AfterVLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window in Palm Beach Gardens, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors
The VLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window is a vertical-glide aluminum window built for Florida living. Two sashes slide up and down independently, both tilt inward for cleaning you can do from inside the house. That tilt-in feature matters more than people expect here in Palm Beach Gardens, where salt air, pollen, and afternoon rain showers leave windows looking tired fast. TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized ViewLux installation partner, which means we install this exact product line properly, in Palm Beach Gardens and surrounding communities, with full manufacturer warranty protection intact. If you’re researching this window, you’re likely comparing it against vinyl and wood alternatives. Call us at (772) 794-8169 and we’ll give you honest, specific numbers for your home.
Product Overview - VLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window
The VLX 500 is what most people picture when they think of a classic Florida window, but the engineering is anything but old-fashioned. It’s a true hung window: two operable sashes, vertical movement, and a clean sightline that suits ranch homes in Palm Beach Gardens, Mediterranean-style builds in PGA National, and modern two-story houses in Alton equally well. Homeowners choose this series for three reasons. First, the aluminum frame is genuinely slim. At 2.36 inches wide, the profile gives you more glass area per opening than a bulkier vinyl frame, which means more natural light coming into bedrooms and living rooms. Second, aluminum doesn’t rot, warp, or swell the way wood does in South Florida humidity. Third, the tilt-in sashes turn a chore that usually requires a ladder into a 30-second job. Pull the tabs, pivot the sash, wipe both sides of the glass from inside, done.
ViewLux builds the VLX 500 around a thermally broken frame design, which is the detail that separates modern aluminum windows from the old, sweat-prone single-pane units still found in plenty of 1980s-era Palm Beach Gardens homes. The thermal break is a physical barrier inside the frame that stops heat from conducting through the metal. That matters when your west-facing windows are getting hammered by the Florida sun every afternoon. TruePane Windows & Doors carries this window because the build quality holds up: consistent wall thickness of 0.079 inches across the extrusions means the frame stays square, the balances operate smoothly, and the weatherstripping seats correctly year after year. It’s a product we’re confident installing in any Palm Beach Gardens neighborhood, and we’re confident standing behind.
Technical Specifications

Performance Features
This is the section that matters most for a window in Palm Beach Gardens. A window that looks good but leaks air, lets in road noise, or fogs up from humidity is a liability. The VLX 500 is built around six specific performance goals.
Thermal Efficiency - The thermally broken frame interrupts heat transfer through the aluminum, and NFRC-rated glass packages let us tune the glazing to your home’s orientation. East and west exposures in Palm Beach Gardens get Low-E coatings that reject solar heat without turning the glass dark.
Acoustic Performance - Homes near PGA Boulevard, Military Trail, or I-95 deal with constant traffic hum. Laminated glass combined with the VLX 500’s tight-sealing weatherstripping cuts a noticeable amount of road noise. You won’t get true recording-studio silence from any window, but the difference between this unit and an old aluminum single-pane is immediate.
Airtightness & Weather Seal - The sashes seat into compression weatherstripping that runs the full perimeter of each sash. Combined with the thermal break, this is what stops your air conditioner from working overtime in August. We test every installation with a final air check before we clean up and leave.
Waterproofing - Every perimeter joint on our Palm Beach Gardens installs gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant, then a continuous exterior seal. This isn’t optional caulking; it’s a specified step that prevents wind-driven rain from finding its way behind the frame during summer thunderstorms.
Wind Resistance - Palm Beach Gardens sits in a high-velocity wind zone, and the VLX 500 is wind-load rated for exactly this climate. We can upgrade to impact-resistant laminated glass for any opening, which satisfies the stricter requirements on many newer homes and gives you serious storm protection without shutters.
Security & Hardware - The locks on the VLX 500 don’t feel flimsy. The sash locks engage solidly, and the extruded frame resists prying far better than a hollow vinyl extrusion. Tempered glass options add break resistance for ground-floor and sliding-door-adjacent openings.
Color & Glass Options
Finish selection in Palm Beach Gardens is not just about what you like. It’s about what survives. Our coastal air carries salt and intense UV, which fades and chalks cheap painted finishes within a few years. ViewLux’s finishes on the VLX 500 are engineered for exactly that environment.
