Timber is a vitally important way to take CO2 from the atmosphere. As a tree grows it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere via a process called photosynthesis. There is a by-product - oxygen. For every cubic metre of timber grown, one tonne of CO2 is sequestrated from the air. Timber is therefore a 'carbon sink', locking away carbon for the lifetime of the product and potentially for many years more than that.
Blackthorn Timber Windows has gained an enviable reputation for the high quality of our custom-made windows and for the skill and attention to detail of our installation teams. I would also like to add how pleased I've been with you and your team's professionalism from start to finish. It is always a pleasure to work with a company who do what they promise and when it was promised.
Here at Blackthorn Timber Windows we believe that we supply the best replacement windows and doors in the market because of the unique combination of quality timber, great product design, top-class manufacturing standards, 4-stage preservation and coatings process and extensive independent product testing.
We can supply and install every design and type of timber window and door in a wide selection of timbers and glazing options. Every time we visit a prospective customer, we are confident that, whatever the request, we can supply a window or door to suit. Whatever the product, the design principles must remain the same in order to give long-lasting performance.

Critical: Quality, Value
I spent a lot of money on windows. within under a year the brass work started to tarnish, no furniture to enable the top sash to be pulled open and at least 4 windows the top sash is stuck shut, I can only open them if I go outside and hit the sash quite hard to unstick it. Not impressed.

Please beware and please think twice about using this firm. I had doors and windows supplied and fitted to our home by Blackthorn, the project began in February 2018 and took 8 months to complete. Their suppliers are amateurs, their timescales are laughable, and overall this was an incredibly frustrating experience from start to finish. Think again, and take your hard earned money elsewhere.
