VLX 80 Casement Window in Riverside, CA | Westlight Windows Riverside
The VLX 80 casement window is a side-hinged aluminum window with ultra-narrow sightlines and maximum ventilation, built for homeowners in Riverside who want modern European design without giving up the strength aluminum delivers in our hot, dry climate. It opens outward on smooth hardware, giving you full-control airflow and an unobstructed view. Westlight Windows Riverside is an authorized ViewLux installation partner, which means you get the genuine product, installed to spec, backed by a team that stands behind the work.

Product Overview – VLX 80 Casement Window
Casement windows are the workhorses of the window world. Unlike sliders, which always leave half the opening covered, a casement swings fully open and catches the breeze from every angle. That matters in Riverside, where mornings are calm and afternoons bring the Santa Ana winds through the canyons. The VLX 80 takes that functional advantage and pairs it with a frame profile that measures just 1.97 inches wide when closed. What you see is mostly glass, not metal.
The frame is extruded aluminum with a wall thickness of 0.079 inches, which gives the sash the rigidity to stay square over decades of use. No sagging, no warping, no swelling when humidity spikes in late summer. This is a window designed for architects and homeowners who want clean, unbroken sightlines from inside looking out, and a crisp, contemporary face from the curb looking in. It fits modern builds in Alessandro Heights, mid-century remodels in Hawarden Hills, and newer planned communities across Riverside equally well.
Westlight Windows Riverside carries the VLX 80 because it consistently outperforms vinyl and wood casements in our market. Aluminum holds its finish under relentless inland sun. The hardware is engineered for daily use. And when installed correctly, the thermal break keeps the frame from transferring Riverside’s 100-degree August heat into your living room. Call (760) 624-3669 to talk through whether this series matches your project.

Performance Features
Thermal Efficiency. The VLX 80 uses a polyamide thermal break between the interior and exterior aluminum profiles. This barrier interrupts heat transfer through the metal, which is why the window earns NFRC ratings that make it a legitimate contender against fiberglass in Riverside’s climate. Pair it with Low-E glass and you’ll feel the difference inside.
Acoustic Performance. Aluminum frames with quality compression seals close tight, and tight frames reduce sound transmission. If you live near the 91, near March Air Reserve Base flight paths, or on a busy street in downtown Riverside, ask about laminated glass in your VLX 80. It’s the single biggest upgrade you can make for noise reduction.
Airtightness & Weather Seal. The casement design compresses the sash against the frame when closed, creating a positive seal with minimal air leakage. In Riverside, that means less dust intrusion during dry, windy stretches and fewer drafts when winter nights dip into the 30s. The result is a home that holds its temperature with less strain on your HVAC.
Waterproofing. The VLX 80 drainage system channels any water that reaches the frame out through weep holes at the sill. We install every unit with AAMA 812 low-expansion foam sealant around all perimeter joints, which seals the frame to the rough opening so water never gets behind the window. No sealant = slow water damage you won’t see for years.
Wind Resistance. Casement windows outperform sliders in high-wind conditions because the multi-point lock secures the sash to the frame at multiple points. The VLX 80 is wind-load rated to handle local Riverside conditions, including the gusts that roll down the San Gorgonio Pass and through the Inland Empire during Santa Ana events.
Security & Hardware. The multi-point locking system engages at multiple points when the window is closed, making forced entry substantially harder than a single-latch slider. Tempered or laminated glass adds impact resistance. Ask Westlight Windows Riverside about laminated glass if you want protection against break-ins, not just weather.
Color & Glass Options
Premium Black is the most popular VLX 80 finish we order for Riverside homes. It frames the glass like a picture window and holds up well against light stucco and desert landscaping. Pure White works beautifully on traditional ranch and Spanish-style homes. Anodized Silver reads industrial and pairs with concrete, steel, and minimalist architecture.
Bronze and Champagne are less common, but they bring warmth to mid-century and Mediterranean exteriors. Teak Wood gives you the look of a stained wood window without the maintenance. We keep finish samples in our Riverside showroom, and we’ll bring them to your home during the measurement visit.
Clear glass is standard. Frosted glass works well for bathrooms and side yards. Low-E glass is the upgrade we recommend for any window getting direct afternoon sun in Riverside. Tempered glass meets code when it’s needed near doors or low sill heights. Laminated glass is the choice for security, impact resistance, and sound control. Call (760) 624-3669 and we’ll walk through what fits your openings and your budget.
Installation by Westlight Windows Riverside in Riverside
We don’t consider the VLX 80 installed until it’s level, plumb, square, sealed, and tested. Our installation team follows AAMA 2400/2410 standards on every job, which is the industry benchmark for installing windows correctly. That’s point of no return for the warranty. An improperly installed window, even a premium aluminum window, will leak, stick, or fail early, and the manufacturer warranty won’t cover a bad installation. Westlight Windows Riverside protects you from that.
The process starts with a pre-install inspection. We measure the opening, check the framing for rot or movement, and flag any water damage we find before the new window goes in. Then we remove the old window without disturbing the surrounding stucco or drywall more than necessary. The new VLX 80 goes into the rough opening, set level and plumb, shimmed only where genuinely needed.
Once the frame is square, we seal every perimeter joint using AAMA 812 low-expansion foam. This product fills the gap entirely, doesn’t over-expand and distort the frame, and creates a continuous air and water seal. The final step is a water test. We run water over the exterior after installation to confirm drainage works and nothing is finding its way inside. Then we clean the job site. You shouldn’t be able to tell we were there, except for the new window.
Riverside adds its own set of concerns. The dry heat dries out cheap sealants quickly. Building codes in the City of Riverside require tempered glass where specific safety glazing applies. And older homes in the Wood Streets historic district may need specific approval before replacement windows go in. We handle all those details. Call (760) 624-3669 to schedule your measurement.
Frequently Asked Questions – VLX 80 Casement Window
Most VLX 80 orders from ViewLux arrive at our Riverside facility within three to six weeks from final measurement approval. The exact timing depends on whether you’re ordering stock sizes or fully custom, and which finish and glass package you choose. Custom sizes in less common finishes like Champagne or Teak Wood can push toward the longer end of that range. Westlight Windows Riverside locks in your order the day you approve the quote. Call (760) 624-3669 and we’ll give you a current lead time for your specific configuration before you commit.
Yes, when ordered with Low-E glass and configured to meet ENERGY STAR criteria for the Southern California climate zone. The thermal break and insulated glazing units typically exceed the baseline requirements. We’ll provide the NFRC label and documentation you need for your tax professional. Call (760) 624-3669 and ask us to include energy documentation in your quote package.
The VLX 80 carries a manufacturer warranty from ViewLux on the frame, hardware, and glass, and Westlight Windows Riverside stands behind the installation work with our own workmanship warranty. The key to keeping the manufacturer warranty intact is professional installation that meets AAMA standards, which is exactly what we do. Get the details in writing by calling (760) 624-3669.
Yes, the VLX 80 is built to order in custom widths and heights, not pressed into standard increments. That means we can match unusual openings in older Riverside homes or create a window wall of casements with perfectly even sightlines. Maximum and minimum dimensions apply, and we’ll confirm feasibility during the free on-site measurement. Call (760) 624-3669 to talk size options.
Annual cleaning with mild soap and water is all the finish needs in Riverside. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pressure washers set too high. Keep the tracks and hinges free of sand that blows in from dry landscaping, and lubricate the hardware once a year with a silicone spray. The VLX 80 will not require painting, sealing, or refinishing for the life of the window.
