St Merryn: One Door Spec for Constantine, Trevone and Harlyn Bay
By Cornwall Composite Doors · 10 July 1969 · 4 min read
PL28's beach-close housing near three of north Cornwall's best-known bays needs a doorset built for genuine coastal exposure.
A village surrounded by beaches
St Merryn sits inland just enough to feel like a proper village rather than a beach resort, but it's ringed by three of north Cornwall's most popular bays — Constantine, Trevone and Harlyn — all within a couple of miles. That proximity means salt-laden wind reaches most of the village's housing stock regardless of which direction it's blowing from, which is a slightly different challenge to a single-facing clifftop property.
A mix of permanent homes and holiday properties
Housing in St Merryn ranges from older cottages in the village centre to newer bungalows and a significant number of holiday homes and lets serving the surrounding beaches. On the holiday properties especially, low-maintenance performance matters as much as looks — owners who aren't on site year-round need a door that will still be performing properly at the start of next season without any attention from them in between.
Marine-grade as standard, not an upgrade
Given St Merryn's exposure from multiple directions, we treat marine-grade specification — stainless fixings, drained sills — as the default here rather than something to upsell. It's the same approach we'd take in a village directly on the cliff edge, because the practical exposure isn't meaningfully different even though St Merryn itself sits slightly back from the coast.
Ten years of guaranteed colour, whichever bay you're closest to
Whether a property looks out towards Trevone, Harlyn or neither, the same 10-year colour-fastness guarantee applies. Customers who've previously had a timber or older uPVC door fail within a couple of seasons in this area tend to appreciate having that written down rather than just promised verbally.
