Pool Decking FAQs
-
The slip resistance of any wooden decking, including Accoya, depends on several factors such as weathering, surface profiling, coatings, wetness, and ongoing maintenance. Like other timber products, the build-up of biofilm (such as algae or fungi) can also affect how slippery boards feel if not cleaned regularly.
Generally speaking, Accoya performs comparably to unmodified wood species with equivalent surface finishes, profiles, and treatment conditions. With the right profiling and regular maintenance, Accoya provides a safe and stable surface that performs well around pools and wet environments.
-
Accoya decking offers the natural beauty and feel of real wood while delivering superior performance compared to many composites. Unlike some composite boards, it doesn’t become overly hot in the sun, and it won’t suffer from delamination over time.
Where composites often contain plastics that are hard to dispose of responsibly, Accoya pool decking is 100% sustainable and recyclable.
-
Accoya requires less maintenance than traditional pool decking materials. Because it doesn’t warp or crack, you’ll spend less time sanding or replacing boards. Coatings and finishes also last longer on Accoya, which reduces the need for frequent repainting. A simple seasonal clean is often all that’s needed to keep Accoya pool decking looking its best.
-
Accoya pool decking comes with a 25 year guarantee when used in ground. This makes it one of the most durable wood decking options available, giving you peace of mind that your pool deck will look and perform as good as new for decades.
-
Accoya is ideal for pool decking due to its highly stability, durability, and resistance to rot and decay. Even when in constant contact with water and high humidity, its surface stays comfortable underfoot and can be left to weather naturally or treated, giving homeowners design flexibility around their pool area.
-
Yes, Accoya pool decking is barefoot-friendly, with a smooth surface that minimizes the risk of splinters. Its dimensional stability also reduces warping, helping to maintain an even, safe walking surface around the pool.
Accoya also performs well in warm climates, making it a strong choice for pool decking in hot regions. Unlike some dark or composite materials that can become very hot to touch when in direct sunlight, Accoya’s real-wood composition helps to maintain a comfortable temperature under foot, even during the hottest parts of the day.
-
Accoya decking carries a 25-year warranty for residential applications in direct contact with the ground or freshwater, reflecting its long-term durability in outdoor environments. When properly installed, Accoya pool decking is designed to perform well beyond the warranty period, retaining its structural integrity for many years after.
-
Yes, Accoya pool decking is suitable for use around both saltwater and chlorinated pools. Its enhanced durability and resistance to moisture-related issues make it a reliable choice in chemically treated pool environments when installed correctly.
-
Decking made with Accoya offers a wide range of pool decking design possibilities, from modern, clean-lined decks to more natural, weathered looks. Decking boards can be finished in different colours or left to silver naturally over time, allowing homeowners and designers to tailor the pool deck design and match to a desired style.
