What is Accoya® wood?
Accoya® is the result of more than 75 years’ research and development that have brought together a long-established and extensively researched wood modification technique, acetylation, and leading-edge technology to create and make this extraordinary “new wood” commercially available for the first time.
Accoya® is set to become the material of choice for exterior applications and can be used for virtually anything, from windows to doors, decking to cladding and even for applications which are presently the preserve of non-sustainable materials.
Accoya® is perfect for outdoor use, with the performance of the best tropical hardwoods and much more besides:
- Class 1 durability - the best available
- Outstanding dimensional stability which dramatically improves coatings adhesion and product performance
- Lasting for 50 years above ground and 25 years in-ground
- Environmental compatibility - non-toxic, 100% recyclable and sourced from sustainable forests
- Consistent, measurable quality all the way through the wood, not just at the surface
- Retained natural strength and beauty, increased hardness
- Consistent supply from sustainably managed forests and plantations
