VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door in Long Beach, CA | Juniper Windows Long Beach

The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door is a CNC-bent aluminum entryway built around a curve, the kind of architectural statement you notice before you reach the front step. It’s for Long Beach homeowners who want a door that doesn’t look like every other door on the block: Spanish Revival homes in Belmont Heights, mid-century ranchers in Los Altos, modern builds in Naples. Juniper Windows Long Beach is an authorized ViewLux installation partner, which means you get the product, the precision install, and the warranty backing, all from one Long Beach team.

Product Overview – VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door

The VLX 100 comes from ViewLux, a manufacturer that bends aluminum on CNC machinery rather than forcing standard extrusions into shapes they were never meant to hold. That matters for an arched door. A poorly fabricated arch sags over time, the reveal goes uneven, the weatherstripping separates, and suddenly you’re looking at daylight where there shouldn’t be any. A CNC-bent profile holds its radius year after year because the curve is machined into the metal itself, not improvised on site.

Where does this door fit? We’ve installed the VLX 100 arched configuration on Spanish Colonial entries in Bluff Park, where the arched opening is original to the 1920s framing. We’ve also put it on brand-new custom homes in Bixby Knolls where the architect drew a curved entry specifically to break up a flat facade. The 0.098-inch wall thickness gives the frame enough structural meat to resist flexing under wind or daily use, while the 2.56-inch profile width keeps sightlines clean and modern. It’s a door that reads as intentional, not ornamental.

Every VLX 100 is custom fabricated to order, which means the arch radius, the leg height, the swing direction, the glass, the finish, the hardware prep, every dimension is built to your opening, not the other way around. That’s why Long Beach buyers choosing this series tend to be people who’ve already been through the big-box door experience and know what “close enough” means once the installer starts shimming.

Technical Specifications

The VLX 100 is built on an aluminum frame with a 0.098-inch wall thickness and a 2.56-inch profile width. Maximum span is custom fabricated to order, so if your arched opening is unusually wide or tall, we spec the door accordingly. Here’s the full rundown:

  • Frame material: CNC-bent extruded aluminum
  • Wall thickness: 0.098″
  • Profile width: 2.56″
  • Fabrication: Custom arched span, built to your measured opening
  • Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, Laminated
  • Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, Teak Wood
  • Thermal break: Yes, NFRC-rated energy performance
  • Installation standard: AAMA 2400/2410 compliance
  • Perimeter sealant: AAMA 812 low-expansion foam on all joints
  • Glazing options: Single or double pane, depending on glass selection and energy targets

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency – The VLX 100 frame includes a thermal break that separates the interior and exterior aluminum, cutting conductive heat transfer that would otherwise turn your Long Beach entry into a radiator in August. With Low-E glass specified, the door carries an NFRC energy rating, which means real numbers for heat gain and loss, not manufacturer guesswork.

Acoustic Performance – If you live within earshot of Ocean Boulevard, the 710 corridor, or Long Beach Airport flight paths, door acoustics stop being a nice-to-have. Laminated glass in the VLX 100 catches a meaningful share of mid-frequency traffic and aircraft noise. The AAMA 812 foam perimeter seal also closes the sound leaks around the frame that most people never think to address.

Airtightness & Weather Seal – Air infiltration is where doors quietly fail. The VLX 100 is installed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam on every perimeter joint, so the gap between the rough opening and the frame is continuously sealed, not stuffed with fiberglass scraps. Airtightness translates directly into dust control and HVAC efficiency, both noticeable in Long Beach’s dry, windy stretches.

Waterproofing – Coastal moisture, morning marine layer, and the occasional heavy Pacific storm put real water pressure on entry doors here. We set every VLX 100 with a continuous sill pan and AAMA 812 foam, so any water that finds the rough opening gets directed out, not into your subfloor. Water intrusion is the fastest way to rot a door opening; this is how you prevent it in the first place.

Wind Resistance – Long Beach building requirements account for coastal wind loads, and the VLX 100 is wind-load rated for our local climate. The 0.098-inch wall thickness means the frame doesn’t twist under pressure, which keeps the reveal even and the weatherstripping tight over years of Santa Ana gusts blowing straight at your front door.

Security & Hardware – Aluminum entry systems earn their keep when the hardware prep is done at the factory, not drilled on site with a dull bit. The VLX 100 arrives prepped for multi-point locking hardware, and the structural frame thickness means the lock stile has real anchoring instead of thin material. We recommend laminated glass for ground-level entries where security is a priority.

Color & Glass Options

Finish choices run six ways on the VLX 100. Premium Black and Pure White are the default choices for modern and freshly remodeled homes in Long Beach; they’re clean, they’re predictable in a good way, and they frame the arched opening without competing with it. Anodized Silver reads more architectural and industrial, popular in the warehouse conversions downtown. Bronze and Champagne lean warm and suit Spanish Revival and Tuscan facades where bright metal would look out of place. Teak Wood is a wood-grain effect on aluminum, a practical choice for homeowners who want the warmth of a wood door without the reality of a wood door on a coastal exposure.

On the glass side, Clear and Low-E are the workhorses. Frosted and Obscure make sense for entries where you want daylight but not a view into your living room, common on interior courtyard doors and side-lite configurations. Tempered and Laminated are the safety and security options; laminated also brings the acoustic and impact-resistance benefits we covered above. Long Beach coastal exposure makes Low-E glass worth the modest upcharge on any door that faces southwest.

Installation by Juniper Windows Long Beach in Long Beach

An arched door is only as good as the crew that sets it. Improper installation voids the manufacturer warranty, plain and simple. If the frame is out of level by half an inch, the arch binds. If the perimeter isn’t sealed with AAMA 812 foam, the air and water numbers on the spec sheet never show up in real life. If the sill isn’t prepped correctly, the first winter rain finds your flooring. We install every VLX 100 in Long Beach to AAMA 2400/2410 standards because that’s the standard that keeps the warranty valid and the door performing.

Our process starts with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. We measure the arch radius against the existing framing, check for square and plumb, and flag any structural work that needs to happen before the door goes in, which happens more often than you’d think in older Long Beach homes. From there we set the frame level, plumb, and square, shimming to keep the reveal consistent around the full arc. We apply AAMA 812 low-expansion foam on all perimeter joints, install the door slab, and then run a water test on the assembly. Cleanup happens before we leave, and we walk you through the operating hardware and finish care.

Long Beach specifics matter here. Coastal moisture accelerates corrosion on poor-quality hardware, so we spec stainless fasteners on all our installs. Older homes in the 90803 and 90814 zip codes often have settled openings that need reframing before an arched door will sit correctly. And yes, we handle the permit side when the project calls for it.
