VLX 80 Casement Window in Fort Lauderdale, FL | Juniper Windows Fort Lauderdale
The VLX 80 Casement Window is a side-hinged aluminum window built around two things Fort Lauderdale homeowners ask for most: a clean, almost frameless view and a window that actually catches the ocean breeze when it swings open. Juniper Windows Fort Lauderdale is an authorized ViewLux installation partner, which means you get the factory product with a local install team that stands behind it. We measure, order, install, and service these windows across Fort Lauderdale, from Victoria Park to Rio Vista. Call (754) 354-1396 for a free project estimate.
Product Overview – VLX 80 Casement Window
The VLX 80 is the window you choose when the view matters as much as the window itself. The frame profile is just 1.97 inches wide, so the glass is the dominant surface. You get an ultra-narrow sightline that reads more like a picture frame than a window frame. Because the sash cranks outward on side hinges instead of sliding, the entire opening vents. On a winter afternoon in Fort Lauderdale when the humidity drops and the air finally moves, that full ventilation is the whole point.
The frame is aluminum, which handles South Florida’s heat, rain, and salt air better than vinyl or wood over a 20-year lifespan. It won’t rot, warp, or swell. The wall thickness is 0.079 inches, which gives the frame real structural rigidity without visual bulk. We see these windows specified on mid-century modern homes in Sailboat Bend, contemporary builds in Las Olas Isles, and high-rise condo replacements along Galt Ocean Mile where the HOA requires a specific look and wind rating.
What separates the VLX 80 from entry-level aluminum windows is the thermal break built into the frame. Aluminum conducts heat. A thermal break interrupts that conduction, which keeps the interior side of the frame cooler in a Fort Lauderdale summer and dramatically improves the window’s energy performance. More on that below. The bottom line: this is the series for someone who wants a casement window with European-level engineering that’s still practical for coastal Florida.
Technical Specifications
Here’s the VLX 80 at a glance. If you’re comparing windows across manufacturers, these are the numbers that matter.
- Frame material: Thermally broken aluminum, 1.97″ profile width
- Aluminum wall thickness: 0.079″
- Operation: Side-hinged casement with crank or push-out hardware
- Glass packages: Clear, Frosted, Low-E, Tempered, Laminated
- Impact option: Laminated impact-resistant glass for wind-borne debris zones
- Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, Teak Wood
- Screen options: Fixed Screen, Retractable Screen
- Sill options: Standard Sill, Low-Profile Sill
- Energy rating: NFRC-rated with thermal break technology
- Installation standard: AAMA 2400/2410 compliant, AAMA 812 perimeter sealant
- Wind load: Rated to meet Fort Lauderdale and Broward County wind requirements
Custom sizing is available. This window is built to your rough opening, not sold off a shelf in standard increments. That matters when you’re replacing windows in a 1950s built-for-Florida home where nothing is perfectly square.
Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency – The thermal break in the VLX 80 frame interrupts the aluminum’s heat conduction path. Combined with Low-E glass, the window carries an NFRC rating you can compare directly against other products. For a Fort Lauderdale homeowner running air conditioning ten months a year, this is where the window pays you back.
Acoustic Performance – If you live along Federal Highway, near the Brightline tracks, or under the FLL flight path, sound control isn’t optional. Laminated glass in particular cuts high-frequency noise significantly. The multi-point locking system also pulls the sash tight against the weatherstripping, which closes the small air gaps that leak sound.
Airtightness & Weather Seal – Casement windows seal better than sliders by design. The crank mechanism compresses the sash against the frame gasket around the entire perimeter. When our team installs per AAMA 2400/2410 and seals the rough opening with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, the assembly resists air infiltration that would otherwise pull conditioned air out of your home.
Waterproofing – Fort Lauderdale gets 60-plus inches of rain a year, often sideways. The VLX 80’s sill design directs water away from the interior, and the compression seal prevents water entry when the window is closed. We add an AAMA 812 foam seal on every perimeter joint so water never finds a path behind the frame.
Wind Resistance – Broward County is in the high-velocity hurricane zone. When ordered with laminated impact glass, the VLX 80 is rated to meet local wind-load requirements. Meaning it’s engineered to take a direct hit from wind-borne debris and keep the building envelope intact.
