Accoya wood

Accoya wood offers exceptional performance. Manufactured from sustainable softwood, Accoya undergoes a patented, non-toxic acetylation process that permanently alters the wood right through to the core. The result: an eco-friendly solid wood with durability, dimensional stability, and beauty that is equivalent to or even better than the finest tropical hardwood.
