AfterVLX 100 Arched / Custom Door in Pompano Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
An arched entry door changes the way a home meets the street. It softens the hard lines of South Florida architecture and gives the front of a house a sense of arrival that flat rectangular doors simply can’t match. The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door is a CNC-bent aluminum arched entryway built to exact dimensions, fabricated per order. TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized ViewLux installation partner in Pompano Beach, FL, and we handle everything from your first measurement to the final water test. Call (863) 591-8673 to start your project.
Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
The VLX 100 series exists because standard door catalogs don’t cover every opening. Older Pompano Beach homes, Mediterranean-inspired builds, and custom remodels often have arched rough openings that force homeowners into expensive millwork or fiberglass shells that crack under Florida sun. This door is fabricated on CNC bending equipment from extruded aluminum, which means the curve is milled, not forced. The arc holds its shape because the metal is bent through a controlled process at the factory, not flexed on site.
We recommend the VLX 100 for anyone replacing a dated arched door, designing a new front entry, or trying to match an existing arch profile that other manufacturers refuse to touch. The frame and panel are custom fabricated to your exact radius, which matters more than people realize. A poorly matched arch looks off even when it functions fine. Precision in the curve is the difference between a door that looks like it belongs to the house and one that looks like an afterthought.
The engineering underneath is straightforward aluminum construction: a 0.098″ wall thickness on the profile, a 2.56″ frame width, and structural joinery built for daily use in a coastal climate. Aluminum doesn’t swell, rot, or warp when the humidity sits near 80 percent for six months straight. In Pompano Beach, where salt air works on every metal surface, that matters.
Technical Specifications
Here are the numbers for the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door as we order and install it through ViewLux:
- Profile wall thickness: 0.098 inches, extruded aluminum
- Frame profile width: 2.56 inches
- Maximum span: Custom fabricated to order, no fixed arc limit within engineering tolerance
- Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, Laminated
- Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, Teak Wood
- Thermal performance: Thermal break technology, NFRC-rated
- Installation standard: AAMA 2400/2410 compliance
- Perimeter sealing: AAMA 812 low-expansion foam on all joints
- Impact option: Laminated impact-resistant glass available for wind-borne debris zones
Every VLX 100 we order is fabricated to the dimensions we pull from your existing opening. We don’t trim product in the field to force a fit. If the rough opening is out of square, we correct it before the door goes in, not after.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency - The VLX 100 uses a thermal break inside the aluminum profile, which interrupts the transfer of heat from the exterior face of the frame to the interior. In Pompano Beach, that means less heat bleeding into your entryway during July and August. NFRC-rated performance data is available for the specific glass package you choose, so you’ll know the U-factor and SHGC before you commit.
Acoustic Performance - Arched doors near busy streets like Atlantic Boulevard or Dixie Highway pick up a lot of road noise if the glass isn’t right. Laminated glass options on the VLX 100 add a sound-dampening interlayer that cuts mid-frequency noise noticeably. It’s the same glass technology used in impact-rated windows, so you get quiet and wind protection in one package.
Airtightness & Weather Seal - A door that leaks air leaks money. The VLX 100 is installed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant around every perimeter joint, which fills the gaps between the frame and rough opening without bowing the aluminum. Combined with factory weatherstripping, the door sits snug in its opening instead of breathing with the wind.
Waterproofing - In South Florida, a door that fails the water test fails, period. The VLX 100 is installed with a full perimeter seal and sill integration that directs water down and away from the opening. We test every install with a hose before we call it done. The AAMA 2400/2410 installation standard we follow includes specific provisions for water management that cheap installs skip.
Wind Resistance - Pompano Beach sits in a High Velocity Hurricane Zone. The VLX 100 can be ordered with laminated impact glass that meets wind-load requirements for our local climate, and the aluminum frame is engineered to resist deflection under pressure. If you’re in a home built before current codes tightened, this door can bring your entryway up to modern wind standards.
Security & Hardware - An arched door is only as secure as its hardware. We order the VLX 100 with reinforced hinge points and hardware prep that accepts modern multi-point locksets. The aluminum frame doesn’t splinter or split like wood, so screws and strike plates hold their bite year after year. That structural density also resists kick-in attempts far better than hollow doors.
