XXL glazing, including large balcony and patio doors, has been a hit in recent years. They appear in the design of both houses, flats and public buildings. They have many advantages, but require special covers to protect the interior from excessive heating or cooling. Which roller shutters for patio doors are the best choice for me?
Why take care of good quality roller shutters for patio doors?
Good quality external roller shutters are an investment that brings many benefits. First of all, roller shutters allow us to adjust natural light, which has a direct impact on our well-being and productivity. Good window shutters also provide privacy and comfort, protecting us from the unwanted sight of neighbours and noises. What's more, they can help reduce heat and energy loss, which translates into lower heating bills. External roller shutters will also provide a great protection barrier to potential burglars.
External roller shutters for windows and patio doors
Which external roller shutters for patio doors are best?
There are three types of external roller shutters for patio doors to choose from. Which one you decide on depends primarily on whether you are planning to purchase roller shutters for an existing building or a newly constructed building.
Surface mounted roller shutters for patio doors
Exterior surface-mounted roller shutters are the perfect solution for existing buildings. They can be applied to almost any façade. The advantage for the user is the user-friendly maintenance of the roller shutter on the outside of the building. External roller shutters are also characterised by a high burglary resistance class. The roller shutter boxes are fully visible on the façade and can be an interesting complement to the architectural design.

Window integrated patio door rollers
A window integrated roller shutter, i.e. placed on the window or patio door and then installed together with it in the window recess. We can only opt for this option if we are planning to replace the entire window frame or are at the design stage of the building.

At-window-head roller shutters for patio doors
The top mounted roller shutter is another type of roller shutter you have to decide on when designing the building, as the box is installed in a suitably prepared recess in the lintel and will be completely enclosed. A top mounted roller shutter is ‘warmer’ than an under plaster roller shutter and is therefore the best option for passive buildings.

Exterior patio door roller shutters - what colour
Exterior patio door roller shutters are available in a large range of colours. The colour you choose depends to a large extent on your style and sense of aesthetics. Most often, however, the colour of the roller shutters is chosen to match the colour of the other joinery - windows, doors and garage door. Coherent joinery is most aesthetically pleasing.
Summary
Several types of external roller shutters can be applied to patio doors. However, it is worth thinking about them already at the construction stage, in order to have more solutions to choose from. After all, they are an important element of home furnishings which provide ideal protection against both excessive cooling and heating, as well as unwanted intruders.
