VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door in Miami, FL | Westlight Windows Miami
An arched entry door changes the way a home meets the street. The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door is a CNC-bent aluminum entryway that gives Miami homeowners a curved architectural statement without the structural compromises that come with wood or vinyl arches. Whether you’re building in Coral Gables, remodeling in Coconut Grove, or replacing a dated front door in Pinecrest, this door is fabricated to your exact rough opening and installed by Westlight Windows Miami, an authorized ViewLux installation partner. We’ve been installing premium aluminum door systems across Miami-Dade County long enough to know that a custom arch only works when the fabrication is precise and the installation is flawless. Call (850) 753-2730 to talk about your project.
Product Overview – VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door exists because standard rectangular doors can’t do everything. Some homes need a radius top that matches an existing arched opening. Others call for a full custom shape: an eyebrow arch, a Gothic peak, a segmental curve, or a completely bespoke profile drawn by an architect. This series is built for those jobs.
What sets the VLX 100 apart is how the curve is made. The aluminum profiles are CNC-bent, not pieced together from segmented extrusions. That means the radius is continuous and true. There’s no visible seam at the crown of the arch, no flat spot where segments join, and no weak point where two pieces of metal meet. The result is a door that reads as one smooth, uninterrupted curve from jamb to jamb. Structurally, that matters. A bent profile distributes stress evenly along the curve, which is why this door holds its geometry over years of Miami sun, humidity, and storm cycles.
Buyers choose the VLX 100 for three reasons. First, they have an architectural vision that standard products can’t satisfy. Second, they want the durability of aluminum: it won’t warp, rot, swell, or twist the way wood doors do in South Florida’s wet season. Third, they want a door that’s engineered to performance standards, not just built to look good. The VLX 100 delivers all three.
Westlight Windows Miami sells and installs this door as an authorized ViewLux partner. That means you get the product from a local company that stands behind the installation, not from a distant online vendor who ships a pallet and disappears. If you’re in Miami, FL and you’re serious about a custom arched entry, let’s talk. Call (850) 753-2730.
Technical Specifications
Every VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door is fabricated to order. Here’s what goes into it.
- Wall thickness: 0.098 inches. That’s a heavier gauge than most residential aluminum doors in the Miami market, which translates to a stiffer frame, less flex, and better hardware holding power over time.
- Profile width: 2.56 inches. Slim enough for a clean contemporary sightline, deep enough to accommodate a thermal break and multi-point locking hardware.
- Maximum span: Custom fabricated to order. There’s no catalog limitation. If the opening can be structurally supported, the door can be built to fit it.
- Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, and Laminated. Laminated glass is the one Miami buyers ask about most, because it’s impact-rated and holds together under flying-debris conditions.
- Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, and Teak Wood. Powder-coated or anodized, depending on the finish you select.
- Performance ratings: NFRC-rated energy performance with thermal break technology. AAMA 2400/2410 installation standard compliance. AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant used on all perimeter joints.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency – The VLX 100 carries a thermal break in the profile, which separates the exterior and interior aluminum surfaces. That break interrupts the conductive heat path that makes unbroken aluminum frames sweat and radiate heat in Miami. In practical terms, the interior frame stays closer to room temperature, and your air conditioning doesn’t fight the door frame. NFRC-rated assemblies are available with Low-E glass for the strongest energy numbers.
Acoustic Performance – Laminated glass cuts sound transmission noticeably. For homes on busy corridors in Miami, FL – think US-1, Bird Road, Coral Way, or the Palmetto – that can be the difference between a front room you use and a front room you avoid. The combination of laminated glass, a compressed perimeter seal, and the dense 0.098″ frame makes the VLX 100 one of the quieter doors we install.
Airtightness & Weather Seal – A door is only as tight as its perimeter. We set every VLX 100 to be level, plumb, and square, then seal the full perimeter with AAMA 812 compliant low-expansion foam. That foam is critical: it expands to fill the rough opening completely without bowing the frame, and it stays flexible enough to accommodate normal thermal movement. Air infiltration testing on these assemblies consistently comes in well below code minimums.
Waterproofing – Miami gets roughly 60 inches of rain a year, much of it driven sideways by wind. The VLX 100 is designed with a sloped sill, integrated drainage channels, and a continuous perimeter seal. When Westlight Windows Miami installs one, we finish with a water test on the sill and jambs before we call the job done. If water can find a way in, we want to know before you do.
Wind Resistance – South Florida is in a high-velocity hurricane zone, and doors here need to be wind-load rated for the conditions they’ll actually face. The VLX 100 with laminated impact glass is engineered for that reality. The heavier wall thickness and the CNC-bent frame give it the structural reserve to hold up under design wind pressures that lesser doors simply can’t meet.
Security & Hardware – The door’s 0.098″ wall thickness gives the frame real resistance to prying and forced entry. Multi-point locking hardware engages the frame at the jamb and sill, not just a single latch at the handle. Pair that with laminated glass, which won’t shatter out of the frame even when struck hard, and you have an entry that’s genuinely hard to breach.
