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.

Comparison of the technical specification of different wood and Accoya® wood using various source species. Accoya® wood1 based on a typical pine source material.
“Janka Hardness and Bending Strength are based on wood conditioned at 65% RH and 20°C. Values are heavily influenced by local growth conditions.”
