Strength & Hardness Properties

The Accoya® production process does not weaken the original wood – in fact, its hardness is slightly improved – nor does it compromise its bending strength. Indeed, no modification process exists which offers the performance benefits and retained physical properties of Accoya® wood.

Wood Species
