Why We Choose Accoya Wood
A new way of thinking about wood
Accoya modified wood has become the timber industry benchmark when it comes to performance and sustainability. No other timber offers the same combination of durability, stability and versatility. Sustainably sourced, and with a low total lifetime carbon cost, Accoya actively contributes to a circular, bio-based economy.
The Accoya Advantage
50 YEARS
The generic term for Accoya is acetylated wood. Acetylated wood had been studied by wood scientists for many decades before Accoya came to the market. Consequently, there are examples of long term trials where acetylated wood has demonstrated its exceptional performance.
Performance
Accoya brings unprecedented reliability for timber; it is checked and trusted not to visibly swell, shrink or distort, with minimal movement. Highly durable, it withstands the test of any climate and is a highly rot resistant wood. And what’s more, it stays that way – a 50 year above ground, and 25 year below ground and freshwater warranty are testament to the fact that you can expect to enjoy your Accoya wood for many decades to come.
Finish
Finish sums up many of the reasons architects and manufacturers love working with Accoya – coatings look brilliant and last longer, and its easy and hassle free care save time and money in the long-term. It also offers huge design freedom, with the ability to create a multitude of textural finishes such as smooth, charred and brushed, plus bespoke size and finish options for endless creativity.
