Accoya

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.

Performance beyond any other wood

Accoya brings unprecedented reliability for timber; it is checked and trusted not to visibly swell, shrink or distort. Highly durable, it withstands the test of any climate. 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 with the ultimate consistency and quality

Finish sums up many of the reasons architects and manufacturers love working with Accoya – coatings look brilliant and last longer, generally require less maintenance saving time and money in the long-term.

Wood to change the world

Accoya wood is made by Accsys at its plant in Arnhem, in the Netherlands. Accsys transforms fast-growing, certified sustainable wood into Accoya wood through its proprietary acetylation process. The result is high performing sustainable timber with sustainability credentials that exceed those of man-made, intensely resource depleting and heavily carbon-polluting alternatives
