VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door in Dallas, TX | Westlight Windows Dallas
An arched entry door changes the way a house meets the street. It’s the difference between “nice home” and “that house.” The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door from ViewLux is fabricated to your exact opening, with a CNC-bent aluminum frame that holds its curve with real structural integrity. Westlight Windows Dallas is an authorized ViewLux installation partner, and we’ve installed these doors across Dallas from Highland Park to Lakewood to Frisco. Whether you’re building a Mediterranean-style entry in Preston Hollow or restoring a mid-century curve in East Dallas, this door gets done right. Call (361) 441-0865 and we’ll walk you through the process, including a free on-site measurement.
Product Overview – VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
Most door manufacturers avoid curves because curves are hard. The VLX 100 leans into them. Each arched frame starts as a straight length of aluminum extrusion, then gets CNC-bent to the radius specified by your architect, your builder, or your own measurements. That’s the structural precision part, and it matters. A door that’s welded or pieced together at the arc will eventually show a seam, a stress crack, or a weather gap. A CNC-bent door holds one continuous profile from threshold to keystone.
Architecturally, this door belongs where the house wants drama at the entry. Spanish Colonial and Tuscan homes around Dallas use it naturally, but we’re also seeing it on modern builds where the arch is a deliberate counterpoint to otherwise straight lines. It can be the sole curved element on an otherwise orthogonal facade, and that’s exactly why it works.
The 2.56″ profile width gives the door real presence from the curb without turning heavy-handed. The 0.098″ wall thickness is thicker than what you’ll find on most residential aluminum doors at the big-box level, and you feel it in the heft of the panel when it swings. Buyers choose the VLX 100 because they want a door that’s custom without being completely custom-manufactured from scratch, which keeps the price sane. Dallas homeowners, architects, and builders working in the metro area all end up here for the same reasons: the curve is exact, the aluminum won’t rot or warp, and the whole package installs clean in an opening that would defeat a standard door.
Westlight Windows Dallas installs the VLX 100 throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Because we’re the authorized install partner, we don’t guess at the rough opening specs or the thermal break details. We’ve handled this exact door system many times, and we know how it behaves in North Texas heat and humidity.

Every VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door we order for Dallas clients is spec’d to the actual opening, not trimmed on site. That’s how the thermal break survives intact and the warranty stays valid. The frame arrives cut, bent, and finished from ViewLux; we handle measurement, installation, and final sealing.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency
The VLX 100 uses a thermal break in the aluminum extrusion, which is what separates a real performance door from a cheap aluminum frame. In Dallas summers, a non-thermal-break door lets heat transfer straight through the frame. NFRC-rated performance here means lower cooling loads and a frame that doesn’t sweat.
Acoustic Performance
Arched entry doors with full-perimeter weatherstripping do a lot for street noise. The VLX 100’s airtight seal and your choice of laminated or tempered glass cut traffic sound from nearby arterials meaningfully. Near Mockingbird Lane or Inwood Road, that’s not a luxury; it’s a daily comfort decision.
Airtightness & Weather Seal
The door is installed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam on every perimeter joint, which closes the micro-gaps that air moves through. A door that fits tight in its rough opening is an airtight door. Our Dallas install crews foam, then trim, then apply the interior and exterior seals in that exact order.
Waterproofing
A curved opening is only as watertight as its sill and flashing details. Westlight Windows Dallas installs the VLX 100 with the AAMA 2400/2410 installation standard as our baseline. Proper sill pan flashing, sloped threshold, and exterior-grade sealant at the brick or stucco line keep North Texas downpours from finding a way inside. We water-test after install.
Wind Resistance
Dallas gets its share of spring storm fronts, and the VLX 100 is wind-load rated for local climate requirements. The 0.098″ wall thickness and the continuous aluminum arc mean the frame resists racking and deflection when gusts hit. Choosing laminated glass adds another layer of structural integrity and the door will hold against flying debris better.
