VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door in West Covina, CA | Hale Windows West Covina
An arched entry door changes how a house reads from the street. The VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door from ViewLux is a CNC-bent aluminum arched entryway, built to your exact opening dimensions rather than adapted from a stock size. It’s the kind of door you see on custom homes in South Hills or up toward Walnut and immediately understand why the builder spent the extra money. Hale Windows West Covina is an authorized ViewLux installation partner, which means we order the door directly to specification and install it to the manufacturer’s requirements so the warranty stays intact. For pricing on a custom arched door in West Covina, call (707) 506-0502.
Product Overview – VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
The VLX 100 series exists for one reason: most door manufacturers won’t touch a true arch. They’ll sell you a rectangular door with a half-round transom stacked on top, and from inside the house it looks fine, but from the curb it’s two separate pieces pretending to be one. The VLX 100 is a single curved frame, CNC-bent from aluminum extrusions so the radius holds true across the entire span. There’s no seam at the spring line, no awkward transition where the arc meets the jamb.
Why buyers choose this series comes down to control. You give us the rough opening dimensions and the radius you want, and ViewLux fabricates the frame to those numbers. The result is a curved architectural statement with structural precision, which matters in a city like West Covina where homes range from 1950s ranches to newer Mediterranean-style builds on the hillsides. A true arched entry suits both, provided the scale is right. We help you work through that math before the order goes in.
The materials are commercial-grade aluminum with a wall thickness of 0.098 inches, which is heavier than the extrusion you’ll find on a typical residential patio door. The frame profile measures 2.56 inches across the face, giving the door visual weight without looking industrial. Inside the extrusion, ViewLux includes a thermal break so the metal doesn’t conduct summer heat directly into your foyer. That’s a detail you feel in August in West Covina, when southwest-facing entries get hammered by afternoon sun.
Technical Specifications
Here are the numbers that matter on the VLX 100, in plain language. If you’re comparing this door against other arched options in West Covina, these are the specs to put side by side.
- Frame wall thickness: 0.098″ aluminum extrusion, which resists racking and keeps the arched section from flattening over time.
- Frame profile width: 2.56″ face width, a substantial sightline that reads as a true architectural entry rather than a retrofit.
- Maximum span: Custom fabricated to order, so there is no set maximum. The arch radius and opening width are built to your home’s dimensions.
- Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, Laminated. Tempered is standard for full-lite doors; laminated is available for impact resistance.
- Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, Teak Wood.
- Installation standard: AAMA 2400/2410 compliant, with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealing every perimeter joint.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency
The VLX 100 frame carries a thermal break that separates interior and exterior aluminum surfaces, cutting conductive heat transfer through the metal. When paired with Low-E glass, the door meets NFRC-rated energy performance levels expected in Southern California climate zones. A steel door without a break gets noticeably hot to the touch on a West Covina afternoon; this one doesn’t.
Acoustic Performance
Aluminum frames with a tight perimeter seal and laminated glass do real work against traffic noise. Homes along Amar Road or near the 10 freeway corridor in West Covina deal with constant background hum. The VLX 100’s seal package, combined with laminated glass if you choose it, brings measurable sound control to an entry that most people assume will always be the loudest point in the house.
Airtightness & Weather Seal
Perimeter joints get AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant, which fills voids without exerting pressure that could bow the frame. The result is a continuous air seal around the entire arched profile, including the curve, which is where sloppy installations fail. Airtightness ratings on this assembly hold even on windy hilltop lots above West Covina.
Waterproofing
An arched door has a gravity problem: water runs down the curve and wants to pool at the base corners. The VLX 100’s sill and threshold details handle this, but only if the frame is set dead level and sealed per AAMA 2400/2410. Hale Windows West Covina performs a water test after installation, running water across the full arc and sill before we call the job done.
Wind Resistance
West Covina sits far enough inland that hurricane ratings aren’t required, but the hills above the city see real gusts during Santa Ana events. The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for local climate requirements, and the 0.098″ wall thickness means the arched members hold their shape under pressure cycles that would rack a thinner frame.
