Hello,
we were asked if we wanted to have rolling layers (roller screeds) at the patio doors. As far as I know, it’s definitely not a bad idea in terms of water protection. However, I’m not particularly keen on them because we specifically chose a low-profile construction for the patio door. We wanted to avoid a high step, but the rolling layer would create one again. You can find mixed opinions about this online, as is probably the case everywhere.
Has anyone here decided against the rolling layer and could share how they sealed the area later on? Are your patio slabs or paving installed directly up to the door, or is there a drainage channel in between?
So far, several coats of MB 2k from Remmers have been applied.
I would appreciate any tips.

That is the original poster’s plan. And what if you leave a small threshold and work with a slope? Would you still need a drain channel? Our roof overhang is about 50cm (20 inches).

Wooden deck up to the door (without a drainage layer). That way, you won’t have an (unsightly) grated drain in front. I personally like that too. I was quite fixed on using pavers. I will take another look in that direction.

For example, our neighbor’s lawn, terrace, and floor are all at the same level. The paved terrace and door are flush with the floor. The terrace is also slightly lower than the street. In the past two years, there were two heavy rainstorms where water stood about 10cm (4 inches) deep on the terrace and flowed significantly into the living room.
That’s probably an extreme case.
If the terrace is elevated above the lawn and the slope generally directs water away from the house, plus you have a 50cm (20 inches) roof overhang, it generally shouldn’t be a problem.

You can find mixed opinions on this online – probably everywhere.Opinions may be divided for or against the roller bed, but hardly regarding the construction height: with the roller bed, it would already be about 12.5 cm (5 inches) just because of the size of the paving stones, and due to the angled installation, it would effectively be no less than 14 cm (5.5 inches) – with the goal of a low threshold or even a flush transition between inside and outside, I see this as difficult to reconcile.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

We also decided against using a screed layer, which turned out to be a good choice. Our patio door is not exactly flush with the floor; you have to step over the "window frame." The terrace itself is paved and slopes down towards the lower garden area...
The roof overhang is 50cm (20 inches), but with two full stories, it doesn't make much of a difference.
Our landscaping contractor said there are no issues with this...
By now, we have a fixed patio roof installed above it anyway.
