Accoya® wood offers exceptional performance and is manufactured from sustainable Radiata pine. Due to the patented, non-toxic acetylation process, the wood undergoes a permanent transformation right down to the core. The result is an environmentally friendly solid wood with durability, dimensional stability and beauty equal to or better than the best tropical hardwood.
Accoya wood is ideally suited to demanding applications such as windows and doors, where precision fit is essential and they need to open smoothly all year round, regardless of the conditions. Accoya® is also the ideal choice for cladding, where the natural beauty of the wood is desired, but durability and high performance are paramount. For decking, where preventing warping, warping and cracking is essential, Accoya® is up to the challenge.
Accoya® wood is also perfectly suitable for outdoor applications. It is insensitive to attack by wood-boring insects and micro-organisms. Resistance to wood-destroying fungi has been significantly improved. Accoya® wood is guaranteed rot-free.

Accoya® wood is easy to process both mechanically and manually, without additional challenges for wood processors and end users. When sawing or profiling Accoya® wood, untreated wood surfaces are never exposed. This means that it is not necessary to protect such surfaces with environmentally unfriendly means, as is often necessary with envelope treatments.