Premium Black is the current favorite for modern and transitional homes in Palm Beach Gardens. It frames the glass sharply and pairs well with white stucco or light gray exteriors. Pure White remains the safest choice for traditional Florida ranch homes and HOA-governed communities that restrict color changes. Anodized Silver has a raw, architectural look that holds up exceptionally well in coastal air and suits contemporary designs. Bronze is the classic Florida choice, it warms up the facade and hides water spotting better than lighter finishes. Champagne offers a warmer metallic tone that reads as upscale without being showy. Teak Wood gives you a wood-look finish with zero maintenance, ideal for homeowners who want the warmth of wood windows without the rot and repainting cycle that wood demands in South Florida.
Glass selection follows the room’s function. Clear glass is the budget-conscious option for interiors that don’t face direct sun. Frosted works in bathrooms and side-entry doors where you want light but not visibility. Low-E is the default for most full-home replacements in Palm Beach Gardens, it cuts cooling costs more than any other single upgrade. Tempered glass meets code for windows near doors and low sills. Laminated glass is the impact-rated choice for storm protection and serious sound reduction.
Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Palm Beach Gardens
A well-made window installed poorly is still a poorly performing window. We’ve seen it too many times: homeowners buy a premium product, a low-bid crew slaps it into the opening with a few dabs of caulk, and within a year there are drafts, leaks, and a voided manufacturer warranty. ViewLux’s warranty documentation is clear that installation errors are not covered. So when TruePane Windows & Doors installs the VLX 500 in Palm Beach Gardens, we follow a process that protects your warranty and your home.
We start with a pre-installation inspection. We measure the existing opening from multiple points, check the rough framing for rot or shifting (common in older Palm Beach Gardens homes), and verify that the opening is structurally sound before we order anything. On install day, we pull the old window, inspect the surrounding framing again, and address any water damage we find. We set every frame level, plumb, and square. A window that’s out of square binds, sags, and wears out its balance hardware early. TruePane Windows & Doors doesn’t rush that step.
Every perimeter joint receives AAMA 812 compliant low-expansion foam. The foam insulates, seals against air movement, and allows the frame to expand and contract with Palm Beach Gardens heat cycles without stressing the joint. On the exterior, we apply a continuous seal around the full frame, then flash any vulnerable points. Our installation complies with AAMA 2400/2410, the recognized standard for proper window installation in residential construction. We finish with a water test on the exterior seal, a final air check, interior trim cleanup, and full debris removal from your property. You should never know we were there except for the new windows.
Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window
Lead time on the VLX 500 typically runs three to five weeks from final measurement confirmation, depending on the glass package and finish combination you select. Custom sizes and impact-rated laminated glass can push the window to the longer end of that range. Call (772) 794-8169 to get a current lead time for your specific configuration, because ViewLux’s production schedule shifts through the year. We schedule your installation date before the order goes in so you’re never sitting with open window openings.
It can qualify, but it depends entirely on which glass package you select. The Low-E configurations with NFRC-rated thermal performance are the ones that may meet the energy efficiency requirements for federal tax credits. Clear glass will not qualify. When you get a quote from TruePane Windows & Doors for your Palm Beach Gardens project, ask us to flag the glass options that meet current credit thresholds, and we’ll give you the spec sheets you need for your tax preparer. Call (772) 794-8169 to talk through it.
The ViewLux warranty covers the product against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including the frame, sashes, and hardware. Glass units carry separate coverage for seal failure, which is the thing that causes fogging between panes here in humid Palm Beach Gardens. TruePane Windows & Doors also backs our installation workmanship, which matters because a botched install is the one thing a manufacturer warranty will not cover. We’ll walk you through the full warranty terms before you sign anything.
Yes. The VLX 500 is built to order, not pulled from a shelf in standard sizes. We measure every opening in your Palm Beach Gardens home individually and order each window to the eighth of an inch. That means odd older-home openings, which are extremely common in established neighborhoods, get windows that actually fit rather than the closest stock size surrounded by extra caulk. Custom sizing adds a bit to lead time but nothing to the per-window price.
Maintenance for the VLX 500 is simple: wash the frames with mild soap and water twice a year, wipe the track channels clean, and lubricate the balance mechanisms with a dry silicone spray once a year. Because both sashes tilt inward, you can clean the glass from inside your Palm Beach Gardens home, no ladder and no screen removal on double-hung units. Keep the weep holes at the bottom of the frame clear of debris so rainwater drains the way it’s designed to. That’s it. No repainting, no rot repair, no sealing.
