Installing a Patio Door: How much does it cost?

Installing a patio door costs on average 1,030 Euro.

The price ranges from 580 to 4,310 Euro.

A patio door is important for security and insulation. When you have built a new terrace, the last step is installing a suitable door.

It should not only look good but also fit perfectly in size with your terrace and house. Ideally, choose a door with a high security standard to prevent break-ins. Additionally, consider a door with thermal insulation properties.

Like window frames, the material of the frame can also be chosen. Wood and plastic are common, but aluminum is also an option. For perfect installation, it is recommended to get professional support.

Factors influencing the price

• Material of the patio door

• Type and size of the door

Are there subsidies?

Yes, many patio doors are eligible for support from the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW). Programs 151 and 152 offer low-interest loans, provided the new door has thermal insulation. The U-value or thermal transmittance should not exceed 1.1 W/m²K for the glass to qualify.
