Accoya® wood is the timber of choice when coated timber cladding is required. With its long life, low cost and low maintenance requirements, this modified timber is, without doubt, timber transformed.

Accoya® wood’s performance credentials have been extensively researched and repeatedly demonstrated. Accoya® wood has properties that match those of the best tropical hardwoods, yet is manufactured using a non-toxic treatment and wood from sustainable sources. In fact, it may seem too good to be true… but Accoya® really exists.

Imagine a wood that is perfect for use in cladding, with the performance of the best tropical hardwoods and much more:

• Class 1 durability – the best available.
• Equals and exceeds the durability of tropical hardwoods, such as Teak or Meranti.
• Outstanding dimensional stability, which dramatically improves the lifespan of coatings, meaning considerably lower maintenance requirements.
• Retained natural strength and beauty, plus increased hardness.
• Guaranteed for 50 years.
• 4 clear sides; no knots.
• Consistent supply from FSC certified, sustainably managed forests.
• Environmental compatibility – non-toxic, 100% recyclable and naturally renewable.
• Consistent, measurable quality all the way through the wood, not just at the surface.

Accoya® is the result of more than 75 years’ research and development that have brought together a long-established and extensively-researched wood modification technique, acetylisation, and leading-edge technology to create this extraordinary "new wood species", commercially available for the first time.

Accoya® wood is set to become the material of choice for external cladding, where an extremely durable, high-quality appearance is required, with a stained or painted finish.
