Product Overview - VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door

The VLX 100 is what you picture when you think of a proper French door: two door panels that swing open from the center, meeting in the middle with no fixed post between them. That center-meeting design gives you an opening up to 96 inches wide, which changes how a room breathes. Open both panels and the line between your living room and your lanai practically disappears.

What separates this door from standard builder-grade French doors is the aluminum frame. At 0.098 inches thick and 2.56 inches deep, the extrusion is engineered to carry large glass panels without bowing or sagging over time. We see this matter in Hollywood, where doors face daily sun, salt air, and the occasional tropical storm. The VLX 100 holds its shape because aluminum does not warp, twist, or swell the way wood does after a few humid summers.

The flush threshold is the detail our clients notice most. There’s no raised track to step over, no lip that catches a walker or a stroller. That makes it practical for aging-in-place remodels in Hollywood’s older ranch homes, and it keeps sightlines uninterrupted on new construction. The multi-point lock hardware engages at several points along the panel, not just one latch in the middle, so the door seals tight and locks the way a door should.

This series suits single-family homes in Emerald Hills, condo remodels along Hollywood Beach, and mid-century rehabs in Hollywood Lakes. If you want a door that reads as architecture rather than an afterthought, the VLX 100 earns its place on the wall. Call (863) 334-2933 to talk through whether this series matches your opening size.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency – The VLX 100 includes a thermal break within the aluminum frame, which interrupts the conductive path that would otherwise pull heat through the metal. That thermal break is part of why the door carries NFRC-rated energy performance figures. In Hollywood’s summer, the frame on the inside stays closer to room temperature instead of turning into a radiator.

Acoustic Performance – Aluminum frames hold glass firmly, and with laminated or double-pane glazing the VLX 100 reduces outdoor noise meaningfully. Homes on Hollywood Boulevard or near Dixie Highway benefit most. You won’t get recording-studio silence, but the difference between closed and open is dramatic.

Airtightness & Weather Seal – The multi-point lock doesn’t just secure the door; it compresses the weather stripping evenly along the full height of both panels. That compression matters in South Florida, where air leakage drives up cooling costs. A door that seals evenly at five points instead of one keeps conditioned air where you paid for it.

Waterproofing – The sill design on the VLX 100 channels water outward, and the perimeter seal we apply during installation adds a second defense. We use AAMA 812 low-expansion foam on every perimeter joint, which keeps the opening watertight without bowing the frame. In Hollywood’s afternoon downpours, that detail matters.

Wind Resistance – The VLX 100 can be specified with impact-resistant laminated glass and is wind-load rated for local climate requirements. For homes in Hollywood east of US-1, where wind exposure is highest, that rating is not optional paperwork. It’s the difference between a door that holds during a storm and one that becomes the opening the storm finds.

Security & Hardware – Multi-point locking hardware spreads the lock engagement across the panel height, so the door resists prying far better than a single deadbolt arrangement. The flush threshold eliminates the classic French door weak point at the bottom rail. If you’re replacing a single-panel door with this wider opening, you’re adding both daylight and security.

Color & Glass Options

The VLX 100 arrives in six finishes. Premium Black is the strongest seller in Hollywood right now, especially on white or light stucco homes in Hollywood Lakes, where the contrast reads as intentional. Pure White disappears into white walls and suits the clean, gallery-like interiors common in new Hollywood construction. Anodized Silver matches stainless and aluminum accents on mid-century homes and condos. Bronze reads warmer than black and pairs well with terracotta or cream exteriors. Champagne has a soft warmth that works on Mediterranean-style homes without the heaviness of bronze or black. Teak Wood is a wood-grain finish over aluminum, giving you the look of timber without the rot and termite risk that wood carries in South Florida humidity.

On glass, Clear maximizes view and light. Frosted and Obscure give privacy where neighbors sit close, common on Hollywood’s denser lots and beach condos. Low-E cuts solar heat gain and UV, which protects furniture and lowers cooling bills. Tempered glass is safety glass; if it breaks, it crumbles into pebbles instead of sharp shards, a building-code requirement on most door glass anyway. Laminated glass sandwiches a PVB layer between two panes and is the one to choose if you want impact resistance for storm season.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Hollywood

An aluminum French door is only as good as the opening it’s set into. We install the VLX 100 in Hollywood per AAMA 2400/2410, which is the recognized installation standard for windows and doors. The process starts with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. We check for water damage in the framing, confirm the opening is square and sized correctly, and verify the substrate can carry the door’s weight. If we find rot or framing problems behind the old door, we flag it before we proceed, because sealing a new door over failing framing is how you buy the same problem twice.

We set the door level, plumb, and square. Aluminum doors are unforgiving if racked even slightly, and a door that’s a quarter-inch out of square will fight you every time you close it. We use AAMA 812 low-expansion foam on all perimeter joints, which seals air and water without expanding hard enough to bow the frame. Then we flash the perimeter properly, install the threshold seal, and run a final water test before we call the job done. Cleanup happens the same day.

Installation quality is not a nicety; it is a warranty condition. ViewLux’s warranty covers manufacturing defects, but no manufacturer covers a door that leaked because it was installed wrong. When TruePane Windows & Doors installs the VLX 100 in Hollywood, the warranty chain stays intact because the installation spec matches what the manufacturer requires. For Hollywood specifically, we account for the salt-air corrosion factor near the Intracoastal and beachfront, which means choosing the right fasteners, sealants, and flashing for a coastal environment. Building codes in Broward County and Hollywood require wind-borne debris protection on many openings, and we make sure your spec complies with what the municipality enforces.
