VLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window in Fort Worth, TX | Juniper Windows Fort Worth
The VLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window is a classic vertical-glide aluminum window built for homes that need reliable airflow, clean sightlines, and a frame that won’t warp in Texas heat. It comes in single hung (top sash fixed, bottom sash slides) and double hung (both sashes move). We install this series throughout Fort Worth, TX because it holds up to the region’s temperature swings without the sticking or sagging you see in vinyl frames after a few brutal summers. As an authorized ViewLux installation partner, Juniper Windows Fort Worth offers this product with factory-backed warranty coverage and installation performed to AAMA standards. Call (682) 354-9300 to schedule a free on-site measurement and quote.
Product Overview – VLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window
The VLX 500 is what most Fort Worth homeowners picture when they think of a bedroom or kitchen window: two sashes stacked vertically, gliding on smooth tracks, with tilt-in functionality so you can clean both sides of the glass without climbing a ladder. The single hung version locks the top sash in place, which trims cost and simplifies operation. The double hung gives you ventilation from the top, bottom, or both at once, which matters in a climate where you might want hot air escaping high while cooler air comes in low.
Aluminum is the defining material here. The extruded frame profiles are slim, so you get more glass area per window opening compared to bulky vinyl or wood frames. That’s a real advantage in Fort Worth where natural light matters and oversized window openings are common in both mid-century ranch homes and newer builds in neighborhoods like Arlington Heights, TCU-Westcliff, and Walsh Ranch. The aluminum resists rot, termites, and the UV-driven expansion that makes vinyl brittle over time. With a wall thickness of 0.079 inches, the VLX 500 frame stays rigid through repeated use, and the 2.36-inch profile width keeps sightlines clean while still accommodating proper glazing depth for insulated glass units.
The tilt-in sash mechanism is a practical detail. Both sashes (double hung) or the operable sash (single hung) tilt inward for cleaning and any glass replacement down the road. No more hiring a crew to wash second-story windows from the outside. For Fort Worth homes with brick exteriors and second floors, that’s a maintenance win.
Technical Specifications
- Frame wall thickness: 0.079-inch extruded aluminum, built for rigidity and long-term operation without flex.
- Profile width: 2.36-inch frame depth, compatible with standard rough openings and typical Fort Worth residential wall assemblies.
- Glass options: Clear, Frosted, Low-E, Tempered, Laminated. Insulated glass units available in all configurations.
- Finish options: Premium Black, Pure White, Anodized Silver, Bronze, Champagne, and Teak Wood. Durable powder-coat and anodized finishes resist fading and chalking under North Texas UV exposure.
- Screen options: Half-Screen (covers lower sash only, common in Fort Worth where upper-sash ventilation keeps screens cleaner) and Full Screen (full window coverage).
- Operation: Single hung (bottom sash operable) or double hung (both sashes operable). Tilt-in sashes on operable units.
- Thermal break: Factory-installed thermal barrier in the frame, rated under NFRC standards for energy performance.

Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency
The VLX 500 uses a thermal break inside the aluminum frame to interrupt heat transfer from the outside to the inside. Combined with Low-E glass, this setup earns NFRC ratings that meet or exceed Texas energy code requirements for the Fort Worth climate zone. You get lower summer cooling bills without switching to vinyl.
Acoustic Performance
Aluminum frames with properly sealed insulated glass units reduce outside noise more than single-pane or builder-grade options. If you live near I-30, I-35W, the Chisholm Trail Parkway, or any of Fort Worth’s busy rail corridors, the sound control difference is noticeable in bedrooms and home offices.
Airtightness & Weather Seal
The VLX 500’s multi-point weatherstripping system runs along the full perimeter of each sash, blocking drafts that drive up HVAC costs. Every window we install in Fort Worth gets tested for air leakage after mounting, and the frame’s compression seals hold their shape through seasonal expansion and contraction cycles.
Waterproofing
We apply AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant to every perimeter joint during installation. This isn’t a squirt-and-go process. It’s a continuous seal that prevents water intrusion even during Fort Worth’s heaviest spring downpours and the wind-driven rain that accompanies North Texas thunderstorms.
Wind Resistance
The VLX 500 is wind-load rated for the Fort Worth area, which sits on the edge of Texas’ high-wind zones. The 0.079-inch aluminum wall thickness and reinforced meeting rails keep the frame from bowing or leaking during straight-line winds and gust fronts that roll through in April and May. For extra protection, laminated glass pushes impact resistance higher.
