Product Overview - VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door

The VLX 100 series is built for buyers who want a French door that doesn’t behave like a traditional wood one. No warping in our Palm Beach Gardens humidity. No swelling after a summer of afternoon downpours. The frame is extruded aluminum, engineered for paired door panels that meet cleanly in the middle without a bulky center post stealing the view.

What sets this unit apart is the symmetry. Both panels match in width and height, so the door reads balanced from inside and outside. The sightlines stay narrow even at the meeting stile, which keeps the glass dominant. That matters on a lanai, a great room opening, or a back elevation facing a pool in the PGA National area or off Prosperity Farms Road.

The flush threshold is a big deal here, specifically for Palm Beach Gardens homes. It means nobody trips stepping from a living room out to a patio. It also works better with interior floor transitions when tile meets the door opening. And the multi-point locking hardware isn’t a single latch; the door locks at the top, middle, and bottom in one motion. That’s real security, not just a deadbolt on one leaf.

ViewLux designed the VLX 100 for exactly this climate. The aluminum resists the salt air we get on the east side of Palm Beach Gardens, and the thermal break keeps the interior side from sweating or radiating heat. TruePane Windows & Doors has installed this series in modern stucco homes, mid-century remodels, and newer builds in Alton and Mirasol. The door works across all of them.

Technical Specifications

Here’s what the VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door brings to a Palm Beach Gardens opening:

• Wall thickness: 0.098-inch aluminum profile wall, light enough to move easily, thick enough to resist racking and twisting over time.
• Profile width: 2.56 inches at the frame, a slim profile that preserves sightlines and keeps the glass area as large as possible.
• Maximum span: up to 96 inches wide for the paired unit, covering most double-door rough openings in existing homes and new construction.
• Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, and Laminated.
• Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, and Teak Wood.
• Screen options: Retractable screen or no screen.
• Threshold: Flush, low-profile sill that works with accessible entries and clean interior-to-exterior transitions.

TruePane Windows & Doors can walk you through which combination fits your elevation, your HOA requirements, and your energy goals. Every option above is available for Palm Beach Gardens projects through our team.

Performance Features

Aluminum is only as good as the system around it. The VLX 100 earns its place in Florida homes through the engineering behind the frame, glass, and seals. Here’s what matters when it’s installed in Palm Beach Gardens:

Thermal Efficiency

The frame includes a thermal break, a non-conductive barrier between the inside and outside aluminum surfaces. This stops the sun’s heat from conducting through the frame into your air-conditioned space. Combined with Low-E glass, the VLX 100 carries NFRC-rated energy performance, which is the standard we reference for energy calculations on local projects.

Acoustic Performance

Double-swing doors near a pool pump, a golf course hole, or a busy collector street get loud fast. This system’s seals and glazing make a measurable difference in sound control. Laminated glass adds another layer of noise reduction, something worth considering if your Palm Beach Gardens home backs up to PGA Boulevard or a community amenity area.

Airtightness & Weather Seal

Air leaks are energy leaks and humidity leaks. This door’s perimeter gaskets and compression seals hold the panels tight against the frame. That’s a real advantage in a climate where an air leak becomes a mold risk inside a wall cavity. TruePane installs these units at TruePane’s standard: level, plumb, square, with no daylight showing at any seal.

Waterproofing

Water is the test every door fails eventually. The VLX 100 gets its waterproofing from the frame’s internal drainage and the installation seal. TruePane uses AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant on every perimeter joint, a closed-cell foam that stops water and air at the rough opening. Then we flash, cap, and trim for a finished look that drains correctly.

Wind Resistance

Palm Beach Gardens sits in a high-velocity wind zone. This door is wind-load rated for local climate requirements, and TruePane can size and configure the VLX 100 to meet your specific exposure. For maximum protection, the impact-resistant laminated glass option helps the door handle wind-borne debris without shattering inward. That’s the same logic behind the missile-impact-rated products used across South Florida.

Security & Hardware

The multi-point lock hardware engages along the full height of the primary panel. A single handle throw locks the door at three points, and the secondary panel pins into the header and floor. That’s a level of forced-entry resistance you won’t get from a standard single-cylinder lock. On a French door that’s often the first target of a break-in, this hardware matters.

Color & Glass Options

The VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door can be configured to disappear into your home or become the focal point of the room. Here’s how we see the finishes applied around Palm Beach Gardens:

Premium Black works on modern and transitional homes, especially against white stucco. It frames the glass like a picture. Pure White is the quiet choice for coastal and traditional elevations; it blends with painted trim and keeps sightlines soft. Anodized Silver gives you the natural mill-aluminum look with a satin sheen, and it holds up in direct sun without fading. Bronze is the classic Florida frame, warm and forgiving, common on older Palm Beach Gardens homes from the 1980s and 90s. Champagne reads more custom, with a subtle gold tone that pairs well with travertine and warm interior palettes. Teak Wood is a wood-grain look in aluminum, giving you the appearance of wood French doors without the maintenance.

On glass: Clear gives the truest light and visibility. Frosted softens the view while admitting light, ideal for a door facing a neighbor’s wall. Obscure gives more privacy, used often on doors from a bathroom or hallway. Low-E is the energy upgrade, reflecting heat before it enters the home. Tempered meets safety glazing code for door panels, and Laminated adds impact resistance, security, and the best sound control.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Palm Beach Gardens

We’ll be direct: the best French door in the world fails if it’s installed wrong. In Palm Beach Gardens, the failure usually shows up as a door that won’t close square after a year, water staining at the baseboard, or air you can feel with your hand on a windy day. Most warranty claims on aluminum doors trace back to installation, not manufacturing. A door that isn’t level, plumb, and square before the sealant goes in will never operate correctly. That’s why ViewLux wants authorized installers on this product, and why TruePane Windows & Doors has built its whole installation process around doing it once, correctly.

Here’s what we do on every VLX 100 project in Palm Beach Gardens:

• Pre-installation inspection: We measure the actual rough opening, check the floor for level, and verify the wall plane before ordering or delivery.
• Level, plumb, and square setting: We shim and set the frame to within a tight tolerance. This is the difference between a door that swings free and a door that drags.
• AAMA 812 perimeter sealing: We use low-expansion, closed-cell foam sealant on all perimeter joints. This seals air and water at the rough opening, not just at the surface.
• AAMA 2400/2410 compliance: We install to the industry standard for window and door installation. That means the flashing, anchoring, and integration with the home’s weather barrier are done to spec.
• Final water test: We run water on the exterior after finishing and inspect the interior side before we call the job complete.
• Cleanup and walkthrough: We remove old material, sweep, and walk you through operation, locking, and maintenance before we leave.

Palm Beach Gardens also has building codes around wind loads and product approvals. We know what the inspectors need to see, and we install accordingly. No shortcuts on anchors, no missing flashing, no sealant that shrinks in a year.
