Accoya® Timber: Background and Main Advantages
Accoya® is modified timber developed for demanding premium uses. Work advanced around the end of the 1990s and start of the 2000s, with engineers seeking greater durability and dimensional control while retaining natural looks and sustainability. The result, a patented acetylation method with reduced environmental impact, changes the internal wood structure and produces qualities beyond conventional processing.
It tackles three priorities: outdoor longevity, predictable dimensional behaviour, and natural appeal underpinned by sustainability.
Accoya® begins with Radiata Pine , from responsibly managed forests. A patented treatment reaches the core, preserving the fibres while increasing resistance to moisture, distortion and damage.
Acetylation substitutes acetyl groups for hydroxyl groups in hemicellulose. Lower water absorption improves stability, so the timber keeps its shape and appearance over many decades.
Where Accoya® Performs Well
Durability: exceptional resistance to moisture, decay, fungi and insect attack.
In exterior structures, the projected working life is at least 50 years.
Dimensional control: shape and function remain dependable as weather changes through the year.
Sustainability: responsibly managed timber is combined with acetylation designed to reduce environmental impact.
Visual character: natural grain and colour are retained, making wide boards possible without diminishing their appearance.
Uses: façades, decking, pergolas, verandas and detached outdoor structures.
Limited upkeep: regular painting, oiling and chemical treatment are unnecessary, allowing lasting performance with less routine care.
