Accoya
Accoya® is modified timber using acetylation, which enables it to resist rot and defy the elements. Guaranteed for 50 years above ground and 25 years in ground. From joinery for the home to bridges submerged in water, Accoya® long life wood is a leading material that stands up to every application challenge.
Accoya® turns everything you know about wood on its head. Through a revolutionary scientific process called acetylation, it modifies wood to give it properties above and beyond the very best hardwoods – and in many cases, aluminium and PVC. Since its launch in 2007, Accoya has been selected by hundreds of manufacturers as their wood of choice and used on architecturally significant projects from around the world. But perhaps its most exciting application is in everyday homes, where it brings new possibilities for windows, doors, decking and cladding.
A new world of high performance, sustainable and low maintenance applications are opened up by Accoya wood. Accoya can be used in virtually any application because of its outstanding technical characteristics. From large scale structural and cladding jobs to smaller scale domestic projects, Accoya has been used successfully. It is also the material of choice for carpenters and craftsmen.
