Product Overview – VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

The VLX 100 is not a standard door bent around a jig. ViewLux fabricates each arch on CNC bending equipment, which means the curve is machined into the aluminum extrusion itself. The result is a curved architectural statement with structural precision, and that precision matters more in Woodland Hills than most people realize. Temperatures swing hard between August afternoons and January mornings, and cheap arched doors show that stress within a few seasons. The VLX 100 doesn’t.

The frame extrusion carries a wall thickness of 0.098 inches and a profile width of 2.56 inches. That’s a substantial cross-section, and it allows the door to hold laminated glass units without flexing. Maximum span is custom fabricated to order, so if you’re working with a mid-century modern in Woodland Hills that has an unusual opening or a Spanish revival with a soft eyebrow arch, we can spec the door to the opening rather than asking you to rebuild the opening to fit a stock door.

The material choice matters too. Aluminum does not absorb moisture the way wood or fiberglass does. In our Woodland Hills climate, with its periodic Santa Ana-driven dry spells and the occasional winter deluge, that translates to a door that won’t swell, won’t wick water into the rough opening, and won’t require the kind of refinishing cycle that wood doors demand. Buyers choose this series because they want the look of a custom estate entry without inheriting a maintenance obligation every other year.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency
The VLX 100 incorporates a thermal break inside the aluminum extrusion, separating interior and exterior metal faces. This stops heat from conducting through the frame during Woodland Hills heat waves, and it’s NFRC-rated so you can compare actual performance numbers rather than taking marketing language at face value. Pair it with Low-E glass and you have a real energy story.

Acoustic Performance
If your home sits near the 101 corridor or under a flight path into Burbank, sound control stops being a luxury. The VLX 100’s sealed frame, combined with laminated glass, measurably reduces exterior noise transfer. We’ve had clients on the north side of Woodland Hills specifically choose laminated glass for this reason.

Airtightness & Weather Seal
Every perimeter joint gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant, applied per installation standard AAMA 2400/2410. This creates a complete air barrier at the rough opening. No draft channels at the arch crown, no gaps where the jamb meets the threshold. Airtightness is what makes the thermal numbers real in practice.

Waterproofing
Arched doors fail at the crown when water pools and finds a seam. The VLX 100’s CNC-bent frame has no crown seam, and our installation protocol includes a full perimeter water test after the door is set. The sill, side jambs, and arch all get checked. In a Woodland Hills winter storm, that’s the difference between a dry entry and a swollen threshold.

Wind Resistance
Santa Ana winds should never be an afterthought when spec’ing an exterior door for a Woodland Hills home. The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for local climate requirements, and the 0.098-inch wall thickness gives the frame the rigidity it needs when gusts hit the broad face of an arched panel. Impact-rated laminated glass is available as an upgrade.

Security & Hardware
The frame’s profile width allows for robust multi-point locking hardware, and the aluminum construction resists the prying forces that defeat standard wood door jambs. Glass can be spec’d as laminated, which holds together under impact rather than shattering. For an entry door, that’s a meaningful security consideration.

Color & Glass Options

Six finishes are available on the VLX 100, and they cover a wide design range. Premium Black reads sharp against the white stucco and desert landscaping common in newer Woodland Hills builds. Pure White blends seamlessly into traditional or ranch-style facades. Anodized Silver leans modern and industrial, a good match for glass-heavy contemporary homes in the hills. Bronze works beautifully on Spanish and Mediterranean styles, while Champagne offers a warmer metallic that pairs well with natural stone. Teak Wood gives you the warmth of wood grain in an aluminum system that never needs refinishing.

On the glass side, Clear and Low-E suit entry doors where visibility and natural light are priorities. Frosted and Obscure provide privacy without giving up daylight, useful when the door faces a busy street or a neighbor’s sightline. Tempered glass is the safety standard; Laminated adds both acoustic and security benefits. We regularly spec laminated Low-E for Woodland Hills clients who want the full performance stack.

Installation by Juniper Windows Woodland Hills in Woodland Hills

An arched aluminum door is only as good as its installation. This is the part of the project where we see the biggest quality gap across the industry. Every door Juniper Windows Woodland Hills installs, including the VLX 100, follows a documented process built around AAMA standards.

We start with a pre-installation inspection of the rough opening. If the opening is out of square, we correct it before the door ever arrives, because an arched frame will not absorb framing error the way a rectangular wood unit might. Once the door is set, we verify level, plumb, and square at the jambs and across the arch. Then we seal the entire perimeter with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, install per AAMA 2400/2410, and water-test the assembly before interior trim goes back on.

Woodland Hills brings its own specific considerations. Much of the housing stock in the area was built in the 1960s and 1970s, and rough openings have often shifted with decades of thermal cycling and the occasional minor seismic event. We account for that during measurement. The local climate also means we pay close attention to UV exposure on the west-facing doors and wind loading on ridgeline properties.

One more thing worth saying plainly: improper installation voids the manufacturer warranty on this door. That’s not a scare tactic. It’s simply how the warranty is written. When Juniper Windows Woodland Hills installs your VLX 100 in Woodland Hills, the installation is warranty-safe and the workmanship is our responsibility. You get one accountable partner from measurement to final inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions – VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

What is the lead time for the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door?
Lead time for a custom-fabricated VLX 100 arched door in Woodland Hills typically runs four to six weeks from finalized measurements and spec approval. Rush fabrication is sometimes available depending on ViewLux’s production schedule. Call (831) 508-3441 and we’ll give you a current lead time quote based on your specific size and finish.

Does the VLX 100 qualify for energy tax credits?
The VLX 100 with NFRC-rated thermal break technology and Low-E glass may qualify for federal energy efficiency tax credits if the specific glass package meets current ENERGY STAR criteria for the Southern California climate zone. We can provide the NFRC performance data for your exact configuration, and we’ll flag eligibility during the quote process.

What warranty comes with the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door?
ViewLux provides a manufacturer’s warranty on the VLX 100 frame and glass, and Juniper Windows Woodland Hills provides a workmanship warranty on the installation. The key detail: the manufacturer’s warranty is only valid if the door is installed by an authorized partner following AAMA 2400/2410 standards. We are that partner in Woodland Hills.

Can I customize the arch radius and overall size?
Yes. The VLX 100 is fabricated to order, which means the arch radius, width, height, glass configuration, finish, and hardware are all specified for your specific opening. There is no stock size you’re forced into. We measure the existing opening or work from plans for new construction, then submit the fabrication specs.

How do I maintain an aluminum framed arched door?
Aluminum frames require minimal maintenance: wipe down with mild soap and water twice a year, keep the track and weatherstripping free of debris, and inspect the perimeter seal annually. No repainting, no staining, no wood rot repair. In Woodland Hills, where dust and pollen accumulate quickly, a quarterly wipe-down keeps the finish looking new.

Will the price change once the job starts?
No. Juniper Windows Woodland Hills provides written line-item quotes, and if the measurement and opening inspection happen before the quote is finalized, the price is fixed. The only time a quote changes is if the homeowner modifies the spec, or if we uncover hidden framing damage during removal that requires structural repair before the door can be set. We’ll always show you the issue and get approval before doing anything.
