Why is Accoya wood so good?

Accoya wood ticks all the boxes, and we mean ALL the boxes. It is hard to find another material that could rival Accoya’s performance and sustainability.

• The wood is sourced from fast growing, abundantly available sustainably certified forests.

• Non toxic and fully biodegradable, it can be handled as untreated wood at its end of life where it can be 100% recycled or burnt for green energy.

• Manufactured and tested to be highly durable and stable, Accoya will not visibly swell, shrink or distort and has minimal movement.

• Its consistent finish enables coatings to adhere well and last longer, minimising maintenance.

• Highly resistant to insect damage as it is indigestible by a wide range of pests and insects (including termites), making it an effective barrier to insect attack.

• 50 year warranty for above ground applications and 25 year warranty for use below ground or freshwater.

Certifications and labels include:

• Forest Stewardship Council

• Cradle to Cradle

• Declare

• BREEAM

• LEED

• Nordic Ecolabel

• Singapore Green Label

• Green Star Environmental

• DUBOkeur

• International Wood Products Association
