The Tove 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 6% 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.
The Tove is one of the part-glazed designs in the Endurance single-door library, with 6% 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 Tove its particular rhythm on the door face.
On site, the Tove tends to get chosen for the same reason twice over: it suits bungalows, and the part-glazed layout gives homeowners exactly the balance of light and privacy they were describing before they'd seen a single sample.

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

Reading the Tove's proportions on a real frontage
The 3-aperture layout on the Tove 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 Wadebridge 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 Tove 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 Tove
The Tove's 3-aperture glazing pattern photographs well in Rosewood, 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, Pearl 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 limewashed render; screens flatten differences that are obvious in daylight. If you're unsure between two finishes, our configurator lets you preview the Tove in each of the 21 colours before you commit to a survey.
Finishing touches on the Tove
We would default the Tove to an obscure design such as Vienna across all 3 apertures if the door opens straight onto a pavement, and offer Cotswold as the upgrade where more visibility through the glass is welcome — a rear garden door, for instance, or a porch that already screens the view. On hardware, this panel layout carries a slim lever handle well; a bulkier traditional set can look slightly out of scale against apertures this size. Our CERTASS-registered fitters install the Tove in a single day in almost every case, including full disposal of the old door and frame.
