AfterVLX 100 Arched / Custom Door in Riviera Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
An arched entry door changes how a home meets the street. The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door is a CNC-bent aluminum system built to hold a true radius curve without distortion, warping, or seal failure. It’s the door Riviera Beach homeowners and architects spec when the entryway has to be the focal point. TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized installation partner for ViewLux, and we install this series throughout Riviera Beach, Singer Island, and the surrounding coastal neighborhoods. Call (786) 829-6722 to talk through your arch dimensions and get a free project estimate.
Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
The VLX 100 is engineered for curves. The frame starts as a straight aluminum extrusion, then goes through CNC bending to match your exact arch radius, whether it’s a gentle eyebrow curve or a full half-round. That’s a different process than what most door manufacturers offer. Many arched doors are built by piecing sections together, which creates visible seams and weak points at the joints. The VLX 100 avoids that with a continuous bent frame, so the reveal lines stay consistent and the door operates as smoothly as a rectangular unit.
We see this door specified in three situations most often in Riviera Beach. The first is new construction where the architect drew an arched opening and the builder needs a door that will actually seal and hold a finish for decades. The second is a remodel where a homeowner is replacing an old wood arched door that’s been swelling in the humidity, and they want the same look without the maintenance. The third is a custom home on the water where the entry has to make a statement and survive salt air at the same time.
The 0.098″ wall thickness on the frame gives the extrusion enough structural mass to hold its shape after bending. The 2.56″ profile width creates a substantial sightline that reads as modern without going industrial. And because every unit is fabricated to order, you’re not constrained to stock arch templates. You give us the opening, we give you a door built to it.

Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll walk you through the specification process in about fifteen minutes.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency - The VLX 100 uses a polyamide thermal break that separates the interior and exterior aluminum faces. That break is what keeps the inside face of the frame from conducting outdoor heat into your entryway. In Riviera Beach, where the summer sun bakes west-facing doors from noon to sunset, an NFRC-rated thermal break is the difference between a door that fights your AC and one that supports it. Low-E glass coatings stack on top for additional solar control.
Acoustic Performance - Arched doors are often the largest glass surface on the front elevation, and glass transmits sound. The VLX 100 accepts laminated glass, which uses an interlayer that measurably dampens noise transmission. If your home sits near US-1, the Blue Heron Boulevard corridor, or any of the busier stretches of Riviera Beach, laminated glass in your arch door is worth the upgrade. The frame’s tight air seal also closes the gaps where sound sneaks through.
Airtightness & Weather Seal - Air leakage is where most arched doors fail. Because the frame is bent rather than sectioned, the weatherstripping channel follows one continuous path around the entire perimeter. There are no corner joints for air to slip past. During installation, we seal every perimeter joint with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam per ViewLux’s written installation requirements. That foam fills the void between the frame and the rough opening without exerting pressure that could distort the frame.
Waterproofing - Coastal Florida gets real wind-driven rain. A door that leaks during a summer squall is a door that fails in Riviera Beach. The VLX 100’s continuous frame bends eliminate the miter joints where water typically finds its way in. Our crew follows the AAMA 2400/2410 installation standard, which includes proper sill pan flashing, back-damming at the threshold, and weep system verification. We also run a water test on every install before we call the job done.
Wind Resistance - Riviera Beach sits in Miami-Dade and Broward-adjacent wind zones, and the Florida Building Code does not make exceptions for decorative doors. The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for our region, and the impact-rated laminated glass option brings the entire assembly up to coastal code requirements if your project requires it. The 0.098″ wall thickness and 2.56″ profile width give the frame the stiffness to hold its shape under negative pressure loads.
Security & Hardware - An entry door is only as secure as its weakest point, and on arched doors, the weak point is usually the active leaf hardware. The VLX 100 accepts multi-point locking hardware that engages at three points along the frame, not just a single latch at the handle. Paired with laminated glass, the door becomes a genuine barrier rather than a visual one. We’ll spec locking hardware based on your swing direction and arch geometry.
