Low energy retrofit, Dumfries & Galloway

65. This photo was taken in November 2019. The lovely window reflects the view I look out onto in the window itself. The frames are actually much more pink, the colour of which is lost in the beautiful late afternoon November sunshine [as is the pink sandstone of the walls, or just my old camera!]. Submitted by Alex J, Scotland

Low energy retrofit of a Victorian property, featuring Green Building Store’s triple glazed timber windows and doors, finished in a striking pink colour to complement the pink sandstone.
