AfterVLX 138 Panoramic Sliding Door in Hollywood, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
The VLX 138 Panoramic Sliding Door is ViewLux’s large-span luxury slider, engineered for homeowners in Hollywood, FL who want a wall of glass that opens without effort. This is the door you choose when a standard 6-foot patio slider feels cramped and you’re ready for spans up to 36 feet wide. TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized ViewLux installation partner serving Hollywood and all of South Broward, which means you get factory-backed product support and an install crew that sets, seals, and levels these heavy panels correctly. Call (863) 334-2933 to talk about your opening.
Product Overview - VLX 138 Panoramic Sliding Door
The VLX 138 exists for one reason: to erase the line between inside and out. The frame is substantial, with a 0.138-inch wall thickness across the profile, but it’s designed to hold very large glass panels without looking bulky. A 1.535-inch profile width keeps sightlines clean. Homeowners in Hollywood choose this series when they’re building or remodeling around a pool, a canal view, or a screened lanai that deserves more than a standard door.
What separates this from entry-level sliders is the roller system. Panels ride on stainless bearings, which means a 300-pound glass panel glides with two fingers. No lifting, no dragging, no yanking on a stuck track. That matters in Hollywood, where humidity and coastal air punish cheap hardware within a few seasons. The VLX 138 is built for the long haul.
Architecturally, this door fits modern builds with flat roofs and linear design language just as naturally as it fits a mid-century ranch in Hollywood Lakes or a new construction spec home in Emerald Hills. Multi-track configurations let you stack panels to one side or split them, so the opening works with your layout, not against it. If you’ve been looking at folding doors, this slider often costs less per linear foot and gives you more usable glass.

Every VLX 138 we order for Hollywood clients is cut to the exact rough opening. There are no stock sizes. This is a made-to-measure product, which is why the pre-install measurement step matters as much as the install itself.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency - The VLX 138 uses thermal break technology that separates the interior and exterior aluminum faces. This stops heat from conducting through the frame, which is critical in Hollywood’s summer months when a non-thermal aluminum frame becomes a radiator. Pair the thermal break with Low-E glass and your cooling load drops across the entire opening. The system carries NFRC-rated energy performance figures for the glass package you select.
Acoustic Performance - Living near Hollywood Boulevard, US-1, or the Turnpike means road noise is part of life. The VLX 138’s frame depth and laminated glass option cut exterior sound substantially. If you’re buying this door for a bedroom or home office wall, ask us about laminated acoustic glass packages. The difference between a standard double-pane unit and a laminated one is noticeable the moment the panels are set.
Airtightness & Weather Seal - Florida doors fail when air finds a way through. The VLX 138’s multi-point locking hardware pulls each panel tight against the weatherstripping, which compresses gaskets along the full perimeter. That compression is what gives the door its airtightness rating. It’s not just the seals that matter; it’s the engineering that keeps the seals engaged year-round as the aluminum expands and contracts.
Waterproofing - Deeper frame channels and integrated drainage paths route water out and away from the sill. During Hollywood’s afternoon thunderstorms, water that hits the glass drains through the sill body rather than pooling against the interior floor. The recessed sill option is especially good at this. TruePane’s install process includes a perimeter water test before we finish.
Wind Resistance - Hollywood sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and these panels are wind-load rated for local requirements. For clients who want true storm protection, laminated impact-resistant glass is available on the VLX 138. That option, combined with the heavy frame, means the door can stand up to the wind pressures Miami-Dade and Broward codes demand. Check your specific opening size with us; not every configuration qualifies for impact certification.
Security & Hardware - Multi-point locking hardware secures the panel at multiple points along the frame, not a single latch in the middle. The lock engages into reinforced strike points built into the track. The panels are heavy and the track is anodized, so forcing this door open quietly is not simple. Stainless bearings resist corrosion and keep the panel from binding even after years of salt air.
Color & Glass Options
The finish is baked onto the aluminum, not painted on. Premium Black and Pure White are the two most-ordered colors in Hollywood right now; black frames against white stucco on a new build look sharp. Anodized Silver reads more commercial but fits industrial and loft-style condos on the beach. Bronze disappears into darker facades, and Champagne is a warmer alternative to silver that works well with honey-toned flooring. Teak Wood is for homes with natural wood trim or a mid-century feel in neighborhoods like Hollywood Hills.
