VLX 80 Awning Window in Orlando, FL | Westlight Windows Orlando
The VLX 80 Awning Window is a top-hinged aluminum window that opens outward from the bottom, letting you run ventilation even during one of Orlando’s afternoon downpours. Rain hits the glass and slides off while fresh air flows in. We install this exact window across Orlando homes because it solves a real problem here: you want airflow, but the weather doesn’t always cooperate. As an authorized ViewLux installation partner, Westlight Windows Orlando supplies and installs this window with factory-backed warranty protection. Call (850) 493-7894 to discuss your project or schedule a free measurement.
Product Overview – VLX 80 Awning Window
The VLX 80 is built around a simple idea. You should be able to open a window when it’s raining without water coming in. The top-hinged design makes that possible, and it’s why this awning window series has become a favorite for Orlando homeowners who are tired of choosing between stale air and a wet sill.
Architecturally, the VLX 80 fits where you need light and airflow without a big visual interruption. We see it specified for kitchen windows above counters, bathroom windows where privacy matters, and stacked configurations in modern great rooms. The clean sightlines work well on both contemporary homes in Baldwin Park and mid-century ranches in College Park. The aluminum frame offers a narrow profile that maximizes glass area while keeping the structural strength Florida windows need.
The frame extrusion has a wall thickness of 0.079 inches, which gives the window a solid, stiff feel when you operate it. The profile width measures 1.97 inches, slim enough to look sharp but substantial enough to carry the thermal break and weather seals properly. Buyers choose this series because it does not flex, warp, or sag the way some budget vinyl alternatives do after a few Orlando summers.
For Westlight Windows Orlando, the appeal is straightforward: it is a window engineered to perform, and we get to install it the right way. No shortcuts. No “good enough.” Call (850) 493-7894 if you want to see one in person.

Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency. The VLX 80 uses a polyamide thermal break between the interior and exterior aluminum faces. That break stops heat from conducting through the frame, which matters in Orlando where the sun works against your AC from March through November. NFRC-rated glass packages with Low-E coatings complete the energy picture, and a well-sealed awning window keeps conditioned air where it belongs.
Acoustic Performance. Awning windows close tight against a full perimeter gasket. That compression seal is why this series performs well on sound control. Homeowners near Kirkman Road, I-4, or the airport corridors in Orlando notice the difference immediately. Laminated glass options take the noise reduction further, and we regularly recommend that combination for bedrooms facing busy streets.
Airtightness & Weather Seal. The VLX 80’s compression gasket system does something sliding windows cannot: it seals tighter as wind pushes against the sash. In Orlando’s storm season, that is not a nice-to-have. It is the reason we point buyers toward awning windows for second-story and exposure-heavy elevations. No drafts. No whistling. No air leakage you pay for on your electric bill.
Waterproofing. The top-hinged configuration means the sash acts as a small awning over the opening. Rain that hits the window slides down the glass and away from the interior. Combined with the gasket compression and a properly installed AAMA 812 perimeter seal, the VLX 80 keeps water outside where it belongs. For Orlando’s daily summer storms, this design just makes sense.
Wind Resistance. The aluminum extrusion and corner construction give the VLX 80 the rigidity required for Central Florida wind loads. Laminated impact glass is available for homes that need or want hurricane-grade protection. We will help you determine whether your Orlando property requires impact-rated glazing based on your zone and building code. Call (850) 493-7894 and we will walk through it.
Security & Hardware. The hardware on this awning window is simple, durable, and hard to defeat from the outside. The crank mechanism locks the sash into place when closed, and the top-hinged design means even a partially open window is difficult to pry. Multi-point locking hardware is part of what makes aluminum awning windows a smart choice for ground-floor rooms in Orlando neighborhoods like Thornton Park or Delaney Park.
Color & Glass Options
The VLX 80 comes in six finishes, and the choice changes the entire look of the opening. On modern Orlando homes, we see a lot of Premium Black and Anodized Silver. Premium Black gives a sharp, architectural contrast against white or light stucco. Anodized Silver reads clean and commercial, which suits contemporary builds in areas like Lake Nona. Pure White is the safe, classic choice for traditional Florida homes, and it disappears into white trim. Bronze and Champagne offer warmer metallic options that pair well with earth-tone exteriors. Teak Wood is a specialty finish that mimics the warmth of wood without the humidity-driven rot and termite issues that plague real wood frames in Orlando’s climate.
