Coatings for Accoya^®

Accoya^® may be coated in the same way as any other wood, using transparent, translucent or opaque coatings. Impregnating oils and other finishes may also be used. Accoya^®’s exceptional qualities including it’s dimensional stability, that reduces swelling stress on coatings, and UV resistance mean improved coatings life and less maintenance. Multiple trails in many types of environments have shown 3-4 times greater coatings life with many types of coatings. Trials are underway with several leading coating manufacturers to develop guarantees for their systems used in conjunction with Accoya^®.

In many applications the frequency and cost of maintenance is a critical factor in determining the choice of material that is used. For designers, architects, builders and property owners extended coatings life reinforces the excellent natural performance attributes of wood – beauty, strength, thermal efficiency and machinability – and reiterate the enhanced performance attributes of Accoya^®: durability, dimensional stability and reliability.
