The Tyree 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 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.
Among Endurance's part-glazed doors, the Tyree earns its place, with 6% 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 Tyree its particular rhythm on the door face.
What sets the Tyree 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 terraced homes.

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

Where the Tyree looks right
At 6% glazed, the Tyree is neither a bright, glass-dominant design nor a fully private one — it occupies the middle ground that suits village cottages. We would point a customer with a dark, narrow hall in Truro towards this design over a solid panel, and towards it over a full-glazed design if they have young children or simply prefer not to be visible from the street when answering the door. Whatever the property type, every Tyree 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 Tyree's panel layout
The Tyree'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. 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 part-glazed face. For a bolder frontage, Claystone 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 Tyree at no extra cost, which is worth considering if the hallway decor doesn't match the exterior palette you want.
Hardware and glass options for the Tyree
We would default the Tyree to an obscure design such as Glacier across all 2 apertures if the door opens straight onto a pavement, and offer Prairie 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. Lead time on the Tyree 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.
