Product Overview – VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

Most door manufacturers avoid arches. They’re hard to fabricate, harder to install, and even harder to get right. ViewLux built the VLX 100 around that challenge. Every arched unit starts as a straight aluminum extrusion that gets precision-bent on CNC equipment to match your exact radius, whether that’s a gentle eyebrow curve or a full half-round. The result is a curved architectural statement with structural precision, not a wood frame that someone steamed and hoped would hold its shape.

The frame carries a 0.098″ wall thickness and a 2.56″ profile width. Those numbers matter in Orlando. Thin aluminum flexes under wind load and transfers heat like a frying pan. The VLX 100’s heavier wall and deeper profile resist deflection, hold the glass securely, and give the door real presence in the opening. Buyers choose this series when they want a front entry that reads as architecture, not just a door slab.

Because ViewLux fabricates each unit to order, you’re not limited to stock arch templates. Hale Windows Orlando has measured and installed VLX 100 arched doors for homes across Orlando, from Lake Nona estates to Dr. Phillips lakefronts, and we’ve seen how the custom fabrication process lets homeowners match existing openings, replicate historical arch profiles, or design something entirely new for a modern build. If you can draw the curve, ViewLux can bend it.

One thing we want to be clear about: “custom fabricated to order” means your arch isn’t pulled from a warehouse shelf and forced into your rough opening. It’s built to the measurements we take on site, so the reveal lines are consistent and the door sits square.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency. The VLX 100 uses a thermal break inside the aluminum frame, which stops heat from conducting straight through the metal into your Orlando home. Combined with Low-E glass, this door keeps your entryway cooler and reduces strain on your AC during July and August.

Acoustic Performance. If you live near I-4, Colonial Drive, or any of Orlando’s busier corridors, you know road noise is constant. The VLX 100’s solid aluminum construction and laminated glass option cut down exterior sound meaningfully, giving your entry hall a quieter feel.

Airtightness & Weather Seal. Every perimeter joint gets sealed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, which fills gaps without distorting the frame. That means fewer drafts, less dust infiltration, and a tighter building envelope. For an arched door, where gaps are harder to seal than a square frame, this step is non-negotiable.

Waterproofing. Orlando gets about 51 inches of rain a year. The VLX 100 is built to shed water, not absorb it. Aluminum doesn’t rot, swell, or wick moisture the way wood does, and the perimeter sealing system we install prevents water from finding its way behind the frame.

Wind Resistance. Central Florida sits in a high-velocity wind zone, and the VLX 100 is wind-load rated for local climate requirements. For homes in Orange County that need impact protection, choose the laminated glass option and you have a door that meets hurricane code while keeping the arched aesthetic.

Security & Hardware. The 0.098″ wall thickness gives the frame real structural integrity. This isn’t a screen door. Combined with multi-point locking hardware and laminated glass if you choose it, the VLX 100 provides a strong physical barrier at your home’s most important entry point.

Color & Glass Options

Six finish options cover most Orlando architectural styles. Premium Black is our most-requested finish right now, especially on modern and contemporary builds in Winter Park and Lake Nona. Pure White suits coastal and farmhouse styles. Anodized Silver gives a clean, bright commercial-grade look. Bronze reads traditional and warm, pairing well with brick or stucco. Champagne is a soft, warm metallic that works beautifully on Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes, which are everywhere in Orlando. Teak Wood lets you keep the look of a wood entry door without the maintenance – important when Orlando’s humidity and afternoon thunderstorms punish real wood year-round.

Glass selection depends on what you need the door to do. Clear glass maximizes natural light. Frosted gives privacy while keeping the space bright. Obscure does the same with more texture. Low-E is the energy play, reflecting heat while letting light pass. Tempered glass is standard for safety – it breaks into small, dull pieces instead of sharp shards. Laminated glass is your impact-rated option, with a sturdy interlayer that holds the glass together under impact and meets Florida’s hurricane protection requirements.

Installation by Hale Windows Orlando in Orlando

Here’s the thing about arched doors: the install is where they succeed or fail. A perfectly fabricated arch installed out of square will bind, leak, and fail prematurely. An improperly sealed arch will let water into your wall cavity where you won’t see it until the damage is done.

Hale Windows Orlando installs every VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door to AAMA 2400/2410 installation standards. Our process starts with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. We check the framing, confirm the measurements against our order, and identify any water intrusion issues before the door goes in. Then we set the frame level, plumb, and square – no shimming shortcuts, no “good enough.” The perimeter gets sealed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam on every joint, which creates an airtight, waterproof seal without applying pressure that could bow the frame. We finish with a water test to confirm the seal is doing its job, then walk you through the operation, hardware, and glass.

Improper installation voids the manufacturer warranty. That’s not a scare tactic, it’s just how ViewLux and every other serious manufacturer operates. They stand behind their product when qualified installers do the work. Hale Windows Orlando is an authorized ViewLux installation partner, which means we install to their spec and your warranty stays intact. We also understand Orlando-specific realities: afternoon downpours, high humidity, UV exposure, and the wind-load requirements that come with building in Central Florida. The door gets ordered right, installed right, and sealed right.

Frequently Asked Questions – VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

What is the lead time for the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door? Lead time typically runs 4 to 8 weeks from final measurements to delivery, because each arch is fabricated to order in the ViewLux facility. If you’re building or remodeling on a schedule, we recommend locking in measurements early in the project. Call (850) 613-9382 and we’ll give you a current production timeline.

Does the VLX 100 qualify for energy tax credits? It can, depending on the glass package you choose. Low-E glass with the thermal break frame may qualify under current federal energy efficiency incentives. We can’t promise a specific credit amount, but we can provide the NFRC performance data your accountant will need. Call (850) 613-9382 and we’ll walk you through the glass options that carry the best energy performance.

What warranty comes with the Arched / Custom Door? The VLX 100 carries a manufacturer warranty from ViewLux that covers the frame and fabrication, with the length varying by finish and component. The warranty only stays valid when the door is installed by an authorized partner like Hale Windows Orlando, per AAMA 2400/2410 standards. We’ll give you the full warranty documentation before you sign anything.

Can I customize the size? Yes. The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door is custom fabricated to order, so we measure your opening and the door is built to those dimensions. That includes arch radius, width, height, swing direction, glass, finish, and hardware configuration. If you have an unusual opening or a historic home in Orlando with non-standard dimensions, this is the product line that works.

How do I maintain aluminum frames? Wash the frame with mild soap and water a few times a year, especially after pollen season and summer storm dust. Check the weatherstripping annually. Aluminum doesn’t rot or need painting, but keeping the drainage paths clear helps the door shed water the way it’s designed to. If you notice any seal wear, call us before it becomes a leak.
