Accoya is the world's leading high-technology wood. Created from sustainably sourced softwood, Accoya matches or exceeds the durability, stability and beauty of the very best tropical hardwoods.
Accoya is New Zealand-grown Radiata Pine which has undergone a propriety acetylation process to produce a revolutionary timber product. This acetylation process alters the physical properties of the wood by transforming free hydroxyl groups (molecules that readily absorb and release moisture) in the timber into acetyl groups. The process is done at a purpose-built facility in The Netherlands.
The result is a durable, stable timber that equals or surpasses the leading timbers. Better still, the whole process does not add any toxic chemicals.
Accoya is a great timber for outdoor applications such as decking, weatherboards, fencing, furniture and joinery.
