What Is Accoya Wood, and What Makes It Different From Traditional Timber?

inflamed5124
Accoya wood is a high performance timber that has been specially modified to boost its durability , stability, and its resistance to tough environmental conditions. Compared with regular untreated timber Accoya goes through a proprietary modification process that basically shifts the properties of the wood all the way through its profile, and this helps it resist swelling, shrinking and also general deterioration

One of the big advantages is dimensional stability. Regular timber can expand and contract quite a lot when moisture levels go up or down, which then can cause movement, hairline cracking, or even warping over time. Accoya is built to reduce those headaches , so it’s often chosen for exterior uses like cladding, decking , doors, windows, and other architectural features

Accoya also has a very natural look, and it can be finished in lots of different ways to match many design styles. For Inflamed, Accoya is kind of an appealing mix of natural charm, modern performance, and long term reliability , so it becomes a versatile option for contemporary architectural work
