Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

Arched doors change the way a house meets the street. Where a standard rectangle door reads as functional, an arch reads as intentional. The VLX 100 is fabricated by CNC-bending aluminum into a true radius curve, which gives you the architectural drama of a curved entryway without the structural compromises you get from lesser manufacturing methods. This is not a square door with a decorative arch trim tacked on. The frame itself is bent to your specified radius, so the curve is continuous, the sightlines are clean, and the door operates smoothly through its full swing.

Architecturally, the VLX 100 fits Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, and contemporary homes equally well. In Miami Gardens, we see these doors on everything from 1960s ranch houses getting a facade refresh to new builds where the arch is a signature design element from day one. The series earns its place on high-end projects because the engineering backs up the look. The aluminum is thick enough to resist racking, the thermal break keeps interior temperatures stable, and the hardware is specified to handle the weight of a large arched slab without sagging over time.

Buyers choose this series over steel or wood arched doors for three reasons: aluminum doesn’t rust in South Florida humidity, it doesn’t warp when the rainy season hits, and it holds a finish for years without the repainting cycle wood demands. When TruePane Windows & Doors installs a VLX 100 in Miami Gardens, you get the curved architectural statement with the structural precision the product was engineered for.

Technical Specifications

Every VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door is fabricated to order, which means your opening dimensions drive the engineering rather than the other way around. Here’s what you’re working with:

• Wall thickness: 0.098-inch extruded aluminum throughout the frame and sash
• Profile width: 2.56 inches at the frame face
• Maximum span: Custom fabricated to your exact opening, no hard size ceiling within engineering limits
• Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, Laminated
• Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, Teak Wood
• Energy performance: Thermal break technology with NFRC-rated ratings
• Weather sealing: AAMA 812 low-expansion foam on all perimeter joints
• Installation standard: AAMA 2400/2410 compliant
• Impact option: Laminated glass for wind-borne debris protection

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency - The VLX 100’s thermal break separates the interior and exterior aluminum faces, which reduces conductive heat transfer. In Miami Gardens, where AC systems run most of the year, that break means less energy bleeding through your entryway and NFRC-rated performance you can cite on an energy audit or permit application.

Acoustic Performance - A solid aluminum frame with proper perimeter sealing does more than keep weather out; it cuts street noise. Homes in Miami Gardens near NW 27th Avenue or the Turnpike corridor notice the difference immediately. Laminated glass adds another layer of sound reduction for buyers who care about interior quiet.

Airtightness & Weather Seal - We install every VLX 100 with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant on all perimeter joints. That foam eliminates micro-gaps that leak conditioned air and lets humidity sneak in around the frame. The result is a door that actually keeps the outside outside.

Waterproofing - South Florida gets roughly 60 inches of rain a year, and Miami Gardens gets hit with some of the most intense downpours in Dade and Broward. The VLX 100’s perimeter sealing system plus a properly sloped sill prevents water intrusion even in driving rain. Our installers water-test every arched door after setting it.

Wind Resistance - Arched doors present a larger wind profile than square doors, so engineering matters. The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for local climate requirements, and the laminated glass option brings it up to impact-resistant spec. If you’re in a Miami Gardens neighborhood that requires wind-borne debris protection, this door can be built for it.

Security & Hardware - A 0.098-inch wall thickness on the frame and sash gives you structural rigidity that resists prying. The multi-point locking hardware specified for the VLX 100 engages at multiple points along the frame, not just at the latch, which is a meaningful upgrade from a standard single-point lock.

Color & Glass Options

The six finish options cover the range of architectural styles you’ll find across Miami Gardens. Premium Black gives a sharp, modern silhouette that works beautifully on white stucco and contemporary facades. Pure White blends into lighter homes where you want the arch shape, not the contrast, to carry the design. Anodized Silver has a metallic depth that pairs well with mid-century and art deco references. Bronze reads traditional and grounded; we spec it frequently on Mediterranean-style homes in the area. Champagne lands between warm and cool, ideal for homes with mixed metal fixtures. Teak Wood offers the warmth of a wood door with none of the maintenance, which matters in Miami Gardens’s high-humidity environment.

On the glass side, Clear gives you full visibility and maximum natural light. Frosted preserves light while adding privacy for front entries that face the street. Obscure does the same with more texture. Low-E glass is the energy play, blocking heat gain while keeping visible light transmission high. Tempered glass is safety glass that shatters into small pieces instead of dangerous shards. Laminated glass is the impact-rated option, built with an interlayer that holds the glass together under impact.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Miami Gardens

Here’s the reality of arched door installation: the door is only as good as the set. A manufacturer can build a perfect CNC-bent aluminum arch, and an inexperienced crew can still blow the install with an out-of-square rough opening or a thin bead of sealant. When that happens, the door binds, the seals fail, water gets in, and the manufacturer’s warranty goes away. We see failed arched door installs across Miami Gardens from crews that don’t understand radius geometry, and the homeowner is left holding the repair bill.

Our process starts with a pre-install inspection. We verify your rough opening dimensions against the fabricated door, check that the threshold area is level, and confirm the opening is square before the door ever comes off the truck. The VLX 100 gets set level, plumb, and square using shims at every anchor point, never just at the corners. That’s the difference between a door that swings smooth for 20 years and one that starts binding in season one.

After the door is set, we run AAMA 812 low-expansion foam around the entire perimeter, including the curved portion of the arch, which is the spot most installers underfill. Then we install the interior and exterior trim, verify the sill slope, and run a water test to confirm no intrusion before we call the job done. The full installation follows AAMA 2400/2410 standards. In Miami Gardens, where building code enforcement is strict and humidity is relentless, a documented standard keeps your warranty valid and your inspection pass clean.

Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

What is the lead time for the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door? Lead time typically runs 6 to 10 weeks from final measurement to delivery at our Miami Gardens shop, because every arch is fabricated to your exact radius and rough opening dimensions. Call (386) 516-5343 and we’ll give you a current production schedule before you commit.

Does the VLX 100 qualify for energy tax credits? The VLX 100 can qualify for federal energy tax credits when configured with Low-E glass, assuming the door meets the applicable ENERGY STAR criteria for the South Florida climate zone. We can’t guarantee a credit without knowing your exact glass package, but we’ll spec it for maximum eligibility and document the NFRC ratings for your tax preparer. Call (386) 516-5343 for a glass-level quote.

What warranty comes with the Arched / Custom Door? The VLX 100 carries a manufacturer’s warranty through and that warranty stays valid only if the door is installed by an authorized partner using AAMA standard methods. TruePane Windows & Doors is that partner in Miami Gardens. Workmanship on our installation is separately covered by our own warranty, so you’re protected on both the product and the set.

Can I customize the size? Yes. The VLX 100 is custom fabricated to order, which means your arch radius, door width, door height, and glass configuration are all specified to your opening. That’s the point of this product: you’re not limited to stock sizes. We’ll measure your Miami Gardens entryway and order the exact door your home requires. Call (386) 516-5343 to schedule a measurement.

How do I maintain aluminum frames? Wash the frame with mild soap and water twice a year, keep the track and threshold clear of debris, and lubricate the hinges annually with a silicone-based product. The powder-coated finishes on the VLX 100 don’t require painting or sealing, which is one of the strongest arguments for aluminum over wood in Miami Gardens’s climate. If you want, we also offer a maintenance check during our annual service visits.