Security & Hardware – The multi-point lock engages at several locations along the sash, not just one latch in the middle. That makes the window significantly harder to pry open from the outside than a single-latch sliding window. The hardware is stainless steel and corrosion-resistant, which is non-negotiable within a few miles of Fort Lauderdale’s salt air.
Color & Glass Options
The VLX 80 comes in six finishes. Premium Black and Anodized Silver are the most requested on modern Fort Lauderdale homes with white stucco or concrete exteriors. Pure White works well on traditional coastal styles, and it’s often the right call for HOA approvals. Bronze and Champagne read warmer, pairing nicely with natural stone and wood accents. Teak Wood is a family favorite in Broward County: it delivers the warmth of a wood window without the maintenance.
On the glass side, Clear is the baseline. Frosted glass works for bathrooms and side elevations where privacy matters. Low-E is what we recommend for almost every Fort Lauderdale installation: it cuts solar heat gain while preserving visible light, which matters on west-facing walls. Tempered glass is the safety-glass requirement for windows near doors and low sills. Laminated glass is the upgrade that adds impact resistance and serious noise reduction. You can combine Low-E and Laminated on a single unit when both energy and impact matter.
Installation by Juniper Windows Fort Lauderdale in Fort Lauderdale
Installation is where aluminum windows win or lose. A factory-perfect window installed poorly will leak, fog, and underperform. And the manufacturer warranty typically does not cover failures caused by improper installation. That’s the practical reason we install every VLX 80 we sell rather than handing it off to a sub-contractor: we want the warranty to mean something.
Every project starts with a pre-install inspection. We measure the rough opening, check the wall cavity for moisture or rot, and verify the existing frame condition before ordering. In older Fort Lauderdale homes, especially in Coral Ridge and Poinsettia Heights, we regularly find water damage behind original aluminum frames that never got a proper seal. That gets addressed before the new window goes in.
On install day, the window gets set level, plumb, and square. We shim as needed and don’t rely on the fasteners to pull the frame into alignment. The perimeter joints are sealed with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, which expands to fill the gap without distorting the frame. Then the exterior gets flashed and sealed, and the interior gets trimmed out clean. We follow AAMA 2400/2410 installation standards on every job, which matters in Fort Lauderdale where wind-driven rain will find any shortcut.
After the window is set, we run a water test on the exterior and operate the sash through multiple cycles to confirm the seal is seating correctly. Then we clean up, haul the old windows away, and walk you through operation and maintenance. You should feel confident cranking that window open the day we leave.
Frequently Asked Questions – VLX 80 Casement Window
Lead time typically runs 3 to 5 weeks from final measurement to delivery at our Fort Lauderdale warehouse, depending on glass package and finish. Custom sizes and laminated impact glass can add a week or two. We’ll give you a firm production timeline when you place the order. Call (754) 354-1396 and we’ll walk you through it.
The VLX 80 may qualify for federal energy tax credits when ordered with Low-E glass that meets the applicable U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient thresholds. Qualification depends on the specific glass package and the current program requirements. We’ll provide the documentation you need at purchase. Call (754) 354-1396 and we’ll confirm what applies to your job.
ViewLux provides a manufacturer warranty on the frame, glass, and hardware, and Juniper Windows Fort Lauderdale backs our installation work with a separate workmanship warranty. The manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials and manufacturing, not installation errors, which is why using an authorized partner protects you on both fronts. We’ll give you the full written warranty terms with your quote.
Yes. The VLX 80 is built to your opening, not to a fixed set of stock sizes. That makes it a strong choice for replacement work in Fort Lauderdale homes with non-standard openings, and for new construction where the architect specified something specific. Very large openings may need tempered glass due to code requirements, and we’ll flag that during the measurement visit.
Aluminum frames need almost nothing beyond occasional cleaning with mild soap and water. The bigger maintenance item in coastal Fort Lauderdale is washing salt residue off the exterior surfaces and lubricating the crank mechanism once a year with a silicone-based lubricant. Check the weep holes at the bottom of the frame stay clear. Do that, and the VLX 80 should look and operate like new for 20-plus years.
