Patio door

The choice of the most suitable material – whether aluminium, PVC or wood – plays an important role when it comes to the performance features, durability and look of a patio door. heroal patio and balcony doors are made from aluminium, which stands out for a high-quality, elegant look, a sustainable use, and very effective protection against burglary, weather and noise. In addition, the material aluminium allows for designs with small face widths, and also for the installation of elements in extremely large openings.

Patio and balcony doors are generally located at the back of a building, and therefore not open to public view. More than 40 % of all burglars use the patio or balcony door to gain entry. That makes the patio door the most popular target for burglary, both in one-family and multi-family homes. Therefore, the right burglary protection is very important. When buying a patio door, pay attention to lockable door handles, which make it more difficult for burglars to open the door from inside after having cut a small hole in the window pane. Fittings with mushroom head lock and anti lift devices prevent the doors from being forced upwards or pried open – one of the most common ways burglars enter the home. In addition, the use of penetration-resistant safety glass for balcony and patio elements is to be considered. The German industry norm DIN EN 1627 defines a number of different burglary resistance classes (RC) in order to classify burglary-resistant components used in construction. The police recommend the use of burglary protection class RC 2 for patio and balcony doors.

Patio and balcony doors by heroal are available including resistance class RC 3. They have lockable window handles, mushroom head locks and anti lift devices.
