Product Overview - VLX 100 Swing / Entry Door

The VLX 100 is a single swing entry door with a slim 2.56″ profile width. That narrow frame is the whole point. It lets more glass into the opening, which is what gives the door its contemporary look. The aluminum is extruded with a wall thickness of 0.098″, which is substantial for a residential entry door and one of the reasons this series feels solid when it closes. It’s not a hollow-feeling budget door.

ViewLux designed this series for single-door openings up to 48 inches wide, which covers most front entries in Delray Beach, from the newer builds west of I-95 to the mid-century ranches in Lake Ida and the townhomes near Atlantic Avenue. The multi-point locking system is standard, not an upgrade. When you lift the handle, locking points engage along the frame, not just at a single deadbolt. That matters for both security and how tightly the door seals against wind and water.

Homeowners choose the VLX 100 when they want a front door that reads as modern but still feels like a front door, not a commercial storefront. It works well with the clean horizontal lines you see on newer Delray Beach construction, and the finish options let it settle into more traditional facades too. We’ve installed this door on homes near Seagate, in Tropic Isle, and through the communities along Linton Boulevard. The feedback is consistent: people notice the door before they notice anything else about the entry.

Technical Specifications

Here’s what the VLX 100 brings to the table, in plain numbers and plain language:

• Frame profile width: 2.56 inches. Slim enough for a clean sightline, deep enough to seat a multi-point lock and weather gaskets properly.
• Aluminum wall thickness: 0.098 inches. This is a structural-grade extrusion, not a thin cladding material.
• Maximum width: Up to 48 inches for a single panel. Most standard Delray Beach entry openings fall in the 36″ to 42″ range, so there’s room to go wider if framing allows.
• Glass options: Clear, frosted, obscure, Low-E, tempered, and laminated. Laminated is the option we recommend most often for entry doors in Delray Beach, because it holds together under impact and adds real acoustic dampening.
• Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, and Teak Wood. All are factory-applied finishes designed for coastal air exposure.
• Screen options: Retractable screen or no screen. The retractable option hides away in the frame when not in use.
• Performance standards: Thermal break technology, NFRC-rated energy performance, AAMA 2400/2410 installation compliance, and AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant on all perimeter joints.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency. The VLX 100 uses a thermal break that separates the interior and exterior aluminum profiles. Aluminum conducts heat quickly, so without that break, a Delray Beach entry door radiates afternoon heat straight into the foyer. The NFRC-rated assembly keeps the frame surface cooler and the AC bill steadier.

Acoustic Performance. If your entry faces a busy street, the laminated glass option is worth the upgrade. The interlayer dampens sound transmission noticeably. We have customers on Federal Highway and Linton Boulevard who specifically chose this door for that reason, and the difference between a standard single pane and the laminated build is significant.

Airtightness & Weather Seal. The frame is engineered for compression gaskets that seat fully when the multi-point lock engages. That means no daylight gaps at the corners, which is where cheaper doors in Delray Beach tend to leak conditioned air.

Waterproofing. Every perimeter joint gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant during our installation. This is not the spray foam you buy at a hardware store. It is a controlled-expansion product rated for the exact joint movement aluminum doors experience in a coastal climate, and it is part of why we follow AAMA 2400/2410 rather than a “good enough” approach.

Wind Resistance. This door is wind-load rated for the local climate requirements. Delray Beach sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone, and an entry door that flexes in a storm is a door that leaks. The VLX 100’s frame depth and multi-point locking keep the panel rigid when the pressure differential builds.

Security & Hardware. Multi-point locking is standard. The hardware engages at multiple points along the jamb, which makes forced entry significantly harder than a single deadbolt. For a front entry, this is one of the strongest practical upgrades you can make before even discussing glass type.

Color & Glass Options

The VLX 100 comes in six finishes. Premium Black is the most requested in Delray Beach right now, especially on white stucco homes where the contrast creates a sharp entry statement. Pure White works well on traditional coastal facades. Anodized Silver has a brushed metallic look that suits mid-century and contemporary homes. Bronze reads warmer and pairs nicely with terracotta roof tiles or natural stone accents. Champagne is a softer metallic that works on lighter modern palettes. Teak Wood is a wood-grain finish that gives you the look of timber without the maintenance of real wood in a salt-air environment.

Glass selection depends on where the door faces and what privacy you need. Clear glass maximizes light but exposes the interior. Frosted and obscure glass give privacy while still letting light through, which is useful for doors that face a neighbor or a walkway. Low-E coatings reduce solar heat gain. Tempered glass meets safety glazing code for doors. Laminated glass combines impact resistance with acoustic dampening, and we recommend it for any Delray Beach entry door that will see direct sun or storm exposure.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Delray Beach

Here’s the part most door retailers won’t tell you: the installation determines whether the door actually performs. A VLX 100 installed without proper flashing, leveling, and perimeter sealing will leak, bind, or fail early, and the manufacturer warranty won’t cover it. That’s why we install every door we sell, and why we train our crews to AAMA 2400/2410 standards.

Our process starts with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. We check the framing, the subfloor condition, and the existing flashing situation before we touch anything. In Delray Beach, we frequently find older openings that were never properly flashed, or that have rotted sub-sill material from years of tropical rain. We address those issues before the door goes in, because no door fixes a bad opening.

During installation, the door is set level, plumb, and square. We don’t shim a door into a twisted opening and call it done. The panel is adjusted so the multi-point locking hardware engages smoothly without binding, which is also what keeps the weather gaskets sealing evenly. Every perimeter joint is sealed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, then finished per the manufacturer’s detail. Afterward, we run a water test and make final hardware adjustments. The worksite is cleaned up and the old door is hauled away.

Delray Beach has its own set of challenges: heavy summer rain, salt in the air, and building code requirements for wind-borne debris regions. A door that’s sold nationally wasn’t designed around those specifics, and neither was a generic installation crew. Our team works in this climate year-round, and we know what a Delray Beach entry has to survive.
