Accoya wood is already Class 1 durable (comparable to or better than the durability of hardwoods such as Jarrah, Rosewood and Teak) so no further treatments are needed. Plus Accoya wood is non-toxic and doesn't leech harmful chemicals. 

Uses

Limitless! The acetylation process makes pine super durable, super stable and retains all the strength of pine. This makes it an excellent choice for any situation that is starting to push the boundaries of other timbers.