Security & Hardware
The door comes with a multipoint hardware prep, meaning the lock throws at multiple points along the frame rather than a single deadbolt. That spreads force across the full height of the panel, which matters even more on an arched door where the top of the leaf is narrower. Impact-resistant laminated glass is available for homeowners who want glass that holds together under a blow.
Color & Glass Options
Finish selection changes the entire personality of the door. Premium Black is the strongest modern statement and reads beautifully against white stucco, which covers most of West Covina’s housing stock. Pure White disappears into a light facade and lets the arch itself do the talking. Anodized Silver has an industrial honesty to it, and it’s the finish we recommend for homeowners who don’t want to think about maintenance, since anodizing is harder than paint. Bronze and Champagne both read as warm metals; Champagne in particular has a softness that works with traditional Mediterranean details like clay tile roofs and wrought iron. Teak Wood is a wood-grain finish over aluminum, giving the warmth of a timber door without the swelling, warping, or refinishing that wood demands in Southern California’s dry heat.
Glass follows the same logic of matching the house. Clear is the default when you want the door to be all about the frame. Frosted and Obscure give privacy while letting light through, ideal for entries that face the street directly. Low-E cuts solar gain, which matters on a west-facing front door in West Covina. Tempered glass is standard for safety on full-lite doors, and Laminated adds a layer that holds shards in place if the glass breaks.
Installation by Hale Windows West Covina in West Covina
A custom arched door is only as good as the crew that puts it in. We’ve replaced doors in West Covina where the frame was beautifully fabricated and the installation undercut it: out of square, shimmed wrong, caulked instead of foam-sealed. The result is always the same: the door binds, the sweep fails, water finds a way in, and the manufacturer warranty dies on arrival because the install didn’t meet spec.
Our process starts before the order is placed. We measure the opening ourselves, verify the radius, check the floor for level, and confirm the rough opening can carry the weight of a 0.098″ aluminum frame with a full glass lite. Once the door arrives from ViewLux, we set it level, plumb, and square, which is more complicated on an arch than on a rectangle because the curve amplifies any error at the spring line. Every perimeter joint gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, installed per AAMA 2400/2410 standards. We run a water test across the arc, the jambs, and the sill. Only after that passes do we install interior trim and clean the glass.
The climate in West Covina is kind to aluminum, with low humidity and no salt air, but the sun is not kind to cheap sealant. That’s why we use foam and trim systems rated for exterior exposure rather than interior-grade caulk. Your door will sit in direct sun for decades; the perimeter seal has to be built for that.
If you’re considering having an existing arched door replaced and a contractor wants to build a custom wood frame on site, understand what you’re trading. Site-built wood arches depend on the carpenter’s skill, and wood moves. The VLX 100 is fabricated on CNC equipment to a tolerance a jobsite cannot match. That’s the difference, and it’s why we partner with ViewLux for this product specifically.
Frequently Asked Questions – VLX 100 Arched / Custom Door
Expect 8 to 12 weeks from final signed drawings to delivery at our West Covina warehouse. Because each arched door is fabricated to your opening’s exact dimensions, there is no off-the-shelf version to pull from inventory. We confirm the lead time in writing when you approve the order.
The door itself may qualify for certain energy-efficiency rebates depending on the glass package you select and the current federal or California incentive programs available in West Covina. The frame’s thermal break and Low-E glass options are the two factors that affect eligibility. Call (707) 506-0502 and we’ll walk you through what applies to your specific configuration.
ViewLux backs the door with a manufacturer warranty that covers the frame, finish, and glass, provided the installation is performed by an authorized partner like Hale Windows West Covina. We handle warranty registration and any claims, so you’re not fighting a phone tree if a seal fails.
Yes. That’s the entire point of the series. You provide the width, height, and arch radius, and ViewLux fabricates the frame to those numbers. The arch can be a true half-circle, an eyebrow radius, or a shallow spring-line curve. We verify measurements on site in West Covina before the order goes to fabrication.
Wash the frame with mild soap and water twice a year, and wipe down the glass track and sill to keep debris from collecting. The finish does not need painting or sealing. Avoid abrasive cleaners on anodized finishes, since they’ll dull the surface. That’s the entire maintenance routine on a VLX 100 in West Covina’s climate.
