Accoya wood
A guide to Accoya wood
- Durability: Unparalleled resilience against decay, and the harshest weather conditions.
- Stability: Trusted not to visibly swell, shrink or distort, with minimal movement.
- Sustainability: Ethically sourced from responsibly managed forests.
- Low Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep over its extended lifespan.
Accoya wood is an increasingly popular choice for crafting beautiful, high-performance timber doors and windows. As an incredibly versatile material, it’s ideal for many different types of windows and can suit any home. This highly durable wood is rot-resistant thanks to a process of ‘wood acetylation’ which changes the cell structure of the wood to improve dimensional stability, increase operating performance, extend coating longevity, and reduce maintenance requirements. Accoya wood is a Class 1 durable material that provides peace of mind that it will last even in the harshest environments. We are partnered with Accoya and recognised installers of this versatile and long-lasting material. With Accoya wood, we can craft made-to-measure sash windows, bay and casement windows, and wooden doors that are made to last and will stand the test of time.

Hardware considerations when using Accoya
All wood types contain organic acids varying in amount between species, Accoya has a similar level to oak and western cedar which, in moist conditions, may accelerate water induced corrosion in metals. As a key component of the door or window itself, it’s important to select and correctly install suitable hardware to ensure long lasting functionality and exceptional aesthetics that your beautiful Accoya doors and windows deserve.

External door furniture
Window furniture
Window furniture components such as stays, handles and finger pulls are often classified as ‘lower risk’ due to experiencing less exposure to moisture than door furniture. However consideration should be given to areas with high corrosion levels as when windows are open, the furniture is exposed to the elements.
