AfterVLX 100 Arched / Custom Door in Hollywood, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
An arched entry door changes the way a house meets the street. The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door from ViewLux is a CNC-bent aluminum system built to hold a true radius curve without the sag, warp, or seal failure that plagues lesser arched doors. TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized ViewLux installation partner serving Hollywood, FL, which means you get factory-spec product knowledge and installation that keeps the warranty intact. If you’re planning a curved entryway in Hollywood Lakes, Emerald Hills, or anywhere across Broward County, call us at (863) 334-2933 and we’ll walk you through options, lead times, and a free on-site measurement.
Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door exists for one reason: most door manufacturers avoid curves because curves are hard. ViewLux didn’t avoid it. They engineered a process where aluminum extrusion is CNC-bent to your exact radius, then fitted with glass that follows the arc. The result is a curved architectural statement with structural precision, not a bent frame that sort of looks right until the first summer storm.
This door fits where standard rectangular doors feel wrong. Think Mediterranean revival homes in Hollywood Lakes with arched porch openings, mid-century builds in Emerald Hills where a radius entry reads as intentional design, and new coastal-modern construction where a curved glass front door becomes the focal point of the facade. Buyers choose the VLX 100 when they want something custom without the custom price tag of a true one-off fabrication. Because the bending process is CNC-controlled, each unit is repeatable, measurable, and verifiable before it ever ships to our Hollywood installation crew.
The frame is built from 0.098″ wall aluminum with a 2.56″ profile width. That’s a substantial extrusion for a door system, and it matters more on a curve than on a straight run. Arched frames carry load unevenly, and thin-walled profiles will flex at the crown. The VLX 100 holds its shape because the material was specified for the geometry, not adapted to it. When we install these doors in Hollywood, FL, we know the frame will stay true in the opening, which means the weather seals keep doing their job year after year.
Technical Specifications
Here’s what you’re working with on the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door, in practical terms:
| Specification | VLX 100 Detail |
|---|---|
| Frame wall thickness | 0.098″ aluminum extrusion |
| Profile width | 2.56″ |
| Maximum span | Custom fabricated to order - no stock size limitation |
| Glass options | Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, Laminated |
| Finish options | Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, Teak Wood |

Every VLX 100 door we order for our Hollywood, FL customers is fabricated to the measurement we take on site. There’s no cutting corners to fit a stock size, because there is no stock size. Your opening determines the radius, the leg height, and the glass configuration.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency - The VLX 100 uses thermal break technology that separates the interior and exterior aluminum faces. In Hollywood, FL, that means the metal frame won’t conduct afternoon heat into your entryway the way non-broken aluminum does. NFRC-rated energy performance gives you real numbers to compare against other door systems, and Low-E glass options reduce solar heat gain without darkening the glass.
Acoustic Performance - If you live near US-1, Federal Highway, or any of the busier corridors in Hollywood, you know traffic noise doesn’t stop at the front door. The VLX 100’s multi-chamber extrusion design combined with laminated glass significantly reduces exterior sound transmission. Our Hollywood customers who have upgraded from single-pane doors notice the difference the first night.
Airtightness & Weather Seal - Every perimeter joint on a VLX 100 installation done by TruePane Windows & Doors gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant. This is the standard that separates a door that seals from a door that leaks air around the edges. The foam fills the gap between frame and rough opening, eliminating drafts and keeping conditioned air where it belongs.
Waterproofing - Hollywood gets roughly 60 inches of rain a year, much of it in dramatic afternoon downpours. The VLX 100 is engineered with integrated drainage channels that move water out of the frame rather than trapping it. Combined with our AAMA 2400/2410 installation protocol, which includes sill flashing and perimeter sealing, water stays outside where it belongs.
Wind Resistance - South Florida building codes exist for a reason. The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for local climate requirements, and when you choose impact-resistant laminated glass, you’re also getting a door that can take a direct hit from wind-borne debris without shattering into your entryway. That’s hurricane-season peace of mind for Hollywood homeowners.
Security & Hardware - The 0.098″ wall thickness on the VLX 100 frame isn’t just about rigidity. It’s also about door strength. Multi-point locking hardware can be specified, and the solid aluminum construction resists prying and forced entry in a way hollow vinyl or thin steel frames simply can’t match.
