Enhance the beauty of your home with Accoya wooden windows or doors, our material of choice. As proud, accredited Accoya manufacturers and suppliers in Yorkshire, we possess extensive knowledge and have been manufacturing and installing inspiring spaces using this super-wood since 1989. Before I explain the benefits of Accoya, it is essential to know what Accoya is.
Accoya is treated wood like no other, and it is made from fast-growing radiata pine trees that undergo a modification process to become acetylated wood. This Acetylation process turns the pine wood into the world’s most stable and sustainable wood, Accoya. It is a softwood, yet it exceeds the durability, stability and beauty of the best hardwoods and has been extensively tested to ensure its exceptional performance. The result is a Class 1, molecular-modified, high-performing market-leading timber that outlasts the rest.
See Our RangeAccoya is an innovative timber and a game-changer for windows, doors, conservatories and other timber structures. In summary, Accoya performs superbly across all the 3 vital areas: imperishability, thermal efficiency and aesthetics. It looks stunning, requires less maintenance than traditional timbers and has a 50-year guarantee! It is the superior choice across the following:
DURABLE & LONG LASTING
STABLE THERMAL PERFORMANCE
LASTING FINISH IN ANY COLOUR
In our new world, we believe that making the right environmentally friendly choice wherever possible is essential. Wood’s a fantastic, sustainable material, but it has a weakness: the elements. Sun and rain cause it to swell, shrink, and eventually rot. Why? It’s all about hydroxyl groups in the wood that love to absorb water, leading to instability and damage over time.
The great news is that Accoya boasts outstanding sustainability credentials, thanks to its precise acetylation processing with acetic anhydride, which transforms wood, making it an ethically sound choice. Accoya is a wood with outstanding dimensional stability, durability, and rot resistance – built to last through any weather. Plus, it is recyclable and non-toxic, making it safe and healthy for people, pets and the environment. Sustainability: Accoya is the eco-friendly choice. Watch the science behind Accoya wood in this short video.
Accoya will stand the test of time and remain in good condition for upto 70 years. This means it won’t shrink, warp, or move. Plus, it uses a non-toxic process to create a natural wood that outperforms even the best hardwoods. Furthermore, coatings look brilliant on it and are proven to last longer on Accothere’s than other timbers. So there’s another benefit – low maintenance!
Accoya wood not only withstands every climate, from freezing to tropical extremes, but it is also more stable than other timbers. And although Yorkshire weather might rarely fall below minus 5 or roast you above 35 degrees, it can vary across the seasons. By choosing Accoya wood in Yorkshire, you can be certain your windows, doors or conservatory structure will not move as the seasons change. As a result; your home is thermally efficient all year round. In summary; Accoya has excellent thermal performance!
Whatever your window or door style is, Accoya comes in multiple colours and finish choices so you can have a truly unique look in any shade. Making it ideal for both period and contemporary joinery projects.
Not only can you choose from smooth, brushed or charred finishes, but there is also a huge spectrum of colour choices too. Its original light colour enables Accoya to be transformed into any shade from light oak to the darkest ebony or even black. So just let us know what tone suits your home!
Will Accoya wood-manufactured windows and doors keep you warm? Simply put, YES – Accoya will keep you warm and help you save the planet! Perhaps you think timber windows have a reputation for being draughty due to shrunken or swollen frames and believe this may cause your homes to lose heat. Well, this will never happen with Accoya wood windows. Why? Because frames made from Accoya are naturally insulating, locking in the warmth and keeping your home cosy (and your bills low)!
Another reason we LOVE Accoya is that everything we make with it comes with the Accoya 50-year warranty! This applies to all above-ground timber production (surpassing teak). And 25 years warranty to anything below ground. This is why I think it’s a wood that appeals to many homeowners! I think you will agree that choosing Accoya ensures your forever home is protected and will look fantastic for decades.
In conclusion, we use Accoya because it lasts. In our experience, it endures way beyond its guaranteed 50 years. Who can resist a home decor feature that comes in every imaginable finish? A sustainable and thermally efficient choice to keep your home toasty.
