The Cleeve is built on Endurance's 48mm solid engineered-timber core, so it stays rigid in Cornish wind and driving rain rather than flexing like a foam-filled slab. Roughly 3% of the face is glazed across 2 apertures, and every unit is fitted with toughened, argon-filled double glazing as standard. Supplied and installed across Cornwall by our own CERTASS-registered fitters, finished in any of the 20 Endurance colours shown on this page.
Cleeve sits in the part-glazed section of the Endurance range, with 3% of the face glazed across 2 separate apertures. That proportion of glass is deliberate rather than decorative: a small run of apertures like this lets light reach a hallway without turning the door into a window. Every unit is toughened and argon-filled as standard, and the 2-aperture layout is what gives the Cleeve its particular rhythm on the door face.
What sets the Cleeve apart on the doorstep is proportion rather than gimmick — the panel lines and glazing are sized so the door reads correctly from the pavement and not just up close. It has become a regular recommendation for side entrances.

Understated styling
This is a part glazed design. Anthracite Grey delivers architectural impact and reads sharp against brickwork, render, granite and slate across Cornwall.

Matching the Cleeve to your property type
The 2-aperture layout on the Cleeve was clearly drawn for a specific kind of hallway: one that needs a defined amount of daylight rather than either none or all of it. That makes it a strong fit for understated styling, and we fit it regularly on streets in Penzance where the original Victorian doors would have carried a similar glazed proportion before they were replaced with plain uPVC decades ago. Against limewashed render it holds its own without needing a bold colour to do the work. Whatever the property type, every Cleeve we quote is measured and templated on site rather than to a standard size, so the panel and glazing proportions shown here translate exactly to the finished door.
Getting the colour right on the Cleeve
The Cleeve's 2-aperture glazing pattern photographs well in Black, where the frame lines around the glass stay crisp rather than disappearing into the panel colour. Slate Grey is the other finish we would put in front of a customer choosing this design — it is muted enough that the glazing, not the door colour, is the first thing you notice on the part-glazed face. For a bolder frontage, Green gives the same proportions a completely different character without changing the layout at all. Whichever you choose, ask to see a physical sample against your own limewashed render; screens flatten differences that are obvious in daylight. If you're unsure between two finishes, our configurator lets you preview the Cleeve in each of the 21 colours before you commit to a survey.
Finishing touches on the Cleeve
Cotswold is the glass design most customers choose for the Cleeve's apertures, since it obscures the view through without darkening the hallway the way a heavily patterned glass can. Harmony is worth considering if the door sits under a porch roof, where privacy is already handled by the structure and a clearer glass lets more light through. Pair either with a handle finish that matches your existing window furniture so the whole frontage reads as one decision rather than several. Lead time on the Cleeve is the same as the rest of the range — typically four to six weeks from survey to fit, whatever glass and hardware combination you choose.
