  • 100% guaranteed

Dimensional stability

  • swelling and shrinkage reduced by 75% or more
  • doors and windows open effortlessly year round
  • paints and varnishes last 3 or 4 times longer, greatly reducing maintenance costs

Class 1 durability

  • the most durable wood possible
  • more durable than teak

  • Accoya is non-toxic, protecting the environment from the harmful effects of poisons leaching into the earth
  • Accoya may be safely reused and recycled

Resistance to UV degradation

  • Accoya has superior resistance to the effects of UV exposure, meaning that the wood's natural appearance is retained for longer
  • Accoya is the ultimate substrate

Strong and beautiful as nature intended

  • the process does not compromise the wood's strength or natural beauty
  • hardness is increased
  • Accoya's high strength to weight ratio makes it suitable for challenging external applications, such as road traffic bridges

Naturally insulating

  • Accoya has reduced thermal conductivity
  • Accoya is ideal for windows and cladding, where energy conservation is important
