VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door in Los Angeles, CA | Westlight Windows Los Angeles
The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door is a CNC-bent aluminum entryway built to order, not pulled off a shelf. If you’re restoring a Spanish Colonial in Hancock Park, modernizing a mid-century in Silver Lake, or building new in Brentwood, this door gives you a curved architectural statement with structural precision that flat-pack doors simply cannot match. Westlight Windows Los Angeles is an authorized ViewLux installation partner serving Los Angeles, CA, which means you get the product direct from the manufacturer and a crew that installs it to AAMA standards. Call (213) 810-3461 to schedule a free on-site measurement and quote.
Product Overview – VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
The VLX 100 series exists for one reason: most door manufacturers won’t touch an arched opening. Curved frames require CNC bending equipment, not just cutting and welding. ViewLux builds each VLX 100 to the exact radius and rise of your opening, which means the arch is a true continuous curve, not a segmented approximation. The result is an entryway that reads as a single architectural gesture, from the threshold to the apex.
Where does this door belong? Think arched front entries common in Los Angeles neighborhoods like Los Feliz, Hancock Park, and Pasadena-adjacent communities where older homes carry rounded doorways. Think wine cellars, garden entries, or a custom pivot door on a hillside home in the Hollywood Hills. The VLX 100 also works as an interior division where you want light to move between rooms without a square frame breaking the sightline.
The frame is extruded aluminum with a 0.098-inch wall thickness and a 2.56-inch profile width. That’s a substantial section, stiffer than what you’ll find on most residential door systems. Aluminum gives you a slim sightline and serious structural rigidity, and it won’t warp, swell, or crack the way wood does through Los Angeles’s dry summers and rainy winters. Thermal break technology separates the interior and exterior aluminum faces, so the frame doesn’t conduct heat into your home the way older commercial aluminum did. Every VLX 100 is custom-fabricated to order, which means your exact width, height, arch radius, and swing direction are built into the door, not adapted around it.
Westlight Windows Los Angeles has installed enough custom doors across Los Angeles, CA to know that the product is only half the equation. The other half is getting the frame dead level, square, and sealed. More on that below.
Technical Specifications
Here are the numbers and options for the VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door as we configure and install it throughout Los Angeles:
- Wall thickness: 0.098-inch extruded aluminum wall, engineered for rigidity across tall arched spans
- Profile width: 2.56-inch frame depth, slim enough for residential sightlines, deep enough for structural load
- Maximum span: Custom fabricated per project, no fixed maximum on arch width or height
- Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, Laminated
- Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, Teak Wood
- Thermal performance: Thermal break technology, NFRC-rated energy performance available per project configuration
- Installation standard: AAMA 2400/2410 compliance, AAMA 812 low-expansion foam on all perimeter joints
- Glazing: Impact-resistant laminated glass option for wind-load and security requirements
Because every VLX 100 is made to order, we work from your exact rough opening dimensions, not a set of stock sizes. That means no shimming a square frame into an arched hole and hoping for the best.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency
A thermal break splits the interior and exterior aluminum profiles so heat doesn’t transfer directly through the metal. On a west-facing entry in Woodland Hills or Encino, that’s the difference between a door that bakes in August and one that holds its surface temperature. Energy ratings are NFRC-rated per configuration, and adding Low-E glass further cuts solar gain.
Acoustic Performance
Laminated glass is the quiet option. It sandwiches a sound-damping interlayer between two panes, which measurably reduces street noise. If your arched entry faces a busy corridor like Ventura Boulevard, Sunset, or Wilshire, laminated glass is the single most effective upgrade we can spec. Ask us about sound control ratings during your quote.
Airtightness & Weather Seal
Every perimeter joint gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant. That’s the standard we follow on every install, because a door that’s square but not sealed will leak air at the edges and drive your HVAC bill up all year. The foam expands to fill the gap, cures flexible, and won’t pull away as the building settles.
Waterproofing
Arched doors have a weak point: the curved head. Water running down the face finds its way to the top of the arc. The VLX 100 frame integrates a continuous head flashing detail, and our crew seals the perimeter per AAMA 2400/2410. That combination prevents water ingress at the arch crown, even in a Los Angeles winter storm.
Wind Resistance
Aluminum is naturally rigid, and a 0.098-inch wall bent into an arch is stronger than a flat span of the same length. Arches distribute load along the curve. We spec the VLX 100 for local wind-load requirements based on your specific location in Los Angeles, CA, including hillside exposures in areas like Mount Washington or Baldwin Hills where gusts run harder than the basin average.