Color & Glass Options
The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door comes in six finishes, and there’s a right answer for almost every home style in Hollywood, FL.
Premium Black is the current favorite for modern and transitional homes. It reads crisp against white stucco and pairs beautifully with black window frames. Pure White suits the classic Florida look, especially on Spanish-style and coastal homes where the door should blend with the facade rather than contrast it. Anodized Silver is the most industrial, giving a raw aluminum presence that works on contemporary designs. Bronze warms up a brick or earth-toned exterior. Champagne is the unexpected choice, and on the right Hollywood Hills home, it’s stunning. Teak Wood is a woodgrain-look finish that delivers the warmth of a timber door with none of the rot, termite, or warping issues that make real wood a tough sell in South Florida humidity.
Glass selection matters as much as the frame. Clear glass maximizes light transfer, but if your entry faces west, you’ll feel the afternoon heat. Low-E cuts solar heat gain while staying mostly transparent. Frosted and Obscure glass give you privacy without curtains, ideal for front doors where you don’t want strangers seeing straight through to your living room. Tempered glass is safety-rated for impact, and Laminated glass is the impact-resistant option that meets Florida building code requirements for wind-borne debris regions.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Hollywood
Here’s the honest truth about an arched aluminum door: the product can be excellent, and it still won’t perform if the installation is mediocre. Arched openings are harder to set than rectangular ones. The rough opening has to be exactly right, and the door has to be shimmed and anchored so stress distributes evenly through the arch. If an installer forces a curved frame into an opening that’s slightly off, the seals will fail within a season or two, and the manufacturer will not cover it under warranty.
TruePane Windows & Doors installs every VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door in Hollywood, FL to AAMA 2400/2410 installation standards. That’s not a marketing phrase; it’s a specific protocol. We start with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening, checking dimensions at the spring line and the crown, verifying the header and side jambs are structurally sound. We set the frame level, plumb, and square, which on a curved door requires patience and precision that most crews won’t invest. The perimeter gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam at every joint, expanding to fill gaps without bowing the frame. We flash the sill correctly for South Florida’s wind-driven rain patterns, install per manufacturer specifications, perform a final water test, and clean up the work area before we leave.
Improper installation voids the manufacturer warranty. We’ve been called to re-hang arched doors in Hollywood where the original installer skipped the foam, skipped the flashing, or set the door out of square and called it good. By then, the finish is scratched, the seals are damaged, and the homeowner is paying twice for the same door. The first time is the only time you want to do this job. Our Hollywood crews know the local code requirements, including wind-load provisions and impact glass rules in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and we make sure your door passes inspection the first time.
Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
Lead time on the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door typically runs 6 to 10 weeks from final measurement to delivery, because each unit is CNC-fabricated to your specific opening. That’s not a stock door that ships from a warehouse. After we measure your opening in Hollywood, FL, the radius, height, glass, and finish all go into fabrication. Call (863) 334-2933 to get a current lead time estimate for your project.
It depends on the glass package and the current federal and local incentive programs. The VLX 100 with Low-E glass and thermally broken framing carries NFRC ratings that may qualify under certain efficiency requirements. We can provide the specific performance data for your configuration when you call (863) 334-2933, and your tax professional can confirm eligibility.
Warranty coverage comes from ViewLux through TruePane Windows & Doors as an authorized installation partner. The warranty covers manufacturer defects in materials and workmanship, and it stays valid only when installation is performed to the required standards. That’s a major reason to use an authorized installer like our Hollywood team, not a general contractor who’s never hung a curved aluminum door. Call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll go over the specific warranty terms for the VLX 100.
Yes, that’s the core of what this product is. The VLX 100 is fabricated to order, meaning your radius, overall width, overall height, and leg height are all custom. There’s no “standard size” that we try to make work in your Hollywood home. We measure your actual opening, or design the opening with your architect if it’s new construction bends the aluminum to match those dimensions exactly.
Aluminum frames on the VLX 100 need very little maintenance beyond regular cleaning. Salt air near Hollywood Beach can build up on any metal surface, so we recommend washing the frame with mild soap and water every few months, paying attention to the sill track and drainage channels. The powder-coated and anodized finishes resist corrosion without painting or sealing. If you notice any wear on weatherstripping or seals, call us at (863) 334-2933 and we’ll replace parts before they become a problem.