Glass selection matters as much as the frame. Clear glass gives maximum light, but Low-E is what most Hollywood homeowners want for the energy draw. Frosted and Obscure are for bathrooms, closets, or a primary suite wall panel. Black Tint and Gray Tint look dramatic and cut glare by significant margins in sun-facing rooms. We’ll show stained samples and help you match the right glass to the direction your opening faces.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Hollywood
After you order a VLX 138 through us, the job doesn’t get handed off to a third party. Our crew handles measurement, ordering, delivery, and install. That sequence protects your warranty and your schedule. Here’s what happens when we install the VLX 138 Panoramic Sliding Door in Hollywood.
We start with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. Structural framing, the lintel beam above the opening, and the subfloor or slab condition all get checked before we ever uncrate a panel. Setting a 36-foot slider on an out-of-level slab is a one-way ticket to a panel that binds and a warranty claim that gets denied.
Next, we set the frame level, plumb, and square. That’s not high-end performance; it’s the baseline. We shim the frame, then anchor it per AAMA 2400/2410 installation standards. Around the full perimeter, we use AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant on every joint. That foam matters more than most people realize; it’s what stops air and water from sneaking around the frame, under the sill, and into the wall cavity.
After the panels are hung and the glass is set, we run a water test on the sill and perimeter. If water finds a path, we find it before you do and fix it before we leave. Then we adjust the rollers, align the locking hardware, and clean the track and panels. The space is left broom-clean and the door is ready to use that day.
Improper installation voids the manufacturer’s warranty. This is a door that can weigh hundreds of pounds per panel and spans further than most garage doors. The least expensive install quote you get in Hollywood is often the most expensive door you’ll ever own. TruePane Windows & Doors handles VLX 138 installs from start to finish, and we stand behind the work.
Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 138 Panoramic Sliding Door
Most VLX 138 orders from ViewLux arrive at our Hollywood shop in 4 to 8 weeks, depending on glass type, impact certification, and current factory load. Custom finishes like Champagne or Teak Wood add a little time. We’ll give you a delivery window in writing when you order, and our install gets scheduled the week your door arrives. Call (863) 334-2933 to get a current lead time estimate for your opening.
Whether the VLX 138 qualifies depends on the glass package you select. Low-E packages with NFRC-rated U-factor and SHGC values that meet current federal thresholds can qualify for the energy-efficient home improvement credit. We’ll provide the NFRC sticker data for your exact configuration. Most Hollywood homeowners buying this door pair it with Low-E glass anyway, so the credit is often a bonus. Call (863) 334-2933 with your opening size and we’ll break down which glass packages meet current thresholds.
ViewLux covers the VLX 138 frame, hardware, and glass under their factory warranty, and that warranty remains valid when installation is performed by an authorized partner like TruePane Windows & Doors. Our workmanship is also covered by our own labor warranty on the install. The biggest warranty risk is a bad installation, not a bad door. We set, seal, and square every panel to AAMA standards so the factory coverage stays intact. Call (863) 334-2933 for the exact warranty terms for your configuration.
Yes. Each VLX 138 is built to the exact dimensions of your rough opening, up to 36 feet wide. Panel count, panel width, track configuration (2, 3, or 4-track), and sill type are all selected per project. That means you can put this door on a 10-foot condo opening or a full 30-foot waterfront wall and get the same engineering. We measure in Hollywood, verify against your plans, and order from the factory. Call (863) 334-2933 to schedule a measurement appointment at your home.
Rinse the tracks and frame with fresh water every couple of months to clear salt and sand, and clean the track with a soft brush and mild soap. Don’t use abrasive cleaners on anodized finishes; they scratch the surface coating. Check the rollers and strike plates once a season. Our Hollywood customers near the Intracoastal see the most corrosion on cheap hardware; the VLX 138’s stainless bearings handle it with minimal attention. If you notice a panel getting stiff, call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll send someone out to adjust it before it becomes a problem.
