How Accoya® Wood Developed—and Why It Matters
Accoya® is modified timber created for demanding, higher-end uses. Development began toward the end of the 1990s and continued into the first years of the 2000s. Engineers were seeking greater durability and dimensional control without hiding the wood’s natural character, while still accounting for sustainability. Their work produced a patented, more environmentally considerate acetylation method. It changes the timber’s structure and yields qualities conventional processing cannot achieve.
Its three central aims are durable outdoor performance, dependable dimensional stability and a natural aesthetic shaped by sustainability considerations.
The raw material used for Accoya® is Radiata Pine grown in forests managed on sustainable principles. A patented treatment reaches through the timber rather than altering only the surface, providing resistance to moisture, warping and damage while leaving the natural fibres intact.
During acetylation, acetyl groups take the place of hemicellulose hydroxyl groups. Limiting water uptake in this way improves stability and helps the finished wood remain visually and dimensionally consistent for decades.
Where Accoya® Stands Out
Resistance and service life: Accoya® performs especially well when exposed to moisture and offers resistance to decay, fungal attack and insects.
For exterior structures, the anticipated working life is at least 50 years.
Staying true to size: Through the year’s weather shifts, structures retain their intended form and remain functional.
Responsible sourcing and process: Accoya® combines timber grown under sustainable forest management with an acetylation process intended to be more environmentally considerate.
Natural finish: Its grain and colour remain visible, and broad boards can be specified without compromising the finished look.
Where it can be used: Common uses include exterior wall cladding, deck boards, verandas, pergolas and stand-alone outdoor structures.
Simple upkeep: Owners do not need to repaint, oil or chemically treat Accoya® on a regular cycle. The result is long-term durability with a lighter care routine.
