Gorran Haven: A Marine Specification for Clifftop Cottages

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

Gorran Haven's cliff-top position near Dodman Point calls for the same marine-grade attention we'd give any exposed south-coast village.

Exposure toward Dodman Point

Gorran Haven sits below the headland at Dodman Point, on a stretch of south Cornwall coast that catches serious weather off the Channel despite the more sheltered reputation of the south coast generally. Cliff-top and near-beach properties here see real salt exposure, and we specify accordingly rather than assuming south coast automatically means gentler conditions.

What we fit as standard here

Stainless steel hinges, screws and multipoint components, an uprated weatherseal and a properly drained threshold are all standard on Gorran Haven installations — the same specification as a north-coast village, because the exposure here genuinely warrants it.

Cottage character on a small fishing beach

Gorran Haven's cottages are modest in scale and close to the beach, and cottage-style composite doors with small glazed panels suit them far better than anything larger. Heritage colours — Chartwell Green and Duck Egg Blue especially — carry the 10-year colour-fastness guarantee that matters given the UV and salt exposure here.