Color & Glass Options
ViewLux finishes the VLX 100 in six colors. Premium Black reads sharp and modern against white stucco or gray concrete, which covers a lot of newer Pompano Beach construction. Pure White blends with traditional Florida ranches and keeps the frame from visually shrinking the entry. Anodized Silver is the workhorse finish, raw aluminum with a natural metallic sheen that hides scratches better than painted coats. Bronze works on Mediterranean and Spanish Revival homes, pairing with clay tile roofs and iron fixtures. Champagne skews warmer and more contemporary, a softer metallic that suits transitional styles. Teak Wood gives you a wood look without the maintenance rot and termites bring to actual timber in South Florida.
Glass choice depends on what the door faces. Clear maximizes daylight but offers no privacy. Frosted and Obscure let light through while blocking sightlines, ideal for front doors near the street or walkways. Low-E adds a coating that reflects infrared heat, which keeps the entry cooler. Tempered glass shatters into small pieces instead of large shards, a safety consideration for impact zones. Laminated glass holds together when struck, which is the option we recommend for hurricane protection in Pompano Beach.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Pompano Beach
We’ve been installing high-end doors long enough to know that the product is only half the outcome. The other half is how it’s set. Our installation process for the VLX 100 starts with a pre-install inspection of your rough opening. We check for square, plumb, and flatness before any metal meets the house. If the opening is off, we fix it first, usually by shimming or, in worse cases, reframing. Squaring an arched opening takes more care than a rectangular one because the curve hides deviation.
Once the opening is confirmed, the VLX 100 goes in level, plumb, and square. We don’t accept “close enough” on arches because the reveal gap between door panel and frame will show every millimeter of error along the curve. The frame is secured, then the entire perimeter is sealed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant. This is a specific standard, not just spray foam from a big-box store. It fills voids without expanding aggressively enough to bow the aluminum frame. Our installs meet AAMA 2400/2410 standards, the installation guideline most manufacturers and warranty providers expect.
After the sealant cures, we run a water test across the door face and threshold. If water gets where it shouldn’t, we find it then, not during the first hurricane. Finally, we clean the job site and walk you through operation, care, and what to expect from the hardware over time.
One thing every homeowner in Pompano Beach should know: a poorly installed door voids the manufacturer warranty faster than anything else. Improper anchoring, missing perimeter seal, or an out-of-square set will cause binding, leaks, and eventual frame fatigue. That’s why TruePane Windows & Doors doesn’t subcontract installs to day labor. Our crew does it start to finish.
Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
Custom fabrication for an arched door typically runs 6 to 10 weeks from final measurement approval to delivery at our Pompano Beach shop. Because every unit is made to order, exact lead time depends on the glass package, finish, and current factory queue. We lock in an estimated delivery date when you sign. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll give you a current window.
It can, if you order it with Low-E glass that meets the current ENERGY STAR criteria for the South Florida zone. We’ll tell you exactly which glass packages qualify and provide the documentation at no extra charge, because energy rebates and credits should never be a mystery. Call (863) 591-8673 for a spec-by-spec review.
The VLX 100 carries the manufacturer warranty from ViewLux, which covers defects in materials and workmanship on the frame and glass. Labor coverage depends on the specific series and purchase agreement. The key is installation: an improperly installed door voids the frame warranty. Our work at TruePane Windows & Doors is done to AAMA standards, so the door is covered the way it should be. Call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll walk you through the exact terms for your configuration.
Yes. That’s the entire point of the VLX 100 series. The door is CNC-bent from aluminum to match your exact rough opening dimensions and arc radius. We measure in person, confirm the geometry with a template when needed, and order the door to match. You aren’t stuck sizing your opening to a catalog door. To start, we need a quick on-site measurement. Call (863) 591-8673.
Salt air and high humidity accelerate corrosion on any metal, so we recommend washing the frame with mild soap and water every few months, especially after storm season. Check the perimeter seal once a year for cracks or separation, and keep the track and hardware clean. Aluminum doesn’t need paint, but powder-coated finishes benefit from occasional waxing if you want to preserve the original sheen. If you notice anything off, call (863) 591-8673 and we’ll come look before it becomes a bigger problem.
