The Nanda 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 31% of the face is glazed across 5 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 Nanda is one of the full-glazed designs in the Endurance single-door library, with 31% of the face glazed across 5 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 5-aperture layout is what gives the Nanda its particular rhythm on the door face.
It is a design that rewards a proper site visit: photographs flatten the glazing, but in person the Nanda has a depth to its lines that suits architect-led projects particularly well.

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

Where the Nanda looks right
The 5-aperture layout on the Nanda 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 statement entrances, and we fit it regularly on streets in Newquay 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 Nanda 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.
Colours that flatter the Nanda's panel layout
The Nanda's 5-aperture glazing pattern photographs well in Cream, where the frame lines around the glass stay crisp rather than disappearing into the panel colour. Brilliant Blue 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 limewashed render; screens flatten differences that are obvious in daylight. If you're unsure between two finishes, our configurator lets you preview the Nanda in each of the 21 colours before you commit to a survey.
Glass designs and hardware for the Nanda
In the Nanda's apertures, obscure glass such as Neo keeps the hallway private while still passing daylight, and is what we fit as standard unless a customer asks otherwise. Jewel 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 5-aperture rhythm on a more contemporary elevation, while pewter or black points it towards period streets in Newquay. 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 Nanda.
