AfterVLX 100 Arched / Custom Door in Stuart, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
An arched entryway changes how a home feels before anyone steps inside. The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door from ViewLux isn’t a stock catalog item; it’s CNC-bent aluminum, fabricated to your opening’s exact radius, and installed by TruePane Windows & Doors as an authorized ViewLux partner right here in Stuart, FL. Homeowners along the Treasure Coast choose this door when they want a curved architectural statement without sacrificing structural integrity. Whether you’re building new in Sailfish Point or renovating a mid-century home near downtown Stuart, we handle the measurement, the custom fabrication order, and the installation. Call (754) 324-4646 to talk about your project.
Product Overview - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door fills a gap that most door manufacturers don’t touch. Standard rectangular doors are mass-produced. Curved doors require field measurement, custom bending, and an installer who understands how a radiused frame behaves under load. ViewLux builds the door itself; TruePane Windows & Doors makes sure it fits your Stuart home the way it should.
The door is formed from extruded aluminum, bent on CNC equipment to match a precise arch profile. That process matters because hand-bending aluminum introduces stress points and inconsistencies. CNC work keeps the curve clean, the sightlines tight, and the structural performance predictable. The result is a curved entry that looks like it was always meant for your home.
This series suits Mediterranean revival homes in Stuart’s older neighborhoods, modern builds in Sewall’s Point, and coastal properties in Jensen Beach where a rounded entry softens the look against palm landscaping. It works as a front door, a patio door, or a feature door on a custom build. If your opening isn’t a standard radius, that’s the point of this product: we order it custom to your measurements.
Because we’re an authorized ViewLux installation partner, the warranty stays intact. Buy the door from one company and have another install it, and you’ll find warranty claims become a finger-pointing exercise. We order, we install, we stand behind it. Call (754) 324-4646 if you’re comparing arched door options in Stuart and want honest numbers.
Technical Specifications
Here’s what the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door brings to the table, in plain terms:
- Wall thickness: 0.098-inch extruded aluminum walls. That’s a heavier extrusion than what you’ll find on most residential door frames, and it shows in how the door feels when it swings.
- Profile width: 2.56-inch frame depth. Slim enough to keep sightlines elegant, deep enough to carry the glass and hardware without flexing.
- Maximum span: Custom fabricated to order. There’s no fixed size chart; we measure your opening bends the aluminum to match.
- Glass options: Clear, frosted, obscure, Low-E, tempered, and laminated impact glass.
- Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, and Teak Wood.
- Hardware: Multi-point locking hardware specified at order time, matched to the finish you choose.
Because every VLX 100 is built to order, the lead time runs longer than an off-the-shelf door. We’ll cover that below, but figure on custom fabrication timelines when you’re planning your project calendar around a Stuart building permit or HOA approval.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency
The VLX 100 incorporates a thermal break within the aluminum frame, which stops heat from conducting straight through the metal. That matters in Stuart, FL, where the summer sun hits east-facing entries hard from mid-morning onward. The NFRC-rated performance means your air conditioning isn’t fighting a giant metal radiator every afternoon.
Acoustic Performance
Aluminum frames with laminated glass cut exterior noise significantly. If your Stuart home sits near US-1, the Roosevelt Bridge, or a busy stretch of Dixie Highway, you’ll notice the difference when the door closes. Laminated glass dampens road noise and wind frequencies that standard single-pane doors let straight through.
Airtightness & Weather Seal
We seal every perimeter joint with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam. That single step is where most door installations fall apart, and it’s why we insist on doing it ourselves. An airtight seal keeps conditioned air in and humidity out, which in Florida’s climate is the difference between a door that works and one that grows mold inside the jamb.
Waterproofing
Stuart gets roughly 60 inches of rain a year, much of it in afternoon downpours that hit doors sideways. The VLX 100’s perimeter sealing combined with proper sill flashing keeps water on the outside where it belongs. We water-test after installation to confirm before we call the job done.
Wind Resistance
The VLX 100 is wind-load rated to meet the building code requirements for Martin County and the Treasure Coast. For homes in higher wind zones, we recommend the laminated impact glass option, which provides protection against wind-borne debris during storm season.
Security & Hardware
The 0.098-inch wall thickness gives the frame enough rigidity to support multi-point locking hardware without sagging. A multi-point lock engages at multiple points along the frame, not just at one deadbolt, which makes forcing the door significantly harder.
