Product Overview – VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

Most “arched” doors on the market are rectangular frames with a curved insert tacked on top. The VLX 100 is different. ViewLux fabricates this series by CNC-bending the aluminum profile itself, so the arch is continuous through the frame. The radius, the rise, the spring line, they’re all cut and bent to your numbers, not selected from a catalog of pre-set curves. That matters in Orlando, where architectural styles range from Mediterranean Revival in Winter Park to clean-lined contemporary builds in Lake Nona. A true arched entry pulls the whole facade together.

The frame carries a 2.56-inch profile width and 0.098-inch wall thickness. In plain terms: it’s substantial enough to hold a large glass curve without flexing, but slim enough to keep sightlines elegant. The threshold is engineered for Florida’s daily rain cycles and the occasional tropical system. We regularly install the VLX 100 in both single-door and paired configurations, including arched transom combinations that wash natural light into Orlando entryways. This is a door for someone who wants the entry to be the first thing people remember about the house.

Technical Specifications

Here’s what the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door brings to the table, in plain numbers you can compare against anything else on the market in Orlando:

• Frame profile width: 2.56 inches, sized to suit arched geometry without looking bulky
• Wall thickness: 0.098 inches, a heavy-gauge aluminum extrusion that resists racking and keeps the arch dimensionally stable over decades
• Maximum span: Custom fabricated to order, so the arch span is dictated by your opening and engineering, not by a product matrix
• Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, and Laminated (impact-rated laminated available for wind-borne debris zones)
• Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, and Teak Wood
• Thermal performance: NFRC-rated with thermal break technology in the aluminum framing
• Installation standard: Juniper Windows Orlando installs to AAMA 2400/2410 compliance, with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant at every perimeter joint

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency – Aluminum is a great structural material and a lousy insulator on its own. The VLX 100 addresses this with a thermal break built into the extrusion, which interrupts heat transfer between the outside and inside of the frame. In Orlando’s summer, that means less conducted heat entering your foyer and lower cooling load at the front of the house. NFRC-rated performance gives you real numbers.

Acoustic Performance – If you live near Semoran Boulevard, I-4, or the flight paths into Orlando International, you know that sound control is not a luxury. The VLX 100, when paired with laminated glass, cuts exterior noise meaningfully at the entry point. Even with standard glass, the continuous perimeter seal we install keeps the door from being an acoustical weak spot.

Airtightness & Weather Seal – The door is only as good as the gap around it. We set every VLX 100 door with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant applied to all perimeter joints, then mechanically fasten the frame per AAMA 2400/2410. The result is an entry that doesn’t whistle during an Orlando afternoon thunderstorm and doesn’t leak conditioned air into your front yard.

Waterproofing – Florida gets roughly 50 inches of rain per year, and a lot of it arrives sideways. The VLX 100 sill design channels water away from the interior, and our installation process includes a final water test before we call the job done. No bucket test, no sign-off. That’s how a door in Orlando should be installed.

Wind Resistance – Central Florida’s building code has wind-load requirements for a reason. The heavy-gauge aluminum extrusion in the VLX 100, combined with impact-rated laminated glass where required, gives you a door that’s engineered for the loads your specific Orlando property faces. We verify the wind-zone requirements per your address, not per a generic chart.

Security & Hardware – The 0.098-inch wall thickness in the profile means the frame accepts multipoint locking hardware without deformation. Tempered or laminated glass options further harden the entry. A front door is the first line of defense, and this one is built like it matters.

Color & Glass Options

The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door comes in six finishes, and the right choice depends on your Orlando home’s architectural language. Premium Black is our most requested finish for modern builds in Lake Nona and Winter Garden, where dark-framed entries anchor light-colored facades. Pure White suits the coastal-inspired homes you see in Delaney Park and Thornton Park. Anodized Silver is a classic that reads as original equipment on mid-century houses. Bronze and Champagne both work beautifully on Mediterranean or Spanish Revival homes throughout Orlando’s older neighborhoods. Teak Wood is the wildcard, a wood-grain finish on aluminum that gives you the warmth of timber without the rot, termite, or refinishing issues wood presents in Florida humidity.

Glass selection is equally important. Clear maximizes light. Frosted gives you privacy at the entry without blocking daylight. Obscure trades more visibility for more seclusion. Low-E cuts solar heat gain, which matters when your front door faces west in Orlando. Tempered is safety glass that crumbles rather than shatters. Laminated, especially impact-rated laminated, is what we recommend for wind-borne debris protection and real security.

Installation by Juniper Windows Orlando in Orlando

We’re going to be direct: an arched aluminum door is only as good as the crew that installs it. A custom-fabricated arch that’s set a quarter-inch out of level will bind, leak, or both. That’s why Juniper Windows Orlando runs every VLX 100 installation through a defined process that starts before we touch the opening.

First, we inspect the rough opening and the existing structure. We measure the actual opening, not just the blueprint numbers, because Orlando homes shift over time. We check for moisture in the surrounding framing, verify the sill substrate, and confirm the arch radius at multiple points. Then we set the frame level, plumb, and square, using shims placed at anchor points, not random gaps. Every perimeter joint is sealed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, which expands to fill voids without warping the frame. We install to AAMA 2400/2410 standards, which cover what a quality aluminum window and door installation should look like. Then we water-test, adjust the hardware, verify the operation of the arch panel through its full range, and clean up the site.

One thing you should know: ViewLux warranties cover manufacturing defects, not installation errors. An improperly installed arched door can void that coverage. Juniper Windows Orlando is an authorized partner, which means we’ve met ViewLux’s installation requirements and our work keeps your warranty intact. In Orlando’s climate, with its humidity, daily summer storms, and occasional hurricane-force conditions, that matters more than most homeowners realize.
