The Holme 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 4% of the face is glazed across 3 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.
Cornwall Composite Doors fits the Holme more often than most of the part-glazed range, with 4% of the face glazed across 3 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 3-aperture layout is what gives the Holme its particular rhythm on the door face.
On site, the Holme tends to get chosen for the same reason twice over: it suits privacy with light, and the part-glazed layout gives homeowners exactly the balance of light and privacy they were describing before they'd seen a single sample.

Reading the Holme's proportions on a real frontage
The 3-aperture layout on the Holme 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 narrow hallways, and we fit it regularly on streets in Fowey where the original Victorian doors would have carried a similar glazed proportion before they were replaced with plain uPVC decades ago. Against cob it holds its own without needing a bold colour to do the work. We would always recommend seeing the Holme against a working sample of your chosen colour before ordering, since the panel's proportions change how a colour reads compared with a plainer design.
Finishing the Holme in the right shade
The Holme's 3-aperture glazing pattern photographs well in Claystone, where the frame lines around the glass stay crisp rather than disappearing into the panel colour. Duck Egg 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, Grey 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 cob; screens flatten differences that are obvious in daylight. If you're unsure between two finishes, our configurator lets you preview the Holme in each of the 21 colours before you commit to a survey.
Hardware and glass options for the Holme
Elegance is the glass design most customers choose for the Holme's apertures, since it obscures the view through without darkening the hallway the way a heavily patterned glass can. Neo 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. Multi-point locking and a 3-star anti-snap cylinder are fitted as standard regardless of glass or colour choice, so the security specification doesn't change whichever route you take with the Holme.
