Tregony: A Door That Can Handle Weather From Both Coasts
By Cornwall Composite Doors · 18 December 1969 · 4 min read
TR2's position on the neck of the Roseland peninsula means it catches weather off two coastlines — composite shrugs off both.
A crossing point with weather to match
Tregony sits on the narrow neck of the Roseland peninsula, historically an important crossing point on the River Fal, and its position means the village catches weather that's come off both the south coast near St Mawes and the open country towards Truro. It's not as directly exposed as a clifftop village, but it doesn't get the shelter you might expect from its inland-feeling setting either.
A well-preserved historic main street
Tregony's Fore Street retains a genuinely attractive run of period properties, including a scattering of listed buildings, and the village's historic character is one of its defining features. On these frontages we recommend heritage-style composite doors and take particular care over colour selection, checking what's appropriate for listed and conservation-area properties before finalising anything.
The bridge and river's influence on the older end of the village
Properties closer to Tregony Bridge and the River Fal experience a degree of persistent dampness in the air that timber doors don't handle well over time — we see this show up as sticking and swelling in the older doors on this stretch of the village more than elsewhere.
Straightforward specification for a sensible price
Tregony doesn't need the marine-grade fixings we'd specify for a village directly on the open coast, so most jobs here use our standard weather-resistant specification, which keeps the price proportionate to what the property actually needs while still delivering a door built to cope with genuinely mixed Cornish weather.