Glass selection depends on where the window goes. Clear glass is the budget-conscious baseline. Frosted glass suits bathrooms and any window facing a neighbor or walkway, which is common in tighter Orlando lots like those in Audubon Park. Low-E is the one upgrade we recommend for nearly every Orlando installation because it cuts solar heat gain without making the room feel dark. Tempered glass meets code for windows near doors and low sill heights. Laminated glass gives you impact resistance and the best acoustic performance.
Installation by Westlight Windows Orlando in Orlando
You can buy the best window in the world, and a poor installation will ruin it. That is not an exaggeration. Misaligned frames bind and leak. Unsealed perimeters let Orlando’s humidity and driving rain into the wall cavity. Screws overdriven into aluminum tear the extrusion. Any of these mistakes voids the manufacturer warranty, and the homeowner is left holding the repair bill.
Westlight Windows Orlando installs the VLX 80 to the AAMA 2400/2410 installation standard on every job. Here is what that looks like in practice.
We start with a pre-install inspection. We measure the opening, check the rough framing for rot or water damage, and confirm the sill is level before the old window comes out. If the rough opening is not square, we correct it now, not after the window is in the wall and binding. The VLX 80 arrives, and we set it level, plumb, and square. Every measurement gets checked. A window that is even slightly out of square will not seal correctly.
Next comes the perimeter seal. We use AAMA 812 low-expansion foam on every joint around the frame. The key word is low-expansion. Standard expanding foam can bow an aluminum frame. AAMA 812-rated product stays put without distorting the extrusion. After the foam cures, we flash the exterior, run a final water test to confirm no leaks, and clean up the site. You should not know we were there except for the new window.
Orlando brings its own considerations. The humidity here never lets up. The afternoon thunderstorms come like clockwork from June through September. And the sun loads on west-facing walls are brutal. All of this is why we install with the assumption that every window will face wind-driven rain at some point. If you are replacing windows in an older Orlando home, we also check for latent moisture issues in the framing before we close anything up. Call (850) 493-7894 to schedule a free on-site measurement and walkthrough.
Frequently Asked Questions – VLX 80 Awning Window
Lead times for VLX 80 Awning Windows typically run three to six weeks from order confirmation, depending on glass type, finish, and current production volume at ViewLux. Custom sizes and specialty glass like laminated or frosted can push toward the longer end of that range. Since every window Westlight Windows Orlando orders is cut to your specific opening dimensions, we confirm the lead time at quote stage and keep you updated if anything changes. Call (850) 493-7894 for a current estimate on your project.
The VLX 80 can qualify for federal energy tax credits when configured with an NFRC-rated Low-E glass package that meets the efficiency thresholds for the tax year in question. The key is to retain your documentation, since the IRS requires proof of the window’s NFRC ratings and installation. We can help you understand which glass options meet the current criteria for Orlando installations. Call (850) 493-7894 and we will point you to the right information.
The VLX 80 Awning Window carries the manufacturer’s warranty from ViewLux, which covers the frame, glass, and hardware against manufacturing defects. The catch is that the warranty is only valid if the window is installed correctly by an authorized partner. Improper installation voids coverage. Westlight Windows Orlando is an authorized ViewLux installation partner, so your warranty stays intact. Call (850) 493-7894 and we will walk you through exactly what is covered.
Yes, every VLX 80 is fabricated to the exact opening dimensions you need. These are not off-the-shelf stock windows. This matters in older Orlando homes where rough openings are rarely perfectly standard. We measure on site, verify the framing, and order the window to fit. Call (850) 493-7894 to schedule a free measurement.
Aluminum frames need very little maintenance, which is part of why they work so well in Orlando’s climate. Wipe the frames down with mild soap and water a couple of times a year, clean the glass as usual, and keep the drain channels clear of debris. The finish does not require painting or sealing. If a seal fails or hardware wears over the years, we are still here. Call (850) 493-7894 for any service needs.