Color & Glass Options
The VLX 100 comes in six finishes. Premium Black is the current top seller in Miami’s modern and contemporary homes – it reads sharp against light stucco and pairs beautifully with black-framed windows, which are everywhere in new Midtown and Edgewater construction. Pure White works for traditional and coastal designs, especially in neighborhoods like Miami Shores and Morningside where white exteriors are common. Anodized Silver has a raw, architectural quality that suits minimalist and mid-century homes. Bronze is increasingly popular as an alternative to black: warmer, a little more forgiving, and excellent against natural stone and cream exteriors. Champagne is for homeowners who want warmth without going full wood-tone; it has a soft gold undertone that catches light beautifully at dusk. Teak Wood is a powder-coated woodgrain finish that gives the look of real timber with none of the maintenance. In Miami’s humidity, that’s the honest trade-off many former wood-door owners make.
On glass, the right choice depends on your priorities. Clear glass maximizes light and visibility. Frosted and Obscure glass give privacy while still transmitting light, which is ideal for front doors where you don’t want the whole neighborhood seeing in. Low-E glass improves energy performance and cuts UV exposure on floors and furnishings. Tempered glass is safety-rated and required in many door applications. Laminated glass is the impact-rated option for hurricane protection, and it’s the one we recommend most in Miami, FL. If you’re not sure which combination fits your home, we’ll walk through the options during your free estimate – call (850) 753-2730.
Installation by Westlight Windows Miami in Miami
An arched custom door doesn’t tolerate a sloppy install. A fraction of an inch out of square at the rough opening becomes a visible gap at the curve of the arch. That’s why Westlight Windows Miami treats installation as part of the product, not an afterthought.
Every VLX 100 installation starts with a pre-install inspection. We measure the rough opening ourselves, check the substrate, verify structural support around the arch, and confirm that the fabricator’s dimensions match reality. If the opening was framed incorrectly, we correct it before the door arrives – never after.
On install day, we set the frame level, plumb, and square using shims and precision levels, not guesswork. The perimeter is sealed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam on all joints, which fills the gap completely while allowing natural expansion and contraction. The entire installation follows AAMA 2400/2410 standards, which are the recognized industry benchmarks for aluminum storefront and entrance installations. We finish with a water test on the sill and a full hardware adjustment, then clean the site and walk you through the door’s operation and maintenance.
Here’s the part most people don’t realize: if an aluminum door is installed incorrectly, the manufacturer warranty is void. Not reduced – void. The VLX 100 is a precision product, and ViewLux stands behind it only when it’s installed by a qualified, authorized partner. Westlight Windows Miami is that partner in Miami-Dade. We’ve installed aluminum doors across Miami, from Coral Gables to Aventura, and we’ve never had a warranty claim denied because of our workmanship.
Miami-specific factors matter here too. Building codes in the high-velocity hurricane zone set minimum wind-load requirements that vary by exposure category. Salt air accelerates corrosion on cheap hardware. Intense UV attacks finishes that aren’t properly rated. We account for all of it in our product recommendations and install practices. That’s what local expertise buys you. To schedule a free on-site measurement and consultation, call (850) 753-2730.
Frequently Asked Questions – VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
Because every VLX 100 is custom fabricated to order, lead time is typically 4 to 8 weeks from final approval of shop drawings, depending on the complexity of the arch, the glass package, and the finish. We’ll give you a firm production schedule before you commit, and we coordinate delivery around your renovation timeline so the door doesn’t sit on-site longer than necessary. Call (850) 753-2730 to discuss your project and we’ll give you a realistic date range.
Some VLX 100 configurations with Low-E glass and NFRC-rated thermal performance may qualify for energy efficiency credits or utility rebates, but eligibility depends on the specific glass package, your home’s location, and current program rules. We’ll help you identify which combinations meet the applicable criteria when you’re selecting your options. For an exact quote on a qualifying configuration, call (850) 753-2730.
The VLX 100 carries a manufacturer warranty from ViewLux on the frame, finish, and glass, and Westlight Windows Miami backs our installation with a separate workmanship warranty. The critical detail is that the manufacturer warranty only applies when the door is installed by an authorized partner following AAMA standards – which is exactly how we install. Improper installation voids it. Call (850) 753-2730 and we’ll walk you through the warranty terms that apply to your specific configuration.
Yes. The VLX 100 is fabricated to order, which means the door is built to your opening, not the other way around. We routinely produce arched doors in non-standard widths and heights for Miami homes that were built before modern dimensional standards existed. During your free measurement appointment, we’ll confirm exactly what the opening will accommodate and what your architect or contractor needs to prepare. Call (850) 753-2730 to schedule that measurement.
Aluminum frames are low-maintenance, but Miami’s salt air means you should rinse the frame and glass with fresh water every few months, especially if you live within a mile of the coast. Wipe the tracks and hinges with a dry cloth to remove grit, and avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch powder-coated finishes. The hardware should be lubricated once or twice a year with a silicone-based lubricant. If you ever notice a finish issue or a hardware problem, call (850) 753-2730 and we’ll assess it under warranty.
