The frames were traditionally made with lead weights brass furniture fully draft sealed all round, all made to an extremely high specification with tradiotnal horns and mouldings. As you can see from the enclosed photographs we have constructed a very traditional looking box sash window with the advantage of the self clean glass.

We are yet to get feedback from the client on how successful the glass has been but early tests indicates that it is a very useful product particularly when fitting windows in a very hard to reach situation but we will keep you posted.

Luckily Mrs Vokes has a wood burner and she is looking forward to using them this winter, so congratulations go to her and her family and I hope they enjoy the warmth and economy they bring and doing their bit for the environment.

We are very proud to tell you that Paul Flint and Company were featured in The  Guardian Newspaper, Life and Style Magazine — 16th January 2010 — on a project we undertook in 2009.

Take a look at this link to the Guardian,  the property is owned by Pippa Blake, a talented artist living on the picturesque Chichester Harbour.  We were extremely enthused by this project which allowed us to highlight our project management abilities, design and follow through with the bespoke joinery throughout the house.

The brief was to convert an existing 1960′s bungalow to an ergonomic open plan and more economical home. The specification was put together by Eric Guibert from architects Sens, who we worked very closely alongside.

Oak flooring was laid throughout and Birch ply was extensively used for the joinery, finished in Osmo paint.  A Mass concrete work top was used for the kitchen. The building itself is clad externally in a very novel way - Concrete !

If you would like to talk to us about a current or future project then please have a look at our web site for inspiration and/or give me a call when I would be more than happy to arrange a mutually convenient time to meet and discuss your requirements.

Check out our Pippa Blake gallery for more photos.

Storage
Some obvious but important advice here.

• Keep dry and out of sunlight, a dry shed is ideal Sunlight will cause condensation in the bag and impair the quality of the briquettes.
• Damp briquettes will be difficult to light and may cause smoking.
• Our briquettes are suitable for use on open fires, AGAs, woodburners, outdoor chimneas, etc.

Lighting Them
We have found that the easiest way to start the fire is using screwed up paper, kindling and/or a firelighter block, with a few briquettes on top, to start off.

• When the fire is going, top up with briquettes as necessary.
• Never over-fill your fire basket or woodburner.
• Never close off the air supply, as the briquettes need air to burn. but best to keep low

Although the briquettes seem small, never add more than you would with normal logs, as overheating may occur and you may damage your stove, fireplace or chimney! (Burning with heat output of between 5.8 and 6.2 kw per kilogram compare to 3.2 of logs and 6.2 of coal).

• As the briquettes burn hotter than normal wood, it is best to add small amounts regularly.
• Although the briquettes are very dry and should not cause sparks, we still recommend use of a fireguard for your safety.

If you have any questions about the briquettes, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Paul Flint & Company, the local carpenters and joiners in Hambledon, are please to incorporate The Hambledon Briquette Company.

For the first time we were at The Petersfield Farmers/Christmas Festival it was a great success selling our carbon neutral briquettes to make everyone’s winter warmer, saving the pennies and helping the environment.

Everyone is well aware of the environment and the environmental impact of modern living. Most people know wood is a sustainable source being 100% renewable, but we at Paul Flint & Company have taken that knowledge one step further. We have invested in a new wood shaving extraction system thus helping make the workshop a friendlier environment. This system enables us to recycle our wood shavings, dramatically saving waste, which we then compress into timber Briquettes providing a sustainable resource. The resulting briquettes provide an efficient and economic fuel source which is good news for households keen to reduce fuel bills whilst keeping warm.

Burning briquettes as a fuel completes a natural cycle as on combustion they only release as much carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere as was originally absorbed by the growing tree during photosynthesis. They are a natural product, containing no additives, preservatives, glues or binders.

Briquettes have many advantages over traditional firewood/coal:

• We bag our Briquettes making for easy handling and storing
• Completely Carbon Neutral
• Clean
• No additives
• Light weight
• Burning produces 0.5% ash
• High calorific values Burning with heat output of between 5.8 and 6.2 kw per kilogram compare to 3.2 kw of logs and 6.2 kw of coal
• Sustainable resource
• 2.5kgs of wood briquettes = 1 litre of heating oil and 1 tonne of briquettes = 400 litres of heating oil
• Local deliveries are available

We offer price breaks depending on quantity and delivery. Briquettes are ideal for use on wood burners, open fire chimneys, furnaces and log burners. To place an order or if you have any queries about the briquettes then please do not hesitate to contact us.

So, not only do our customers receive fine custom made joinery, but also have sound knowledge that we recycle and contribute to a greener environment.
