Our first-class Accoya® natural wood is an absolute eye-catcher with its soft and light brown tones. However, its true strength lies in its extreme resistance.
Accoya® wood is made resistant to colonization by harmful fungi and insects through a special chemical process and is therefore unbeatable in terms of sustainability.
Accoya® wood has become the global market leader in durability and sustainability.
A natural and non-toxic treatment with acetic acid, known as acetylation, gives the wood its outstanding properties. This makes Radiata pine water-repellent, resistant to fungi and rot and also extremely robust.
Accoya® wood receives the best class, number 1, in the durability class test, as it predominantly lasts a long time in comparison and is very difficult to decay.
Accoya® also requires very little maintenance, as it shows hardly any signs of UV radiation or water damage after ten years, for example.
Acetylated wood is completely non-toxic and also fully recyclable. It contains only substances that occur naturally in wood.
The acetic acid treatment is therefore a process to make the wood resistant for a long period of time and changing weather conditions, especially outdoors. and only contains substances that occur naturally in wood.
Using our traditional, vertical deep-charring process, our woods are carbonised with pure flame according to the Japanese Yakisugi method, resulting in extremely resistant, durable wood products with a unique, black charred surface structure which, thanks to its exclusive character, is also compared to alligator skin, silk wood or leather.
If you opt for the refined style, the already carbonised wood is then carefully brushed by hand and refined using a special process so that the grain and structure are revealed under the layer of carbon. Depending on the processing and type of wood, our wood finishing creates an exclusive colour look: from elegant silver-grey to an ingenious reclaimed wood look in rustic brown tones.
