VLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window in West Covina, CA | Hale Windows West Covina
The VLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window is a vertical-glide aluminum window built for homeowners in West Covina who want clean sightlines, dependable operation, and glass options that actually make sense for Southern California sun. It’s the window you open from the top or bottom, with sashes that tilt inward so you can wash both sides from inside the house. As an authorized ViewLux installation partner, Hale Windows West Covina supplies, measures, and installs the VLX 500 to the manufacturer’s exact specifications. We serve West Covina and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley communities. Call (707) 506-0502 to schedule a free on-site measurement and quote.
Product Overview – VLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window
The VLX 500 is a classic hung window with a modern aluminum frame. The single hung version keeps the top sash fixed while the bottom glides up. The double hung lets both sashes move independently, which gives you better airflow control in West Covina’s warm inland climate. Both versions share the same frame engineering: a slim 2.36-inch profile width that maximizes the glass area without sacrificing structural strength, and a wall thickness of 0.079 inches that holds its shape through years of open-and-close cycles.
What separates this series from cheaper aluminum windows is the tilt-in sash mechanism. Both sashes pivot inward with a simple release, so you can clean the exterior glass while standing inside your home. If you have a two-story house in West Covina, that feature alone changes how you think about window maintenance. No ladders, no screens to wrestle out from awkward angles, no phone call to a cleaning service every six months.
Architecturally, the VLX 500 fits a wide range of West Covina housing stock. We install it in mid-century ranches in South Hills, in 1980s tract homes near Cameron Park, and in newer builds across the city. The vertical glide reads traditional enough for older neighborhoods, while the clean aluminum lines and narrow profile appeal to buyers who prefer a contemporary look. The product series is reliable, straightforward, and available with a broad glass and finish range.

Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency
Aluminum conducts heat, which is why the VLX 500 includes thermal break technology that separates the interior and exterior frame sections. This reduces heat transfer through the metal itself, helping keep West Covina homes cooler during triple-digit August afternoons. The thermal barrier also improves the window’s NFRC-rated energy performance numbers. Pair it with Low-E glass for the strongest temperature control.
Acoustic Performance
West Covina has its share of traffic noise, particularly near the 10 Freeway, Azusa Avenue, and streets that carry heavy morning commutes. The VLX 500’s frame construction and glass options, especially laminated glass, make a measurable difference in reducing exterior sound. Laminated glass uses an interlayer that dampens sound transmission, making it the go-to choice for bedrooms and home offices facing active streets.
Airtightness & Weather Seal
The window’s perimeter weatherstripping is engineered to keep conditioned air inside and dust outside. West Covina gets its share of Santa Ana wind events that push fine dust and allergens through poorly sealed windows. The VLX 500’s sealing system, installed correctly per AAMA 2400/2410 standards, blocks those infiltration points.
Waterproofing
Hale Windows West Covina installs each VLX 500 with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant along the full perimeter. That sealant creates a water-resistant barrier between the window frame and the rough opening. The window itself includes integrated weep systems that channel any incidental moisture outward, away from the wall cavity. This matters in West Covina, where occasional winter downpours hit roofs and walls hard for short bursts.
Wind Resistance
The VLX 500 is wind-load rated for local climate requirements. The 0.079-inch wall thickness gives the frame the rigidity to resist deflection under gust pressure. That structural stability keeps the sashes operating smoothly even after years of Santa Ana winds and keeps the weatherstripping seated properly.
Security & Hardware
Hung windows with tilt-in sashes need secure locking systems, and the VLX 500 delivers with cam-action locks that draw the sashes tight against the frame. Impact-resistant laminated glass is available as an upgrade for added security. The hardware is designed for repeated daily use without loosening or binding.
Color & Glass Options
The VLX 500 comes in six finishes: Premium Black (a matte look that anchors modern exteriors), Pure White (classic, especially on traditional stucco homes in West Covina), Anodized Silver (a natural aluminum tone that reads understated), Bronze (warm and muted, works beautifully with Southwestern and mid-century styles), Champagne (a lighter warm metal that brightens facades), and Teak Wood (a wood-look finish that gives the curb appeal of timber without the maintenance).
Glass options are just as flexible. Clear is standard and honest. Frosted provides privacy for bathrooms, entries, and side yards. Low-E is the workhorse glass for West Covina, rejecting infrared heat while admitting visible light. Tempered glass meets code for windows near doors, in low sills, or in rooms with specific safety requirements. Laminated offers the best acoustic performance and impact resistance.
Installation by Hale Windows West Covina in West Covina
Proper installation matters more than most people realize. A VLX 500 installed incorrectly will leak, bind, or lose its thermal performance, and the manufacturer warranty won’t cover failures caused by bad installation. That’s why we recommend hiring a professional team for this product, and why Hale Windows West Covina follows a disciplined installation process on every job.
We start with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. We check for rot, water damage, out-of-square framing, and improper flashing. If we find existing issues, we address them before the window goes in. Then we set the frame level, plumb, and square, shimming precisely so the sashes glide without resistance. Every perimeter joint receives AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant, which expands to fill gaps without distorting the frame. We finish with a water test at critical points and a full cleanup of the work area.
Our West Covina installations comply with AAMA 2400/2410 standards, the recognized benchmark for proper window installation. We also coordinate with local building code requirements, including tempered glass placement and egress window sizing for bedrooms. Whether your home is a single-story in central West Covina or a two-story in the hills, we measure, order, and install with the same attention to detail. Call (707) 506-0502 to talk through your project.
Frequently Asked Questions – VLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window
What is the lead time for the VLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window?

The fastest way to get an accurate timeline for your specific project in West Covina is to call (707) 506-0502 for a free consultation.
Does the VLX 500 qualify for energy tax credits?
Yes, the VLX 500 may qualify for energy tax credits when configured with Low-E glass that meets applicable efficiency requirements. Tax credit eligibility depends on the specific glass package and current program guidelines. We’ll help you identify qualifying configurations during your estimate.
What warranty comes with the Single & Double Hung Window?
The VLX 500 includes a manufacturer warranty through ViewLux covering the frame, hardware, and glass. The warranty is honored only when the window is installed by an authorized installation partner using manufacturer-specified methods. Hale Windows West Covina installs per AAMA standards, so your warranty protection stays intact. We’ll walk you through the full warranty terms before you sign.
Can I customize the size of the VLX 500?
Yes. While the VLX 500 is offered in standard widths and heights, it can be ordered in custom dimensions to fit existing rough openings or new construction plans. Non-standard sizes may affect lead time and pricing. Call (707) 506-0502 and we’ll measure your openings and provide exact dimensions and a written quote.
How do I maintain aluminum frames?
Aluminum frames require almost no maintenance beyond periodic wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap. The powder-coated finishes on the VLX 500 resist fading and chipping. Check the weatherstripping once a year for wear and lubricate the tilt-in sash mechanism lightly if needed. We’re always available to answer maintenance questions.
Will the price change once the project starts?
No. Our quotes include fixed pricing for the windows and installation. If we discover hidden issues during the pre-install inspection, we discuss any additional scope and get your approval in writing before proceeding. No surprise line items.