Color & Glass Options
The six finish options cover the full range of what we see requested in Riviera Beach. Premium Black is the strongest seller right now, especially on modern and transitional homes where the door needs to read as a crisp architectural element against a light stucco or concrete facade. Pure White suits coastal contemporary homes and pairs cleanly with white window packages. Anodized Silver has that raw aluminum look that works on mid-century designs and commercial-style residential builds.
Bronze and Champagne are warmer metallics. Bronze works on traditional homes, Spanish-influenced elevations, and anything with darker trim. Champagne is softer, and we’ve spec’d it on several waterfront homes where the door picks up the warm tones of natural stone or travertine. Teak Wood is a wood-grain powder coat finish that gives you the look of a timber door with none of the rot, warp, or termite exposure in our humidity.
On glass, Clear gives you maximum light transmission and an unobstructed view. Frosted and Obscure provide privacy while still letting daylight through, useful if your entry faces the street or a neighbor’s sightline. Low-E is the energy play. Tempered is safety glass that shatters into small pieces rather than large shards. Laminated is the impact and acoustic option, and it’s the one we recommend for most Riviera Beach installs.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Riviera Beach
A well-fabricated door installed poorly is still a leaky door. The manufacturer’s warranty on the VLX 100 is contingent on installation meeting specific standards, and that’s where TruePane Windows & Doors comes in. We are an authorized installation partner for ViewLux, which means our crews have been trained on the exact methods required for this product family.
The process starts with a pre-install inspection. We measure the rough opening in three places for width, three for height, and check the diagonals to confirm the opening is square. If the opening is off, we flag it before the door shows up, not after. We don’t bend a frame to fit a bad opening, and we don’t shim a $6,000 arch door into a trapezoid and call it level.
On install day, the door gets set level, plumb, and square, which on an arched unit requires patience because there’s no top rail to reference. We pack the frame at the hinge and lock points, then run AAMA 812 low-expansion foam around the full perimeter. That foam seals the gap, insulates the void, and won’t bow the frame as it cures. Then we flash the sill pan, verify the weep system, secure the trim, and water-test the assembly. Cleanup happens before we leave, and we walk through the door’s operation with you so you know how the hardware should feel. Riviera Beach’s salt air and storm exposure mean the perimeter seal is not optional, and building code here treats doors and windows as part of the structural envelope, so proper flashing matters for more than just comfort.
Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
Since every VLX 100 is fabricated to order based on your shop drawings, typical lead time runs four to eight weeks from drawing approval to delivery in Riviera Beach. The variables are the complexity of the arch radius, the glass type, and the finish. We recommend starting the conversation at least six weeks before you want the door in. Call (786) 829-6722 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific opening.
Because the VLX 100 uses NFRC-rated thermal break technology and can be glazed with Low-E glass, it may qualify for federal energy efficiency incentives if the door meets the current U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient requirements for our climate zone. Your eligibility depends on the specific glass package you choose. We can provide the NFRC performance data for your configuration so your tax professional can verify qualification.
The VLX 100 carries ViewLux’s manufacturer warranty on the frame, finish, and glass. The warranty specifically requires installation by a trained professional following AAMA 2400/2410 standards. TruePane Windows & Doors installs to those standards, which keeps your warranty intact. We also stand behind our installation workmanship separately, so if something we did fails, we fix it. Call (786) 829-6722 for warranty details specific to your order.
Yes. The VLX 100 is not built from stock templates. You provide the opening dimensions and the arch radius, and ViewLux fabricates the frame to match. There is practical engineering guidance on minimum and maximum spans that we review with you during the quoting process, but within those bounds, the door is built to your house, not the other way around. That’s the biggest difference between this product and an off-the-shelf arched door.
Coastal salt air is hard on finishes, so we tell our Riviera Beach clients to rinse the frame and glass with fresh water every two to three months, especially if the door faces the Intracoastal or the ocean. Mild dish soap on a soft cloth handles buildup. Avoid abrasive cleaners and pressure washers, which can damage the powder coat finish. The weatherstripping and weep holes should be checked annually, and we’re happy to do that as part of a service visit. A five-minute rinse every few months will keep a powder-coated aluminum door looking new for twenty years.
