Accoya windows and doors

Accoya wood was first recognised over 90 years ago and is now proven to be the most durable of timber. With an excellent weight to strength ratio Accoya wood is perfect for double glazed windows and doors.

Not only is the finished effect visually stunning your window frames are 75% less likely to shrink or warp which means you will have free swinging doors and windows all year round.

The Accoya benefits are:

. Your windows and doors are 75% less prone swelling and shrinking
. Doors and windows open effortlessly all year round
. Paint or vanish lasts 3 or 4 times longer reducing maintenance costs
. Most durable wood possible losting over 50 yrs above ground
. Accoya wood is more durable than teak
. Perfect for outdoor use like sash windows and doors
. Accoya is modified all the way through to the core not just on surface layer, laboratory validation ensures it consistently reaches the highest performance standards
. Accoya wood is indigestible to insects and micro organisms
. There is a dramatic increase in durability against wood destroying fungi making it virtually rot proof
. Accoya wood is completely non toxic
. There is no need for chemical preservatives
. Accoya wood has a superior resistance to effects of UV rays
. The natural appearance retained longer
. A reduced thermal conductivity which is keeps more heat in

Cellulose is a major structural ingredient of wood but it is also a major food source for several different insects and decay fungi and makes a great shelter for others, too. Rot causes wood to degrade – particularly when it is used outdoors and exposed to moisture - limiting its service life.

Thanks to the acetylation technology pioneered by Accsys Technologies, Accoya wood offers you an environmentally compatible, durable wood that can be used with confidence in outdoor applications and will last for many, many years. As ‘Class 1’ suggests, this is simply the best level of durability possible in wood. Whilst some wood species are naturally durable, natural durability is known to be a variable and inconsistent property. Accoya wood, on the other hand, is consistently durable.

The properties of every batch are analysed by standard scientific measurements after modification, enabling its durability to at least match and even exceed the performance of nature’s most durable species, including teak. Additionally, durable woods tend to be slower growing species, whereas Accoya is made using fast growing, sustainably forested radiata pine, so old growth forests are not threatened or depleted to create Accoya.

Accoya wood’s durability makes it very long lasting, at least: - 50 years above ground - 25 years in-ground or freshwater contact Accoya wood forms an effective barrier to mould and insect attack; it is indigestible to microorganisms and insects and therefore more durable to wood-destroying fungi and virtually rot-proof.
