Georgian bars and sash horns helped to complete the period look, and the Agate Grey shade from VEKA’s Variations colour range was a near-direct match for the original windows. All in all, it combined to give the building a really inviting appearance – essential in a good pub! Rodney Hodgkins, Chairman of the Bishampton and Throckmoreton Parish Council commented: “We’re thrilled to see The Dolphin returning to its former glory with the installation of these new windows. Not only do the new PVCu frames complement the heritage look of the building perfectly but its warmer and there’s less road noise. “Fred and the team at Northfield Glass did a great job and we’d have no hesitation in recommending them. The fitters arrived on time, worked with unsurpassed levels of cleanliness and tidiness and, what’s more, Lee – the landlord – was still able to run the pub without their work intruding.” Rodney added. www.vekauk.com
