Timber Cladding / Accoya
Accoya® wood is the timber of choice when coated timber cladding is required. With its long life, low cost and low maintenance requirements it is without doubt timber transformed.
Accoya ® has a fast growing reputation as the timber to use when coated timber cladding is required.
Accoya cladding can be used in a wide variety of applications and situations because of its long life, strength and low maintenance requirement.
The performance of Accoya has been extensively researched and repeatedly demonstrated both in tests and in practical applications.
Technical data
- The acetylisation process results in Class 1 Durability, with Accoya equalling or exceeding the durability of tropical hardwoods, such as teak or Meranti.
- Outstanding dimensional stability means there is little warp, twist, swelling or bending, making Accoya ideal for coated cladding.
- The process not only retains the natural strength, beauty and light weight of the wood but adds increased hardness and makes Accoya virtually rot proof.
- Accoya is made to a very stringent highly consistent quality resulting in a 60 year service life.
- The consistent measurable quality runs all the way through the wood allowing us to provide a wide variety of profiles and a product that can be cut and machined on site with no resultant loss in quality.
- Our in house paint line means that we can ensure the quality of painting and coating of our timber cladding.
- A major advantage for customers concerned about the cost is the extended recoating life cycle of Accoya, this results in a low ongoing maintenance cost, thus reducing the whole life cost of Accoya cladding.
- Consistent supply from FSC certified forests, coupled with the environmentally friendly acetylisation process means that Accoya is 100% recyclable, non-toxic and naturally renewable.
Accoya wood is the material of choice for exterior cladding where an extremely durable, high quality appearance is required, with a stained or painted finish.
