to check with your accountant. The thermal break in the profile is the key component that gets the performance numbers where they need to be.

What warranty comes with the Arched / Custom Door? ViewLux provides the manufacturer warranty on the VLX 100, and TruePane Windows & Doors backs our installation workmanship in writing. The manufacturer warranty covers the aluminum frame and finish, while glass package warranties vary by glass type. The critical detail is that the warranty is only valid when an authorized partner like TruePane installs the door. A handyman special voids it.

Can I customize the size? Yes, and that’s the entire point of the VLX 100. Every door is custom fabricated to order, so your opening’s exact height, width, and arc radius become the door. We measure in Fort Pierce, we send the numbers to and they CNC-bend the profile to match. True semicircular arches, elliptical curves, and modified arcs are all possible.

How do I maintain aluminum frames? Wash the frame with mild soap and water twice a year, more often if you’re within a few blocks of the ocean or the lagoon. Rinse thoroughly to avoid salt buildup at the bottom track. Keep the sill drainage channels clear of sand and debris. Check gaskets annually for compression. Anodized finishes need almost nothing; painted finishes should never be hit with abrasive cleaners. That’s the entire maintenance program.
