Why we choose Accoya:
This is why we choose Accoya:
Accoya is created from sustainably-sourced wood. Accoya® undergoes a proprietary, non-toxic acetylation process that permanently modifies the wood to the core.
The result: an environmentally friendly solid wood with durability, dimensional stability and beauty that matches or exceeds even the best tropical hardwood.
Accoya® is wood, but not as you know it. It is modified timber in which a process called acetylation, a cutting-edge patented technology, enables it to it resist rot, defy the elements and stay strong for decades. Accoya® itself is guaranteed for 50 years above ground and 25 years in ground or freshwater, its performance and properties are remarkable. From joinery for the home, to bridges submerged in water, Accoya long life wood is a leading material that stands up to every application challenge and more.
Sustainability
Accoya® wood for the Future
By significantly enhancing the durability and dimensional stability of fast growing, abundantly available certified wood species, Accoya® wood provides compelling environmental advantages over scarce slow growing hardwoods, woods treated with toxic chemicals, and non-renewable carbon-intensive materials such as plastics, steel and concrete.
In order to assess the environmental impact of a material or product, all stages of its life cycle, from cradle to grave, must be taken into account, which is elaborated per life cycle phase, before looking at environmental assessments executed and ecolabels acquired for Accoya.
