The Kea 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 24% 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.
The Kea is one of the full-glazed designs in the Endurance single-door library, with 24% of the face glazed across 2 separate apertures. That proportion of glass is deliberate rather than decorative: a run this generous is built for hallways that need genuine daylight, not just a glimpse of the porch. Every unit is toughened and argon-filled as standard, and the 2-aperture layout is what gives the Kea its particular rhythm on the door face.
On site, the Kea tends to get chosen for the same reason twice over: it suits open-plan hallways, and the full-glazed layout gives homeowners exactly the balance of light and privacy they were describing before they'd seen a single sample.

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

Reading the Kea's proportions on a real frontage
With 24% of the face glazed across 2 apertures, the Kea sits comfortably on open-plan hallways — the glazing is proportioned to lift a hallway without turning the entrance into a shop window. On a granite elevation the panel lines read as intentional rather than decorative, which matters on the terraced streets around Wadebridge and Redruth where every door on the row is visible from the pavement. If your hallway is genuinely dark, this is one of the better-lit options in the full-glazed category without stepping up to a full-glass design. As with every Endurance design, the Kea is backed by the 10-year manufacturer guarantee covering the core, the hardware and the colour finish, regardless of which property type it's fitted to.
Which of the 21 Endurance colours suit the Kea
The Kea's 2-aperture glazing pattern photographs well in Anthracite Grey, where the frame lines around the glass stay crisp rather than disappearing into the panel colour. Green 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 full-glazed face. For a bolder frontage, White Foiled 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 granite; screens flatten differences that are obvious in daylight. Dual-colour finishing — a different shade inside and out — is available on the Kea at no extra cost, which is worth considering if the hallway decor doesn't match the exterior palette you want.
Getting the glazing and hardware right
In the Kea's apertures, obscure glass such as Jewel keeps the hallway private while still passing daylight, and is what we fit as standard unless a customer asks otherwise. Prairie is the better choice where the door faces a garden or a quiet lane rather than the street, since more of the pattern reads as clear. Hardware-wise, a chrome or satin handle set suits the 2-aperture rhythm on a more contemporary elevation, while pewter or black points it towards period streets in Wadebridge. Lead time on the Kea 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.
