AfterVLX 80 Awning Window in Riviera Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
The VLX 80 Awning Window is a top-hinged aluminum window that opens outward from the bottom, giving you ventilation even during a Florida downpour. It’s built around a thermal break that cuts heat transfer through the frame, which matters in Riviera Beach where the sun works against your air conditioner most of the year. Homeowners choose this window for kitchens, bathrooms, and upper-story bedrooms where privacy and airflow both matter. TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized ViewLux installation partner in Riviera Beach, which means you get the factory product with a local crew that installs it right. Call (786) 829-6722 to talk through your project.
Product Overview - VLX 80 Awning Window
The VLX 80 is the window you spec when you want airflow without compromise. Because it hinges at the top and cranks outward, you can leave it open while it rains in Riviera Beach without water pouring onto your sill. The sash closes tight against the frame on all four sides, creating a compression seal that standard sliding windows simply don’t match.
Architecturally, this series fits where horizontal lines dominate. Think mid-century ranchers in Old Riviera, contemporary builds near the marina, or coastal-modern remodels along Singer Island. The narrow 1.97-inch profile keeps sightlines clean, so the window reads as glass and frame rather than a bulky aluminum box.
What separates the VLX 80 from budget awning windows is the engineering. The frame walls measure 0.079 inches thick, which is substantial enough to resist racking and warping over decades of Florida sun and salt exposure. Aluminum doesn’t rot, doesn’t swell, and doesn’t need repainting every few years the way wood does. For Riviera Beach homeowners tired of maintaining windows, that’s the entire pitch.
TruePane Windows & Doors carries this series because our install crews see what holds up locally. We’ve replaced enough corroded, leaking, builder-grade windows across Palm Beach County to know which products earn their place. The VLX 80 earns it.

Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency
The VLX 80’s thermal break separates the interior and exterior aluminum surfaces, interrupting the metal path that normally conducts heat straight into your home. In Riviera Beach’s climate, that translates to lower AC load and a frame that won’t sweat or feel hot to the touch on summer afternoons.
Acoustic Performance
The compression seal around all four sides of the sash dampens sound in ways sliding windows can’t. If you live near Blue Heron Boulevard, the marina, or anywhere with steady traffic, laminated glass adds another layer of noise reduction while also meeting impact requirements.
Airtightness & Weather Seal
Awning windows naturally seal tighter because wind pressure pushes the sash against the frame rather than away from it. Combined with proper perimeter sealing at installation, the VLX 80 keeps conditioned air inside where it belongs, a real advantage during Riviera Beach’s humid season.
Waterproofing
The top-hinged design means the window sheds water away from the opening. Rain hits the glass and runs down the outside face while the sill stays dry. TruePane Windows & Doors reinforces this with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam around every perimeter joint at install.
Wind Resistance
This window is wind-load rated for our local climate requirements. With laminated impact glass, the VLX 80 meets the building code expectations for coastal Palm Beach County, giving you a window that holds up whether it’s a summer squall or a named storm.
Security & Hardware
The awning operation limits the opening size, so it’s hard for anyone to reach through. Multi-point locking hardware pulls the sash tight at multiple contact points, and the crank mechanism means the window can’t be forced open from outside without breaking the glass.
Color & Glass Options
The VLX 80 comes in six finishes, and your choice sets the tone for the whole elevation. Pure White and Premium Black frame modern Riviera Beach homes cleanly, white for the coastal-bright aesthetic and black for contrast on stucco or light siding. Anodized Silver is the utilitarian classic, a natural fit for mid-century and contemporary architecture. Bronze and Champagne warm up traditional Florida homes without yellowing or fading the way painted wood does. Teak Wood gives you a wood-look finish with aluminum’s zero-maintenance reality.
On glass: Clear is the standard, straightforward option. Frosted works for bathrooms and street-facing windows where privacy matters. Low-E is the energy play, reflecting radiant heat before it enters the room. Tempered adds safety through a shatter-resistant break pattern. Laminated is the one we recommend most in Riviera Beach: it meets impact requirements, cuts noise, and blocks UV that fades furniture.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Riviera Beach
An awning window is only as good as its installation. A perfectly manufactured VLX 80 that’s set out of square or sealed incorrectly will leak, bind, and eventually fail, and the manufacturer warranty won’t cover installation errors. That’s the risk when you buy windows from a box store and hire whoever bids lowest.
Our installation process starts with a pre-install inspection. We check the rough opening for rot, water damage, or framing issues before we order anything. You don’t want a new window installed into a compromised opening. In Riviera Beach, where salt air and humidity work on wood framing year-round, this step catches problems early.
On install day, we set the window level, plumb, and square before anchoring anything. The flange is sealed to the opening with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam on all four perimeter joints. The entire installation follows AAMA 2400/2410 standards, which is the industry benchmark for proper window installation in Florida’s climate. After the window is set and sealed, we run a water test on the installation and clean up the work area before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 80 Awning Window
Most VLX 80 orders arrive from the manufacturer in 3 to 6 weeks depending on glass selection and finish color. Laminated glass and custom finishes like Teak Wood can add time to the order. The best approach is to schedule a measurement with TruePane Windows & Doors first, then we’ll give you an exact production timeline for your specific configuration. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll map out the full schedule.
It can, depending on the glass package you choose. The thermal break in the frame combined with Low-E glass can meet ENERGY STAR criteria for the South Florida climate zone, which is the benchmark most tax credit programs use. We’ll verify eligibility for your specific configuration during the quote. Call (786) 829-6722 for a free estimate and we’ll walk through the numbers.
The VLX 80 carries the manufacturer’s frame, glass, and hardware warranty through and TruePane Windows & Doors backs our installation work as well. Warranty coverage depends on proper installation, which is exactly why you want an authorized partner handling the job rather than a general contractor seeing this window for the first time. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll review the specifics.
Yes, each window is manufactured to your exact opening dimensions. That means no shimming, no oversized trim to hide gaps, and no compromise on the waterproofing perimeter. We measure every opening individually in Riviera Beach before ordering, so each window fits the way the engineering intended. Call (786) 829-6722 to schedule your free measurement.
Aluminum frames need less than you’d think. Rinse the frames with fresh water every few months to remove salt residue, especially if you’re within a mile of the ocean. Wipe the weatherstripping with a damp cloth and check the sealant at the frame perimeter annually. The factory finishes are designed for coastal exposure, so you won’t be refinishing them every few years. If you notice condensation between glass panes or the sash binding, call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll take a look.
