Improved Dimensional Stability

Accoya® wood offers dimensional stability (resistance to swelling and shrinkage) in both radial and tangential directions.

Tests have shown a reduction in swelling caused by moisture uptake of 70 to 80%, depending upon the source species and conditions. From oven dry to water saturated conditions, the swelling and shrinkage of acetylated wood is only minimal and, in fact, better than the best tropical timbers available.

Dimensional variability resulting from thermal changes is, like most woods, minimal.
