Decking Applications
Accoya decking is very versatile, discover some typical uses here.
Barefoot Friendly Wood Decking
When it comes to decking, it is very important how you feel when you walk barefoot. The key factors for this are heat generation and a pleasant surface.
Stay cool in the sun
Heat build-up can be a significant problem on patios and decks. In summer, decking boards warm up in the sun. Some materials heat up so much that they become too hot to walk on barefoot. Not Accoya. Tests with thermogram images showed that Accoya wooden decks stay pleasantly cool, even on the hottest days. Accoya performed significantly better than comparable decking materials.
Soft surface without splinters
Accoya is very dimensionally stable. This means that the decking has a more even surface, will resist warping and stay smoother for longer. Accoya decking will stay smooth for years and feel very comfortable barefoot.
Beautiful Sustainable Wooden Decking
Your sustainable deck will stay beautiful and worry-free for years to come, thanks to:
Long Durability
Accoya decking resists rot and major cracks. Even extreme climates and heavy wear and tear won’t harm the wooden decking. Accoya wooden decks will last for decades and are guaranteed with a warranty.
Easy Maintenance and Care
Thanks to their high durability, decking boards made from Accoya wood are very resistant and rarely need repairs. Regular repainting or oiling is also not required. Accoya decking should be cleaned regularly with water and a brush.
Weathering
The long-term beautiful appearance is due to the natural weathering that occurs. The influence of sun and rain creates a beautiful silvery-grey patina, which gives your outdoor space a special charm. The picture shows a naturally greyed Accoya wooden deck after four years.
Sustainability
Unlike most decking materials, composite or slow-growing tropical hardwoods that are illegally logged, Accoya is made using sustainably sourced FSC® timber. It’s 100% non toxic, 100% recyclable and has the lowest carbon lifecycle footprint of any decking material.
Coatings & Finishes
A variety of colors and coatings can be implemented on Accoya decking. Let yourself be inspired by a few examples.
Stunning Vancouver home
Accoya decking for the Sunset House
Situated on a steep and technically challenging site, this home was designed to capture views of the outer harbor and marine traffic along the jagged West Vancouver coast line. A natural, minimalist palate of raw concrete, steel, leather and Accoya wood creates a calm space that doesn’t distract from the framed ocean view beyond.
Thanks to its outstanding performance and sustainability credentials, Accoya was the natural choice. Accoya wood was used for decking, as well as siding, fencing and railings throughout the property.
Venlo City Hall
Inspired by Cradle to Cradle Principles
The new city hall in Venlo the Netherlands is a paramount example of applying the Cradle to Cradle design principles on a building scale. This project also boasts the highest possible application level of Cradle to Cradle within the fixed budget.
The most important element the design team had to consider was the use of appropriate materials which have green credentials and can be recycled. This is why Accoya was selected as the ideal timber for decking, windows and exterior facade as well as the doors and ceilings.
