Kilkhampton: Sealing Tight Against North Cornwall's Weather

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

Kilkhampton's exposed inland position near Bude calls for a triple-brush weatherseal as standard, not an optional upgrade.

Exposure without the coastal view

Kilkhampton sits a few miles inland from Bude but doesn't escape much of the weather that reaches the coast there — the wind that comes off the Atlantic keeps moving well past the beach, and Kilkhampton's elevated, open position means it catches a fair share of what Bude gets, just without the salt spray component.

Why a triple-brush seal is standard here, not optional

We fit a triple-brush weatherseal as our default specification in Kilkhampton rather than treating it as an upgrade, because the wind exposure here genuinely justifies it — a single or double brush seal that would be adequate in a sheltered inland town simply isn't enough to keep draughts out on a property this exposed.

Church and village-centre character

Around Kilkhampton Church, the village retains real historic character, and heritage-style composite doors in Chartwell Green or Cream are what we fit most often here — practical performance wrapped in a style that respects the setting.

Coombe Valley and the wider parish

Kilkhampton's parish extends out toward Coombe Valley, where properties are more rural and isolated — the same weatherseal and security specification applies regardless of how central or outlying the property is.
