VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door

VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door in Deerfield Beach, FL | TruePane Windows & Doors

The VLX 100 Double Swing French Door is a paired aluminum door system built for wide openings, clean sightlines, and daily use that doesn’t quit. You see this door most often in Deerfield Beach homes where the living room opens to a lanai, patio, or pool deck, and where homeowners want both panels to swing freely instead of dealing with a fixed side. What sets this door apart is the engineering: a 0.098″ wall thickness on the aluminum profile, a flush threshold you can walk over without tripping, and multi-point lock hardware that anchors the door at three points along the frame. TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized ViewLux installation partner serving Deerfield Beach, which means you get the factory product, the factory warranty, and a local crew that installs it right.

Product Overview - VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door

Paired aluminum French doors with symmetrical sightlines, a flush threshold, and multi-point lock hardware. That’s the short version. The longer version is that this is a door designed for people who want the classic French door look without the slow decline you get from wood or vinyl in South Florida. Both panels are active on the VLX 100, meaning you can open one side for everyday traffic or swing both fully open for a wide passage up to 96 inches across. The sightlines match from panel to panel, so the door reads as one continuous glass wall when closed, not two mismatched pieces.

Architecturally, the VLX 100 works in modern Deerfield Beach builds with flat roofs and clean horizontal lines, but it also holds its own on 1970s ranch homes getting a long-overdue upgrade. The aluminum frame keeps its shape in humidity. It won’t swell in August or shrink in January the way wood does. The profile is narrow enough at 2.56 inches wide to maximize glass area, but the 0.098″ extrusion wall gives it structural weight. Buyers choose this series over hollow-feel alternatives because the door has heft when it swings, and because the hardware engages with a solid, mechanical click rather than a flimsy latch.

ViewLux engineered this door for coastal climates. TruePane Windows & Doors brings it to Deerfield Beach homes and installs it to survive here. If you’re replacing a slider or an old hinged door that sticks, warps, or leaks during summer storms, this is the upgrade conversation worth having. Call (786) 743-5882 and we’ll walk you through the options.

Technical Specifications

Here’s what the VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door brings to the table, in plain numbers:

• Frame wall thickness: 0.098 inch, the thickest extrusion in its class. This is what keeps the frame from flexing in high wind.
• Profile sightline: 2.56 inches, slim enough for modern curb appeal but deep enough to carry a heavy glass pack.
• Maximum span: 96 inches total opening width when both panels are active.
• Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Obscure, Low-E, Tempered, and Laminated impact glass. Mix and match per panel.
• Frame finishes: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, and Teak Wood. Powder-coated or anodized depending on finish.
• Screen options: Retractable screen or none. Most Deerfield Beach buyers skip the screen if they have a screened lanai already.
• Sill configuration: Flush threshold standard, which makes the transition from interior floor to exterior surface nearly level.

The combination that moves the most in Deerfield Beach right now is Premium Black frame with Low-E tempered glass, no screen, flush threshold. It photographs beautifully and performs even better. That said, we quote every configuration, so don’t let popularity drive your decision without seeing the samples. Call (786) 743-5882 to set up a showroom-style consult at your home.

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency – The VLX 100 uses a thermal break inside the aluminum frame, which separates the interior and exterior metal and slows heat transfer. Add Low-E glass and the door earns an NFRC-rated energy performance score that holds up in a Deerfield Beach August when your air conditioner is running around the clock.

Acoustic Performance – The combination of laminated glass and a tight perimeter seal means the door cuts sound, not just drafts. Homes on Hillsboro Boulevard or anywhere near Federal Highway notice the difference immediately: traffic noise drops to a low murmur when the door closes.

Airtightness & Weather Seal – Every perimeter joint gets AAMA 812-certified low-expansion foam sealant during installation. That means no gaps for conditioned air to leak out, no gaps for outside air to creep in, and a continuous seal that flexes with the frame rather than cracking.

Waterproofing – The door’s drainage design is tested to keep water moving down and out, never under the threshold. In a climate where a single afternoon thunderstorm can drop two inches of rain, this is the spec that protects your floors.

Wind Resistance – The VLX 100 is wind-load rated for local climate requirements, which in Deerfield Beach means it’s engineered for a place that sits squarely in the high-velocity hurricane zone. Laminated impact glass takes that protection a step further, holding its shape and keeping the envelope sealed even when hit by debris.

Security & Hardware – Multi-point lock hardware means the door engages at three separate points along the frame: top, middle, and bottom. It’s a different league from a single deadbolt. The 0.098″ frame thickness makes forced entry significantly harder than with standard residential door extrusions.