Security & Hardware
Impact-resistant laminated glass holds together under force instead of shattering into shards. Multi-point locking hardware can be integrated into the custom frame, and the aluminum structure resists prying better than a hollow wood jamb. For ground-level entries in Los Angeles, this matters as much as how the door looks.
Color & Glass Options
The VLX 100 comes in six finishes. Premium Black is the strongest statement: sharp, minimal, perfect against white stucco or light brick. Pure White disappears into light walls and suits Spanish and contemporary homes equally. Anodized Silver is the honest-metal look, a natural fit for mid-century modern or industrial interiors. Bronze is warmer than black, reads as refined, and pairs well with dark wood floors and brass hardware. Champagne is the uncommon choice, a soft metallic that tracks toward warm beige and works with transitional architecture. Teak Wood is a wood-grain powder coat finish, giving you the look of a wooden door with none of the maintenance, which matters in Los Angeles where direct sun eats wood finishes fast.
Glass options cover function as much as style. Clear lets maximum light through. Frosted and Obscure give privacy without killing daylight, good for a home office or street-facing entry. Low-E is the energy play, reflecting heat while staying visually transparent. Tempered is safety-rated: it shatters into small, blunt pieces instead of sharp shards. Laminated is the strongest glass option, adding impact resistance and sound damping. You can combine options per panel: laminated Low-E on a front entry, for example, or frost in a powder room door off a living space.
Installation by Westlight Windows Los Angeles in Los Angeles
An arched custom door is only as good as the installation behind it. That’s not sales talk; it’s the reason manufacturer warranties cover product, not labor, and why a poorly set frame voids coverage. Westlight Windows Los Angeles installs every VLX 100 to AAMA 2400/2410, the recognized standard for window and door installation in residential and light commercial buildings.
Our process starts with a pre-install inspection. We measure the rough opening at multiple points, check the substrate for plumb and square, and identify any structural issues before the door is fabricated. If the opening is out of square, we correct it or adjust the frame dimensions accordingly. We don’t force-fit.
On install day, we set the frame level, plumb, and square in all three dimensions, shimming where needed. Then we seal the full perimeter with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam. That’s critical on an arched head: the curve has to be sealed continuously, with no gaps where the frame meets the header, or you’ll get air leaks and water tracking down the interior wall. After the door is hung and the hardware set, we run a water test on the exterior and verify the sweep and seals. Then we clean the site and walk you through operation and care.
Two Los Angeles-specific points. First, sun: prolonged UV exposure on the west and south sides of the city degrades low-quality sealants and warps wood frames. Aluminum and proper sealant spec avoid both. Second, seismic movement: buildings throughout Los Angeles, CA shift over time, and a frame installed with zero tolerance for movement will bind. Our install method accounts for that. Neither issue is theoretical; we see both regularly on older properties across the city, from West Adams to Echo Park.
Frequently Asked Questions – VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
Since every VLX 100 is fabricated to order, lead time typically runs longer than stock doors, usually several weeks from final measurement to delivery depending on glass and finish selections. Call (213) 810-3461 and we’ll give you a current production timeframe for your configuration.
Depending on the glass package and thermal configuration, the VLX 100 may qualify for energy efficiency credits when the project’s overall window and door package meets NFRC-rated performance thresholds. Confirm eligibility with your tax professional, and ask us about Low-E glazing options. Call (213) 810-3461 to discuss energy-rated configurations.
ViewLux provides a manufacturer warranty on the product, and Westlight Windows Los Angeles stands behind our installation workmanship. The manufacturer warranty applies only when the door is installed by an authorized partner following the required standards, which is exactly how we install. Call (213) 810-3461 for warranty terms specific to your order.
Yes. The VLX 100 is custom-fabricated, not sized from a catalog. You specify the exact rough opening width, height, arch radius, and swing direction, and the frame is CNC-bent to match. We’ll verify your measurements on-site before the order goes to production. Call (213) 810-3461 to schedule a free measurement.
Aluminum frames need little more than periodic cleaning with mild soap and water, plus inspection of the seals and sweep. In coastal areas like Santa Monica and Playa del Rey, wipe down the frame monthly to remove salt film. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the powder coat finish. Call (213) 810-3461 if you notice any seal gaps or hardware wear, and we’ll inspect it.
