Lizard: Doors for Mainland Britain's Most Southerly Point

By Cornwall Composite Doors · 3 October 1969 · 4 min read

Properties at Lizard Point face some of the harshest sustained coastal exposure in the country — a composite door is the only sensible specification.

About as exposed as the British coast gets

The village of Lizard sits at the most southerly point of mainland Britain, and properties here face exposure comparable to Land's End at the opposite corner of the county — sustained Atlantic wind and salt spray with very little natural shelter. This is not a place to compromise on door specification.

Full marine specification as the only sensible option

Stainless steel hardware throughout, the heaviest weatherseal we offer, and a fully drained threshold are standard here, with a storm bar recommended on most properties given the sustained wind exposure. We don't offer a lighter specification for Lizard properties because it wouldn't genuinely serve the customer.

A careful survey given the stakes

Given how much weather a Lizard property sees over a decade, we take particular care at survey stage to assess wind direction, existing damage patterns and the exact fixing detail needed — it's worth the extra time on a specification that has to genuinely last.
