The Carn Brea Guide to Composite Doors (TR15)

By Cornwall Composite Doors · 29 August 1969 · 4 min read

Everything Carn Brea homeowners need to know about composite doors — weather, colour choices, security ratings and what a local install actually looks like.

Composite doors that respect Carn Brea's architecture

Carn Brea's streets around Carn Brea Castle carry a particular character — granite lintels, painted rendered fronts, sash windows, deep porches. The wrong front door reads as a mistake from twenty paces. That's why more than half the composite doors we fit in Carn Brea are traditional or cottage-style, with proper mouldings, deep bead detail, and heritage colours the property was already dressed in.

Cottage and traditional styles that suit Carn Brea

Our most-installed styles in Carn Brea are the Cottage and Traditional 6-panel — both look right on granite, brick and rendered fronts. Where the property is more Victorian in feel we'll recommend the Traditional with a stained-glass fanlight above; for narrower period cottages the Cottage door with a small side-glazed panel keeps the hallway light without breaking the elevation.

Heritage colours we're fitting in Carn Brea this year

Chartwell Green remains the most-requested colour in Carn Brea — it sits between sage and forest and looks appropriate on nearly any period property. Duck Egg Blue is the second most common, followed by Rustic Red for cottages that want a bit of confidence, and classic Black for larger Georgian frontages. Every colour is UV-stable and carries the 10-year colour-fastness guarantee.
