Product Overview - VLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window

The VLX 500 series is designed around one idea: aluminum strength without the old problems aluminum used to have. Older aluminum windows in Deerfield Beach were notorious for sweating, corroding, and letting conditioned air escape. The VLX 500 addresses all three with a thermally broken frame profile and a beefy 0.079-inch wall thickness that resists racking, bowing, and salt-air fatigue. The profile measures 2.36 inches wide, which gives the window a clean, narrow sightline while still leaving room for insulated glass and robust weatherstripping.

This is the window you choose when you want a hung window that feels solid when you open it. The sashes glide on reliable tracks, and the tilt-in mechanism lets you drop the sash into the room for cleaning without fighting with the frame. In Deerfield Beach, where salt haze builds up on exterior glass quickly, that tilt feature alone changes how often you’ll actually see clearly through your windows. We recommend the VLX 500 for bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, and anywhere you want ventilation without a crank. The double hung config opens top and bottom, which helps pull hot air out at the top while cooler air comes in below.

ViewLux builds this series on the same extrusion line as their commercial-grade product lines, so the metal is dense and the corners are machined, not crimped. When TruePane Windows & Doors installs the VLX 500 in Deerfield Beach, the window arrives pre-assembled with glazing in place. That matters because field-glazed units fail at every seam, not just one. If you’re replacing windows within earshot of I-95 or anywhere near South Dixie Highway, this is the product to look at.

Technical Specifications

Here’s what the VLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window delivers on paper, reframed in plain terms. The wall thickness of 0.079 inches is above the threshold where aluminum sashes start feeling rigid instead of tinny. The 2.36-inch profile keeps the frame slim enough for modern interiors but deep enough to accept proper structural fasteners during install.

• Profile width: 2.36 inches
• Configuration: Single hung or double hung, vertical glide

Performance Features

Thermal Efficiency - The VLX 500 uses a polyamide thermal break between the interior and exterior aluminum, which stops heat from conducting through the metal. In a Deerfield Beach August, that’s the difference between your A/C cycling and running nonstop. NFRC-rated values confirm the energy performance, including solar heat gain numbers that matter in our climate.

Acoustic Performance - Double hung windows in Deerfield Beach face real noise: traffic on Hillsboro Boulevard, sirens from Broward Sheriff, landscaping crews, early-morning garbage trucks. The VLX 500’s airtight construction and laminated glass option reduce sound transmission. We can spec a laminate package for homes near the busier corridors without giving up the hung-window look.

Airtightness & Weather Seal - The sashes press against high-density weatherstripping on all four sides. That seal keeps conditioned air where it belongs and stops humidity from driving through the frame. South Florida air is heavy with moisture ten months a year, and a window that leaks air is also leaking into your monthly FPL bill.

Waterproofing - The VLX 500 is engineered with weep drainage channels that direct water out and away from the interior. The sill is sloped, and the exterior gaskets are designed to shed water before it ever reaches the glass seal. During torrential Deerfield Beach downpours, water management matters more than any other feature.

Wind Resistance - Broward County sits in the high-velocity wind zone, and the VLX 500 is wind-load rated specifically for local requirements. The deep profile and 0.079-inch wall thickness let these windows handle pressure up to code requirements. With laminated impact glass, the units also meet the breakage-resistance standards required by Florida building regulations.

Security & Hardware - Locking mechanisms are integrated into the sash, not screwed on as an afterthought. The double hung version has a lock at the meeting rail that clamps both sashes together, which makes the window significantly harder to force open from outside. Cam locks, reinforced stiles, and the tilt-release mechanism are standard.

Color & Glass Options

The VLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window comes in six finishes, and they’re not all the same white box you see everywhere. Premium Black is the popular choice for modern Deerfield Beach homes and anything going for a coastal-industrial look. Pure White works on traditional South Florida houses, especially condos with existing white trim. Anodized Silver is the classic mid-century aluminum look, and it’s still the most durable finish against UV and salt exposure. Bronze hides water spots well and pairs with earth-tone stucco, while Champagne is subtle and warm without going full gold. Teak Wood reads as replacement wood from the curb but keeps aluminum’s maintenance-free behavior.

On glass, Clear is the economical option. Frosted makes sense for bathrooms and street-facing windows in the Cove where privacy matters. Low-E is the default recommendation for energy-conscious Deerfield Beach homeowners because it cuts heat gain without making the room dark. Tempered glass is a safety requirement near doors and in code-mandated locations. Laminated impact glass is worth serious consideration. It holds together if hit, which matters in a hurricane zone.

Installation by TruePane Windows & Doors in Deerfield Beach

How a window is installed determines how long it lasts and whether the warranty stays valid. TruePane Windows & Doors installs the VLX 500 per AAMA 2400/2410 installation standards, which matter in coastal climates. We follow a consistent process.

First, a field supervisor measures every opening twice. If the opening is out of square, that gets documented and corrected at rough-in, not hidden behind trim. The new VLX 500 goes in level, plumb, and square, with shims placed per the installation standard. No window gets screwed through the sill, and no opening gets filled with trim to disguise a twisted frame.

Then we seal the perimeter with AAMA 812 compliant low-expansion foam. That’s an airtight, waterproof, sound-dampening seal that does not bow the frame as it cures. Low-expansion is important because standard foam pushes the jamb inward and makes the sash bind. We also apply an AAMA-compliant sealant at the exterior perimeter to stop water from entering the wall cavity.

After the interior trim goes in, we run a final water test and an operation check on every unit. Sashes must glide, locks must engage, and the tilt mechanism is cycled. Cleanup includes haul-away of the old windows and debris. In Deerfield Beach, the salt air and intense UV exposure mean the install details at the perimeter are the most important thing we do. A window that’s properly sealed survives decades of storms without leaking. One that isn’t fails at the first season. The workmanship pieces are backed by our install warranty, and the window carries ViewLux’s manufacturer coverage only when installed correctly.