Security & Hardware
The hollow is filled, the panel is heavy, and the hardware seats into reinforced aluminum. You get a multi-point locking system option, solid hinge reinforcing, and a frame that doesn’t flex when someone leans on it. For Dallas homeowners who want a statement entry that’s also a genuine barrier, the VLX 100 delivers both.
Color & Glass Options
Premium Black is the strongest seller in Dallas right now, especially on modern and transitional homes where the arch is the only curve on the facade. Pure White fits Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial homes throughout Dallas. Anodized Silver gives you that raw aluminum look with a hard, weather-resistant surface. Bronze leans into classic Dallas traditional architecture, and Champagne is the choice for homes that need warmth without going dark. Teak Wood is for clients who want the warmth of a wood entry without the maintenance of actual wood, and from the curb it’s surprisingly convincing.
On glass: Clear lets in maximum light, which matters on a north-facing entry. Frosted and Obscure give you privacy without losing the door’s architectural statement. Low-E is the efficiency workhorse, cutting solar heat gain in Dallas summers. Tempered is standard on most doors for safety. Laminated is the upgrade: better acoustics, better storm resistance, harder to break through. We help you match the glass to the exposure.
Installation by Westlight Windows Dallas in Dallas
An arched door is only as good as the crew that sets it. A 1/8″ error on an arched rough opening becomes an obvious visual flaw, and a poorly flashed arch leaks. This is the exact scenario where a manufacturer warranty goes void because the installer didn’t follow the standard.
Our Dallas installation process starts before the door is even ordered. We measure the opening ourselves, check for plumb and level on the rough frame, and get the arch radius from the actual substrate, not the plan. Then we order the VLX 100 to those dimensions. When it arrives, the process is:
- Pre-install inspection of the opening and the door panel
- Setting the frame level, plumb, and square, with shims at every anchor point
- AAMA 812 low-expansion foam applied to every perimeter joint
- AAMA 2400/2410 installation standard compliance throughout
- Sill pan flashing and sloped threshold set for positive drainage
- Final water test on the full assembly, including the arc top
- Cleanup, hardware check, and a walkthrough of care and maintenance
Dallas climate specifics matter here. The North Texas freeze-thaw cycle we get every other winter will find any gap in a poorly sealed door. The UV exposure from long, hot summers will fade or chalk a finish that wasn’t factory applied. These are the things a Dallas-specific installer already knows, and the reason homeowners call us instead of a general handyman.
Frequently Asked Questions – VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
Because every VLX 100 is fabricated to your opening, lead time runs several weeks from confirmed measurements to delivery at our Dallas shop. Custom arches are not an off-the-shelf product. Call (361) 441-0865 and we’ll give you a current production timeline based on ViewLux’s schedule and your exact door spec.
Whether your VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door qualifies depends on the glass package you choose and the current tax year rules. Low-E and laminated options push the door toward the NFRC performance thresholds that typically matter for credits. We can walk you through the glass choices that get you the best thermal numbers for your Dallas home, and you should confirm eligibility with your tax professional.
The VLX 100 carries a manufacturer warranty from ViewLux that covers the frame and glass, provided the door is installed by an authorized partner like Westlight Windows Dallas. Improper installation, especially around the arch, is the most common reason a warranty claim gets denied. Our installation meets AAMA standards so the warranty stays intact.
Yes, this is the entire point of the VLX 100. The door is custom fabricated to order, which means the exact arch radius, width, height, and glass configuration are made to your opening. There is no fixed size chart. We measure, you approve, the door gets built. Call (361) 441-0865 to schedule a free measurement in Dallas.
Aluminum frames need very little: wash the surface and track with mild soap and water twice a year, keep the sweep clear of debris, and check the weatherstripping each spring. In Dallas, the biggest maintenance factor is sprinkler overspray hitting the frame, which causes mineral buildup and can damage the finish over time. Adjust your irrigation heads to keep spray off the door.
