Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door starts with a single piece of aluminum, CNC-bent to a precise radius rather than pieced together from welded segments. That bent-arch construction eliminates the weak points and visual seams you’d see on lesser curved doors. The result is a smooth, continuous curve that carries real structural load without flexing or sagging over time.

We see this door chosen for three reasons in Boca Raton. First, it solves the design problem that flat doors can’t: grand entryways, arched loggias, and curved wall planes that need a door to follow the architecture rather than fight it. Second, the aluminum construction holds up to our salt air and hurricane-season humidity without the swelling, rotting, or warping that kills wood doors in South Florida. Third, the thermal break engineering means you don’t sacrifice energy performance for that dramatic silhouette.

The 0.098″ wall thickness and 2.56″ profile width give the frame rigidity without bulk. Sightline Windows & Doors Boca Raton fabricates each unit to your opening’s exact dimensions, whether that’s a modest 36″ single entry or a sweeping double-door span that anchors a waterfront estate in Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club. The maximum span is custom fabricated to order, so we’re not forcing your design into a stock size.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency

The VLX 100 uses a full thermal break that separates interior and exterior aluminum surfaces, cutting conductive heat transfer. NFRC-rated performance means the numbers are verified, not claimed. In Boca Raton’s cooling-dominated climate, that translates to less load on your HVAC and more stable indoor temperatures when the afternoon sun hits your entryway directly.

Acoustic Performance

Multi-chamber frame construction and dual-seal gasketing dampen exterior noise. For homes along A1A, near the airport corridor, or in busier sections of downtown Boca Raton, the laminated glass upgrade adds mass that knocks down traffic and aircraft sound. We specify the glass package to your specific noise environment.

Airtightness & Weather Seal

Compression seals at the frame perimeter and interlocking meeting stiles stop uncontrolled air leakage. The AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant we apply at installation fills every irregular gap between frame and rough opening. That matters in Boca Raton’s humid summers, where outside air infiltration drives moisture problems inside wall cavities.

Waterproofing

Sill pan integration, sloped subsills, and dual-stage drainage channels move water out before it reaches interior finishes. Our crews flash every opening to the water-resistive barrier. In a climate where afternoon thunderstorms dump inches in minutes, that drainage engineering protects your floors and subfloor from the leaks that destroy standard installations.

Wind Resistance

The VLX 100 frame is wind-load rated for local requirements, and the impact-resistant laminated glass option meets Miami-Dade and Broward standards for high-velocity hurricane zones. For Boca Raton homes in flood-prone areas or exposed coastal lots, we engineer the anchorage and glazing package to the specific wind speed exposure your site faces.

Security & Hardware

Multi-point locking hardware engages at the sill, center, and head of the door simultaneously. The 0.098″ wall thickness resists forced entry better than thinner residential frames. Tempered and laminated glass options add shatter resistance. We source hardware from established European and domestic manufacturers, not no-name imports that fail in salt air.

Color & Glass Options

Premium Black and Pure White dominate our Boca Raton installations - black for the sharp contrast against coral stone and stucco on contemporary homes, white for the clean, bright entries that complement coastal and Bermuda-style architecture. Anodized Silver reads as honest metal, a good match for homes with stainless railings or aluminum window walls already in place. Bronze and Champagne warm up traditional and transitional designs without the maintenance burden of actual bronze cladding. Teak Wood finish gives you the grain pattern and color of tropical hardwood with aluminum’s durability; we recommend it for HOA communities where natural wood is specified but the owner wants a 20-year solution instead of a 5-year refinishing cycle.

Glass selection depends on privacy, solar control, and safety priorities. Clear glass maximizes daylight and views. Frosted and Obscure options block sightlines for bathrooms, pool equipment rooms, or side entries facing neighbors. Low-E coatings cut solar heat gain, critical for west-facing doors in Boca Raton’s afternoon sun. Tempered glass is standard for safety. Laminated glass adds the impact resistance that hurricane codes require and the acoustic damping that busy locations need.

Installation by Sightline Windows & Doors Boca Raton in Boca Raton

Arched doors fail at the installation, not the factory. The VLX 100’s precision-bent frame arrives with tight tolerances, and any twist, rack, or out-of-plane condition during setting ruins both the operation and the seal. That’s why Sightline Windows & Doors Boca Raton sends crews who specialize in custom aluminum systems, not general carpenters learning on your job.

Our process starts with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. We verify width, height, radius, and squareness before the door leaves our shop. On site, we set the frame level, plumb, and square to within 1/16″ - non-negotiable for a door this precise. We anchor through the jamb with structural fasteners rated for the wind load your Boca Raton location requires, not generic screws that pull out under pressure.

Perimeter sealing follows AAMA 812: low-expansion foam sealant fills the gap between frame and rough opening, creating an airtight, waterproof bond that flexes with seasonal movement. We cap that with compatible backer rod and sealant at the exterior face. The full installation meets AAMA 2400/2410 standards for fenestration installation.

We finish with a water test - simulated rainfall sprayed at the exterior while we inspect interior seams. Then we clean the site, protect the finish, and walk you through the operation and locking hardware.

Here’s what homeowners in Boca Raton need to understand: ViewLux warranties the product, but improper installation voids that coverage. Using an unauthorized installer, skipping the thermal break continuity, or failing to flash the sill pan correctly leaves you with no recourse if the door leaks or operates poorly. Our authorized-partner status means your warranty stays intact and your door performs as engineered.

Boca Raton’s building code adopts the Florida Building Code with local amendments for wind-borne debris regions. We pull permits when required, coordinate inspections, and provide the product approvals and installation certificates your building department needs. For homes in the coastal A-zone or V-zone flood areas, we factor base flood elevation and opening protection requirements into both product selection and installation detail.

Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

What is the lead time for the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door?

Lead time is typically 8 to 12 weeks from final measurement and deposit, since each unit is CNC-bent and fabricated to your opening’s exact radius and dimensions. Complex multi-panel configurations or specialty glass may extend that slightly. Call (561) 200-8592 to check current production schedules and reserve your slot.

Does the VLX 100 qualify for energy tax credits?

The Low-E glass option paired with the thermal break frame meets the NFRC performance thresholds that federal energy tax credits require, though eligibility depends on the tax year and your total installation cost. We provide the NFRC labels and product certification documents your accountant needs to claim any available credits. For current Boca Raton utility rebate programs, call us and we’ll check what’s active.

What warranty comes with the Arched / Custom Door?

ViewLux backs the frame and finish with a limited lifetime warranty for residential applications, and the insulated glass unit carries a 20-year seal warranty. Hardware warranties vary by component manufacturer. Our installation workmanship is warranted for 5 years. All warranties require authorized installation - which is exactly what Sightline Windows & Doors Boca Raton provides as a ViewLux partner.

Can I customize the size?

Yes. The VLX 100 is custom fabricated to order with no standard maximum span. We measure your rough opening, confirm the architectural radius, and send those specs to the factory. Single entries, double doors, sidelite combinations, and transom integrations are all possible. Call (561) 200-8592 to schedule a measurement and discuss your design.

How do I maintain aluminum frames in Boca Raton’s climate?

Rinse the frames quarterly with fresh water to remove salt accumulation, especially if you’re within a mile of the Intracoastal or ocean. Wash annually with mild soap and a soft brush. Lubricate hinges and locking points with a silicone-based product yearly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pressure washers close to the frame. The anodized and powder-coat finishes we install resist chalking and fading, but salt left sitting will etch any metal over time.