Color & Glass Options
The six ViewLux finish options cover most architectural styles you’ll find driving through Stuart, FL neighborhoods. Pure White and Premium Black suit modern homes with clean lines and minimal trim. Anodized Silver reads as classic aluminum and pairs well with mid-century homes or contemporary coastal builds. Bronze and Champagne fit warmer palettes; they’re common choices on Mediterranean and Spanish revival homes in communities around Stuart. Teak Wood gives you the look of wood grain without the maintenance that actual wood demands in Florida humidity.
On the glass side, clear glass keeps the view uninhibited, which is often the point of an arched door facing a waterfront lot. Frosted and obscure glass give privacy for doors facing a street or a close neighbor. Low-E glass cuts solar heat gain, which matters when the door faces west. Tempered glass meets safety code for doors. Laminated impact glass is the upgrade we recommend most for Stuart homeowners who rebuilt after a hurricane or who want to skip the storm shutters on their entry.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Stuart
An arched door is only as good as the installation. We’ve seen beautiful, expensive doors fail within two seasons because someone didn’t set the frame exactly level, plumb, and square. A door that’s out of square by even a quarter inch will bind, sag, and eventually refuse to latch. That’s not a door problem; it’s an installation problem.
Here’s how we install the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door in Stuart homes:
- Pre-install inspection: We measure the opening ourselves, verify the rough opening dimensions against the custom fabrication order, and check the substrate for moisture or structural issues before the door ever leaves the manufacturer.
- Setting the frame: We set every door level, plumb, and square using shims and anchors rated for the opening. This takes time, especially on arched frames where the radius has to align perfectly with the glass and hardware points.
- Perimeter sealing: We apply AAMA 812 low-expansion foam around all perimeter joints, then cap it with sealant that meets AAMA 2400/2410 installation standards. These are the standards the manufacturer requires, and they’re what we’ve always done, even before we became an authorized partner.
- Water test: After installation, we run water along the sill and perimeter to confirm there are no leaks. In Stuart’s climate, this step is non-negotiable.
- Cleanup and walkthrough: We haul off the old door, the packaging, and the job debris. Then we walk you through the hardware, the locking points, and the finish care before we leave.
Improper installation voids the manufacturer warranty on any door, and that’s especially true with custom fabricated products like the VLX 100. When TruePane Windows & Doors installs your door, the warranty chain stays intact from ViewLux’s factory to your Stuart home.

Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
Expect 6 to 10 weeks from signed order to installation for a custom fabricated arched door, depending on the finish, glass package’s production queue at the time you order. Standard rectangular doors ship faster; arched doors are fabricated to your specific radius, which adds time. We’ll give you a firm timeline when we place the order, and we coordinate the installation so you’re not living with a boarded-up opening. Call (754) 324-4646 to check current lead times for a Stuart delivery.
The VLX 100 may qualify for federal energy tax credits if you select Low-E glass and the door meets the IRS criteria for exterior doors in effect during the tax year of installation. We’ll provide the NFRC documentation with your order so your accountant has what they need. The credit amount changes year to year, so we recommend confirming eligibility with a tax professional before counting on a specific figure.
The VLX 100 carries the ViewLux manufacturer warranty, which covers the frame, glass, and hardware against manufacturing defects. The key phrase there is “manufacturing defects.” Warranty coverage assumes the door was installed by an authorized partner according to the manufacturer’s specifications. As an authorized ViewLux installer, TruePane Windows & Doors keeps your warranty valid and handles warranty claims on your behalf. Get exact terms at quote time; call (754) 324-4646.
Yes. The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door is built to your opening’s exact dimensions and radius, which means there’s no standard size chart to fit within. We measure the rough opening at your Stuart home, document the arc profile, and submit the fabrication order. If you’re building new, we can work from your architect’s plans. If you’re replacing an existing arched door, we measure the actual door and frame, not just the opening.
Aluminum frames in Stuart, FL need little maintenance beyond occasional cleaning with mild soap and water, especially if you’re near salt air. Rinse the frame after storm season and wipe down the tracks and threshold a few times a year. Lubricate hardware annually. If you chose the Anodized Silver finish, skip abrasive cleaners; they’ll dull the anodized coating. Specific care instructions come with your finish package, and we review them with you at the final walkthrough.
