This decking and pool deck surround made of Accoya Color Grey was built in the yard of this family home. In addition to the charm of real wood, the grey decking boards also bring a wonderful contrast to the garden. The grey colour of the wooden deck looks very nice between the blue of the swimming pool and the green of nature.

Accoya decking replaced an existing wooden deck that had rotted and had to be replaced.

When the homeowner needed to replace his old hardwood deck, it was clear that he wanted a sustainable wooden deck again. This time, however, he chose decking made from durable Accoya wood so the deck won’t need to be replaced for decades.

Barefoot-friendliness was also an important benefit in the pool area: Accoya decking continues feeling smooth under feet over time as there are no nasty cracks or splinters.

The homeowner was quickly won over by the Accoya Color Grey decking. His old deck had naturally turned grey over time and acquired a silver-grey patina. The owner did not want to wait and go through this weathering process again, which is why he was interested in pre-greyed decking boards. However, conventional, pre-greyed alternatives were out of the question, as annual re-oiling is too expensive. Accoya Color Grey decking was clearly the best alternative.

Thanks to a sophisticated dying process, Accoya Color Grey decking boards are dyed all the way through – from the surface to the core. The grey colour therefore remains in the long term and requires no oiling or re-dying. Since the grey colour is all the way through the board, it also means scratches and scrapes are not visible.
