VLX 80 Casement Window in Miami, FL | Hale Windows Miami
The VLX 80 Casement Window brings together a slim aluminum frame and a side-hinged sash that opens outward for full top-to-bottom ventilation. If you’re replacing windows in Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, or anywhere across Miami, this is the window you choose when you want the narrowest sightlines possible without giving up structural strength. We’re an authorized ViewLux installation partner, which means we don’t just sell this window. We install it to factory spec so the thermal rating, the wind rating, and the warranty all stay intact. Call (786) 442-1123 and we’ll walk you through pricing on the spot.
Product Overview – VLX 80 Casement Window
The VLX 80 is engineered around one idea: when a window is closed, you should see glass, not frame. The profile measures just 1.97 inches wide, which is exceptionally lean for an aluminum casement in the Miami market. When you open it, the entire sash hinges out from the side, catching the coastal breeze the way a fixed window never can.
This series gets specified constantly in modern Miami architecture, particularly in Midtown, the Design District, and new construction along Biscayne Boulevard, where floor-to-ceiling glass is the norm and bulky frames ruin the look. But it’s equally at home in older neighborhoods like Shenandoah or The Roads, where owners want a contemporary replacement window that respects the original opening.
Build quality starts with a 0.079 inch wall thickness on the aluminum extrusion, which gives the frame real torsional stiffness. That matters on casement windows specifically, because the sash hangs from hinges on one side. A flimsy frame will sag over time and the sash stops sealing properly. The VLX 80 frame does not flex under the weight of its own glass, even on wide sashes. That’s what makes it durable in a climate where daily heat cycling, salt air, and hurricane season punish cheap frames relentlessly.
We stock and install this window because it holds up to Miami’s conditions. And honestly, because our customers ask for it by name. They’ve done their research. They know what a 1.97 inch profile looks like next to a bulky 3 inch frame. Call (786) 442-1123 and we’ll show you a sample in person if you’re anywhere in Miami-Dade.

Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency – The VLX 80 uses a thermal break that separates the interior and exterior aluminum faces. Without it, Miami’s summer heat would conduct straight through the frame and into your rooms. With it, the frame’s U-factor stays reasonable and Low-E glass does its job without the frame fighting it.
Acoustic Performance – Casement windows seal hard against the frame on all four sides when closed, and the VLX 80’s multi-point locking system pulls the sash tighter every time you close it. Homes near US-1, I-95, or the airport notice the drop in road noise almost immediately.
Airtightness & Weather Seal – The continuous perimeter gasket compresses evenly when the sash closes, which is what prevents the humidity creep that makes Miami interiors feel sticky. The seal quality here is the main reason casements outperform sliders in airborne dust and moisture control.
Waterproofing – The frame has built-in drainage channels that shed water away from the sill even under driving rain. When we install, every perimeter joint gets AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant. That’s not an upgrade. It’s the standard we use on every Miami job.
Wind Resistance – This window is wind-load rated for the pressures we face in Miami-Dade and Broward. Pair it with impact-rated laminated glass and it becomes a legitimate part of your hurricane protection system, not just a window that holds up to a summer thunderstorm.
Security & Hardware – Multi-point locking hardware engages at the top, bottom, and center of the sash, all driven from a single handle. Unlike a sliding window that can be lifted or jimmied from outside, a locked casement is genuinely difficult to force from the exterior.
Color & Glass Options
The VLX 80 comes in six finishes, and the right choice depends on the architecture of your home in Miami. Premium Black is the most requested finish we sell right now, particularly for modern builds and renovations in Wynwood and Edgewater where dark metal frames against white stucco is the look. Pure White suits traditional Miami Mediterranean homes and anything in the Pinecrest or Palmetto Bay area. Anodized Silver is classic commercial-grade aluminum, popular in mid-century and industrial lofts. Bronze and Champagne read warmer and pair well with wood-tone interiors and older Florida ranch styles. Teak Wood gives you the look of timber without the rot and termite problems that come with real wood frames in Miami’s humidity.
For glass, Clear is the budget-minded baseline. Frosted works well in bathrooms and side yards where you want light without sightlines. Low-E blocks a meaningful portion of Miami’s solar heat gain and is almost always worth the cost in south-facing exposures. Tempered glass is code-required in certain locations, including doors and windows near walking surfaces. Laminated is the impact-rated option we recommend for coastal homes and anyone who wants real hurricane protection without shutters. A lamination layer holds the glass together even if it cracks, so wind and debris stay outside where they belong.
Installation by Hale Windows Miami in Miami
Here’s the part most window companies in Miami gloss over: the best window on the market installed incorrectly will leak, sag, and eventually fail. The VLX 80 is only as good as the crew that puts it in. Improper installation also voids the manufacturer’s warranty, which means if a corner of your frame gets tweaked during a rough removal, ViewLux isn’t covering it. We are.
Every VLX 80 install we do in Miami starts with a pre-install inspection of the rough opening. We check the existing framing for rot, check the header for sag, and confirm the opening dimensions before we ever order glass. When installation day comes, we set every window level, plumb, and square. On a casement, squareness is not cosmetic. If the frame is racked by even a quarter inch, the sash won’t seal evenly and the multi-point hardware will bind.
We seal every perimeter joint with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam, then run a full exterior waterproofing bead. Then we test. We run water over the exterior at pressure, we cycle the sash open and closed, we lock and unlock the hardware to verify smooth engagement. We don’t leave a Miami job site until the window passes both dry and wet tests.
Our crews work to AAMA 2400/2410 installation standards, which is the most current window installation guideline in the industry. Miami-Dade product approval applies to the window, but installation quality is on us. We pull permits when required, and we’ve installed VLX 80 casements in high-rises, single-family homes, and waterfront properties from Aventura down to Cutler Bay. We know how Miami’s salt air and humidity interact with aluminum frames, and we detail every flashing and seal with that in mind.
Frequently Asked Questions – VLX 80 Casement Window
Typical lead time in Miami runs 3 to 5 weeks from the day we confirm measurements and finish selections. Custom sizes and specialty glass, such as laminated impact glass, can add time. We’ll give you a written timeline with your quote so you’re never guessing.
It can. The VLX 80 with Low-E glass typically meets the thermal performance criteria required for residential energy tax credits. Eligibility depends on the exact glass package, orientation, and local Miami climate zone. We’ll confirm whether your chosen configuration qualifies before you sign anything. Call (786) 442-1123 for specifics.
ViewLux covers the frame and hardware under a manufacturer’s warranty, and our installation work is covered by Hale Windows Miami’s own workmanship guarantee. The manufacturer warranty only applies if the window is installed correctly, which is exactly why we install to AAMA 2400/2410 standards and document every step.
Yes. The VLX 80 is manufactured to order, so it’s made for your exact rough opening, not trimmed out of stock sizes. Casements work especially well for wide or unusually shaped openings. We measure every rough opening on site before ordering so the final product fits without filler strips or sloppy gaps.
Aluminum doesn’t rust, but Miami’s salt air will leave a film on frames near the coast if you don’t rinse them. We recommend wiping the frame and gasket track with a mild soap solution every few months and rinsing the exterior with fresh water. Skip abrasive cleaners entirely. They’ll scratch the finish and compromise the resale look.