Color & Glass Options

Six frame finishes cover most of the design spectrum you’ll find in Deerfield Beach. Premium Black is the dominant choice for contemporary homes, lending sharp contrast against white stucco or light tile. Pure White disappears into the wall and suits traditional coastal interiors. Anodized Silver has a raw aluminum look that works on mid-century homes and rentals that need durability over personality. Bronze lands between black and brown, warm enough for tan facades without reading dated. Champagne is a lighter warm metallic that pairs well with beige and cream tones. Teak Wood is a wood-grain transfer finish that mimics natural teak without the maintenance or the rot, popular on homes in The Cove where the aesthetic leans tropical.

On glass, Clear gives you unobstructed views of the yard or pool. Frosted diffuses light while keeping privacy for bathrooms or side entries. Obscure does the same with a textured pattern. Low-E is the energy play, reducing UV that fades furniture and heat that taxes your AC. Tempered is safety glass that crumbles rather than shards on impact. Laminated impact glass combines two panes with an adhesive interlayer, which is the option we recommend for any Deerfield Beach opening that faces the water or faces the direction storms usually arrive from. Call (786) 743-5882 and we’ll bring finish chips and glass samples to you.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Deerfield Beach

Here’s the uncomfortable truth about high-end doors in South Florida: the installation matters as much as the product. A $4,000 door poorly installed will leak, bind, and void its warranty faster than a cheap door installed well. That’s why TruePane Windows & Doors follows AAMA 2400/2410 installation standards on every single job, and why we run the same process on the VLX 100 that we run on every door we install in Deerfield Beach.

We start with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. We check the framing, the subfloor, and the existing waterproofing. If the opening is out of square by more than a fraction of an inch, we correct it before the door goes in, because a door can only be as square as the hole it’s set in. Then we set the VLX 100 level, plumb, and square, shimming as needed and anchoring the frame properly. The perimeter gets AAMA 812-certified low-expansion foam sealant on every joint, including the threshold, which is where most failures happen. We flash the exterior, install the drainage system per manufacturer spec, and run a final water test before we call the job done.

Deerfield Beach adds its own layer of requirements. We’re in the high-velocity hurricane zone, so wind-load ratings and impact glass aren’t just nice-to-haves, they’re the law for many openings. Broward County building codes require permits for door replacements, and TruePane Windows & Doors pulls those permits and schedules the inspections. We don’t hand you a form and wish you luck. We handle the whole paper trail, and we pass inspection the first time. Most importantly, our installation keeps your ViewLux manufacturer warranty fully intact, something a handyman install doesn’t do. Call (786) 743-5882 to schedule a free measurement and we’ll walk you through exactly what your opening needs.

Frequently Asked Questions - VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door

What is the lead time for the VLX 100 Double Swing / French Door?

Typical lead time runs 3 to 6 weeks from order to delivery at our Deerfield Beach warehouse, depending on glass selection and finish. Laminated impact glass and less common finishes like Teak Wood or Champagne can push that window to the higher end. Call (786) 743-5882 and we’ll give you a current production estimate before you commit.

Does the VLX 100 qualify for energy tax credits?

Potentially, yes. The VLX 100 with Low-E glass and the thermal break profile can meet the performance thresholds for federal energy efficiency credits. Eligibility depends on the exact glass package and your tax situation. We can provide the NFRC documentation you’d need to evaluate it. Call (786) 743-5882 and ask us for the spec sheet.

What warranty comes with the Double Swing / French Door?

The VLX 100 carries ViewLux’s factory warranty on the frame, glass, and hardware, and TruePane Windows & Doors warrants our installation workmanship separately. Installation defects are the number one warranty killer we see, which is why using an authorized partner matters. Call (786) 743-5882 for warranty specifics on your configuration.

Can I customize the size?

Yes, within structural limits. The VLX 100 spans up to 96 inches wide when both panels are active, but we quote every opening individually. We’ve installed this door in standard 72-inch openings and full-width 96-inch openings in Deerfield Beach, and everything in between. Call (786) 743-5882 with your rough opening dimensions for an exact quote.

How do I maintain aluminum frames?

Wash the frames with mild soap and water every few months, especially if you live near the beach. Salt air builds up on any finish over time. Check the threshold drain holes after heavy rain and keep them clear. The hardware needs no lubrication in most cases. Realistically, an aluminum frame from the VLX 100 will outlast every other component around it. Call (786) 743-5882 if you’re seeing wear and want a professional assessment.