Security & Hardware
The VLX 500 uses solid locking mechanisms at the meeting rail, not plastic catches. Aluminum frames accept multi-point locks that engage at both sides of the sash, which makes the window meaningfully harder to pry open from outside. Combined with laminated glass, this series offers a genuine security upgrade for ground-floor windows in Fort Worth.
Color & Glass Options
The six finish options cover almost every Fort Worth architectural style without compromise. Pure White and Anodized Silver match the clean traditional look that dominates neighborhoods like Berkeley Place and Mistletoe Heights. Premium Black is the go-to for modern white-brick homes and the contemporary builds trending in areas like River Trails and Crawford Farms. It creates a striking contrast against pale brick and stucco. Bronze and Champagne work beautifully on ranch homes with warm earth tones, a common sight across East Fort Worth and Watauga-area neighborhoods. Teak Wood offers a wood-look finish without the maintenance, ideal for homeowners who love the warmth of wood windows but don’t want to strip and repaint frames every few years in the Texas sun.
For glass, Clear keeps things simple and bright. Low-E is our standard recommendation in Fort Worth. It costs more up front, but the summer energy savings and UV protection for furniture and floors make it the smart default. Tempered glass is required by code for safety in certain locations like doors, low windows, and windows near bathtubs. Laminated glass adds impact resistance and significant noise reduction, worth considering if you’re near highways, railroad tracks, or if you want the strongest practical security. Frosted works for bathrooms, garage-side windows, or any spot where you want natural light without visibility.
Installation by Juniper Windows Fort Worth in Fort Worth
We’ve seen what happens when cheap installation meets Fort Worth weather. Gaps open around the frame. Caulk fails. Air leaks in. Water follows. The window itself might be perfectly manufactured, but the install was wrong, and the owner is stuck with a sagging, leaking window that no manufacturer warranty will cover. That’s the reality of improper installation: it voids the warranty. Period.
Our process starts before the window ever arrives. We measure every opening, check for plumb and square on the rough framing, and identify any rot, moisture, or structural issues that need addressing first. Fort Worth homes range from 1950s ranch builds to new construction, and each era has its own quirks. Older brick homes often have masonry openings that shifted over time. Newer homes sometimes have rough openings that were framed quickly and need adjustment.
When we set the VLX 500, we follow the AAMA 2400/2410 installation standard. That means level, plumb, and square on every single unit. Not close. Not “good enough.” The window gets shimmed and anchored correctly so the sashes glide smoothly from day one and keep gliding ten years later. We seal the entire perimeter with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant, which expands to fill voids but doesn’t warp the frame. Then we flash and cap the exterior to integrate with your existing siding, brick, or stucco.
After installation, we run a water test and a visual air-leak check on every window. We clean the glass. We haul off the old windows. You get a written record of the installation standards we followed. The ViewLux manufacturer warranty stays intact because the installation meets the requirements the factory expects.
Frequently Asked Questions – VLX 500 Single & Double Hung Window
The VLX 500 typically ships within 2 to 4 weeks from order confirmation, depending on the glass configuration and finish you select. Custom sizes and laminated glass can add a week or two. We’ll give you a firm timeframe when you place your order. Call (682) 354-9300 and we’ll confirm current availability for your exact specs.
When configured with Low-E glass and thermal break framing, the VLX 500 may qualify for federal energy efficiency tax credits for window replacements completed through the end of the tax year. Eligibility depends on the exact glass package and NFRC ratings for your climate zone. We can provide the ratings documentation you’ll need for your accountant. Call (682) 354-9300 for specifics on your project.
The VLX 500 carries ViewLux’s manufacturer warranty on the frame, finish, and glass seal, with coverage terms that vary by component. Since Juniper Windows Fort Worth installs to AAMA 2400/2410 standards, your warranty stays valid for the full term. If the window is installed incorrectly by someone else, the manufacturer can deny claims. Call (682) 354-9300 and we’ll walk you through the exact warranty terms for your configuration.
The VLX 500 is available in both standard and custom sizes, so yes, we can build windows to fit your specific rough openings without reframing them. Fort Worth homes rarely have perfectly uniform window rough openings, especially in older neighborhoods, and custom sizing means you’re not paying a carpenter to modify framing just to fit a stock window. We’ll measure every opening during your free on-site consultation. Call (682) 354-9300 to schedule yours.
Aluminum windows in Fort Worth need very little upkeep. Wipe down the frames and tracks twice a year with a damp cloth, clear any debris or dirt from the sill drainage channels, and lubricate the sash track with a dry silicone spray annually. The powder-coated and anodized finishes never need painting. If your home has hard water from the Fort Worth municipal supply, you may want to clean the glass with a vinegar solution to prevent mineral buildup near sprinkler overspray.
