Timber industry benchmark
One of the first steps in any building specification process is choosing the right materials to use – for service life, purpose and aesthetics.
In wood, you have a natural resource renowned for its sustainability, immense strength and ability to be machined into countless shapes, sizes and configurations. However, for many species, wood is often seen as lacking the consistency and durability required from building materials.
Accoya sustainable wood is the timber industry benchmark for performance and sustainability.
No other timber can offer this combination of stability, durability and versatility.
Sustainability
Accoya is sustainably sourced with FSC® certification and has a minimal environmental impact throughout its entire life; from production, through use, right the way to end of life.
Performance
Warranted for 50 years above ground, surpassing even teak. Accoya gives you the peace of mind that your project will last for decades.
Specification of building materials
When specifying building materials it is important to consider a number of factors. These generally include functional and structural requirements, maintenance, sustainability, climate and immediate surroundings, and surface treatments.
The right choice of materials can transform a building project, not only aesthetically but also with regards to energy efficiency, weatherability and longevity.
Accoya windows, doors, cladding and decking are the most popular specified products but the beauty of Accoya is that it is a versatile wood material that can be used in a multitude of applications.
Accoya is listed on ArchDaily, the world’s most visited architecture website. See projects with Accoya wood and learn about hot topics in architecture.
