Accoya® Wood – History and Benefits
Accoya® wood is specially modified timber that has become particularly popular in the premium product segment. During the early development stages in the late 1990s and early 2000s, engineers focused on improving wood durability and dimensional stability while retaining its natural appearance and considering sustainability principles. This led to a patented, more environmentally responsible acetylation technology that alters the wood structure and gives it exceptional properties not achievable through conventional timber processing.
Accoya® addresses three key needs: long life in outdoor structures, dimensional stability and natural aesthetics combined with sustainability.
Accoya® is made from Radiata Pine sourced from sustainably managed forests. The timber undergoes a patented process that modifies it through to the core, helping it resist moisture, distortion and damage while preserving the natural wood fibres.
During acetylation, hydroxyl groups in the hemicelluloses are replaced with acetyl groups, reducing water uptake and increasing stability. The result is timber that retains its shape and appearance for decades.
Key Features and Benefits
Resistance and longevity: Accoya® offers excellent resistance to moisture, decay, fungi and insects.
Its expected service life in outdoor structures is at least 50 years.
Dimensional stability: Structures retain their shape and functionality throughout the year, whatever the weather conditions.
Sustainability: Accoya® production uses timber from sustainably managed forests and a more environmentally responsible acetylation process.
Aesthetics: Retains the natural wood grain and colour, allowing wider boards without sacrificing visual quality.
Applications: Facade cladding, decking, pergolas, verandas and freestanding outdoor structures.
Minimal maintenance: Accoya® needs no regular painting, oiling or chemical treatment, supporting long-term durability with minimal upkeep.
