AfterVLX 100 Arched / Custom Door in Miami, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
An arched entry door changes the way a home meets the street. The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door from ViewLux is a CNC-bent aluminum entryway built for homeowners in Miami, FL who want a curved architectural focal point without sacrificing structural integrity. At TruePane Windows & Doors, we’re an authorized ViewLux installation partner, which means you get the product backed by our installation expertise, not just a box dropped on your porch. We measure, fabricate to your opening, and install to AAMA standards. Call (754) 238-2201 to talk through your project.
Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door exists for one reason: most door manufacturers won’t touch a true arch. A curved entryway demands precision bending, and precision bending is exactly what this product is built around. ViewLux CNC-bends the aluminum frame to your exact radius, so the curve is continuous and clean, not pieced together from straight sections. That’s the difference between a door that looks custom and a door that actually is custom.
We see this door specified most often on Spanish Mediterranean homes in Coral Gables, mid-century modern builds in Coconut Grove, and new construction along the Upper East Side of Miami. It reads as an architectural statement, not an off-the-shelf component. Buyers choose the VLX 100 because they want the look of a curved European entry without importing a door that was never engineered for South Florida’s wind and humidity. The aluminum substrate handles the climate. The thermal break handles the energy load. And the custom fabrication handles the fit.
This is a custom fabricated-to-order product. Your arch radius, your opening height, your swing direction. TruePane Windows & Doors handles the field measurements, the order, and the installation. No third-party handoff. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule a measurement.

Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency: The VLX 100 includes a thermal break in the frame profile, separating interior and exterior aluminum surfaces. That break is what keeps the Miami sun from turning your entryway into a radiator. NFRC-rated energy performance means the door contributes to your home’s overall cooling load efficiency, which matters when your AC runs ten months a year in Miami, FL.
Acoustic Performance: If you live on a busy street in Little Havana or near the airport in Miami Springs, street noise is a real consideration. The VLX 100’s aluminum frame and glass package options, including laminated glass, reduce exterior sound transmission. Laminated glass is the single best upgrade you can make for acoustic control on a door.
Airtightness & Weather Seal: Drafty entry doors in Miami, FL let humid outdoor air into your conditioned space, which drives up your electric bill. The VLX 100 is assembled with compression gaskets at all glass and frame junctions. On installation, our crews seal the perimeter with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam to close the gap between the rough opening and the frame, which is where most air leaks live.
Waterproofing: Miami gets 60-plus inches of rain a year, often sideways in summer storms. The VLX 100’s sill design and frame drainage channels direct water away from the interior. Combined with the AAMA 2400/2410 installation standard we follow at TruePane Windows & Doors, the waterproofing is a system: frame design, sealant, flashing, and sill pan working together.
Wind Resistance: The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for local climate requirements, and when paired with laminated impact glass, it’s built for Miami-Dade and Broward high-velocity hurricane zones. This is not a decorative arch way that happens to close. It’s a structural opening in your home’s wind envelope, an engineered aluminum product rated for South Florida conditions.
Security & Hardware: The aluminum frame accepts multi-point locking hardware, which secures the door at multiple points along the height of the panel rather than a single deadbolt. That matters on a wide arched entryway where a single-point lock leaves the top of the door prone to flex. Hardware is installed and adjusted by our crew in Miami, FL, not left in a box for you to figure out.
Color & Glass Options
The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door comes in six finishes. Premium Black and Pure White are the most common choices we see in Miami, FL. Black reads sharp and modern against stucco; white sits naturally on Mediterranean and coastal homes from Pinecrest to Palmetto Bay. Anodized Silver offers a raw aluminum look that suits industrial and contemporary builds. Bronze and Champagne are warmer, earthier options that pair well with wood accents and older Florida architecture. Teak Wood is a woodgrain finish that gives you the appearance of a timber entry without the warping and termite risk that real wood carries in Miami’s humidity.
On glass, your choice depends on what the door must do. Clear maximizes light and visibility. Frosted and Obscure add privacy for entries that face the street or a neighbor’s window. Low-E blocks infrared heat from the sun, which matters on a west-facing entry in Kendall or Doral. Tempered is safety glass that shatters into small pieces if broken, and Laminated is the impact-resistant option for wind-borne debris protection. Laminated glass is often required in Miami-Dade’s high-velocity hurricane zone, and it also provides the acoustic and UV benefits already mentioned.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Miami
Here’s the part most people don’t think about until it’s too late. An arched door is only as good as its installation. A custom fabricated door that’s installed half an inch out of square will bind, leak, or fail to seal, and the manufacturer warranty won’t cover a single dollar of it. Improper installation is the number one cause of door failure we see when we’re called out to fix other companies’ work across Miami, FL.
Our process starts with a pre-install inspection. We verify the rough opening dimensions against the fabricated door, check the substrate, and confirm the opening is ready to receive the frame. Then we set the frame level, plumb, and square. “Close enough” doesn’t exist on an arched opening because the curve amplifies any deviation. The threshold is shimmed and anchored, the hinges are adjusted, and the panel is hung and tested for smooth operation.
With the frame set, we seal the perimeter with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam on every joint. That’s the sealant that prevents air and moisture infiltration between the frame and the rough opening. Flashing and sill pans are installed to direct water away from the home, and we follow AAMA 2400/2410 installation standards throughout, which is the recognized industry standard for window and door installation.
Before we leave, we run a water test on the entry and walk you through operation and hardware. Our installation keeps your manufacturer warranty intact, which is exactly why TruePane Windows & Doors has built its reputation in Miami, FL on installation quality, not just product sales.
Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
Lead time is typically 8-12 weeks from final measurement approval, because each VLX 100 is custom fabricated to order in the ViewLux facility. Your exact timeline depends on the fabrication queue and your finish and glass selections. Call (754) 238-2201 and we’ll give you a current lead time estimate based on your project.
The VLX 100 may qualify for federal energy tax credits depending on the glass package you select, because the thermal break and Low-E glazing options contribute to overall home energy performance. We can’t promise a tax outcome, but we can provide the NFRC-rated documentation you’ll need to file. Ask about it when you call (754) 238-2201.
The VLX 100 carries a manufacturer’s warranty from ViewLux, which is only honored if the door is installed by a qualified professional per the installation specifications. TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized ViewLux installation partner, so your installation is warranty-compliant from day one. We’ll walk you through the specific warranty terms during your free estimate.
Yes, and that’s the entire point of the VLX 100 line. The door is CNC-bent to your exact radius and fabricated to your opening dimensions. You’re not picking from a catalog of preset arches. You tell us the opening, we measure it, and ViewLux fabricates to the measurement. Call (754) 238-2201 to schedule an on-site measurement.
Aluminum frames, including the VLX 100’s, need basic care: wash with mild soap and water twice a year, check the perimeter sealant annually, and keep the track and hinges clear of debris. In Miami, FL, salt air near the coast can build up on the frame, so rinse exterior surfaces after storms. The powder-coated finishes resist fading and corrosion well, but a quick rinse keeps them looking new.
