Crafthole's Cliff-Top Homes Need a Marine-Grade Door
By Cornwall Composite Doors · 20 December 1969 · 4 min read
Overlooking Whitsand Bay, Crafthole's exposed position calls for the same specification we'd use on any front-line coastal property.
A cliff-top hamlet with a big view and bigger weather
Crafthole sits above Whitsand Bay with a clear run of exposure to the Channel, and properties here take wind and salt in a way that inland Rame Peninsula villages simply don't. It's a small, quiet hamlet, but the door specification we use is identical to what we'd fit on a much larger, more exposed coastal town — exposure doesn't scale with population.
Fixings and seals built for this position
Stainless steel hardware throughout, an uprated triple-brush weatherseal and a drained threshold detail are standard on every Crafthole installation. We've seen what a standard-spec fixing kit does after a couple of winters in this kind of position — corrosion and stiffness in the hinges being the most common early failure — and it's not worth the risk of specifying down.
Style choices for Crafthole's mixed housing
Crafthole's housing is a genuine mix — some older stone cottages, some more recent coastal builds — and we specify accordingly rather than defaulting to one look. Traditional panelled doors suit the older stock; contemporary flush doors with a full-height glazed panel work well on the newer coastal properties that already have larger picture windows.
Covering the wider Rame Peninsula
We fit doors across the whole Rame Peninsula from Crafthole through Millbrook and Torpoint, all specified with the same coastal attention to fixing and drainage detail. There's no distinction in price or specification for the smaller hamlets versus the larger towns nearby.
