Accoya - 60 Years Minimum Service Life
Accoya® wood is an extensively researched and proven "new wood species" with performance proper ties that match or exceed those of the very best tropical hardwoods. It can be used with absolute confidence in external applications. Where quality, durability, dimensional stability and reliability matter,
Accoya® wood is made only from sustainably sourced wood, is non-toxic and, because it is so stable, is exceptionally easy to maintain, saving both environmental and financial costs.
While mankind may hate extremes of cold, wet and even heat, Accoya® wood can withstand the toughest environments. Accoya® wood has been tested over prolonged periods in all types of weathering conditions, above ground, below ground and even in water. Not only is its durability proven, but it has also been shown to retain its appearance, requiring much less frequent ma intenance than other wood species. This gives added reassurance to manufacturers, architects, specifiers, builders and proper ty owners alike and makes Accoya® wood the ideal choice for a diverse range of external applications.
Class 1 Durability.
The most durable wood possible, lasting for at least 50 years above ground and 25 years in-ground, more durable than Teak - Perfect for outdoor use.
Outstanding Dimensional Stability.
Swelling and shrinkage reduced by 75% or more.
Paints and varnishes last 3-4 times longer, greatly reducing maintenance costs
Consistant reliable quality
Accoya® wood is modified all the way through, not just at the surface layer like many alternative treatments. Laboratory validation after the process has taken place ensures that every batch is of consistent quality and reaches the highest possible performance standards.
Mould and Insect durability.
Accoya® wood is indigestable to insects and micro-organisms and is therefore more durable against decay. The durability against wood destroying fungi is dramatically increased. Accoya® wood is virtually rot-proof.
Non-Toxic.
Accoya® wood is non-toxic, protecting the environment from the harmful effects of poisons leaching into the earth. It's outstanding durability means that there is no need to apply chemical preservatives onsite, as is necessary with unmodified or envelope-treated woods.
Resistance to UV degradation.
Accoya® wood has superior resistance to the effects of UV exposure, meaning that the natural appearance of the wood is retained for longer. Accoya® wood is the ultimate substrate.
Accoya® wood is high strength to weight ratio makes it suitable for challenging external applications
Sustainable/recyclable.
Accoya® wood is sourced from responsibly managed, sustainable forests.
Accoya® wood may be safely reused and recycled.
