Accoya: Our Timber of Choice
When considering the purchase of an exterior joinery product, you may find yourself asking two important questions: 1) Will it move?, and 2) Will it last?
Movement and durability are two essential factors that we carefully take into account when selecting our materials for your projects, which is precisely why we choose to work with Accoya - a highly durable, stable, and reliable modified timber.
Accoya is a type of pine that has been treated with acetic acid, resulting in a product that is not only robust but also sustainably sourced, fast-growing, and free from harmful biocides.
A R Manley has proudly worked with Accoya for the better part of a decade, and we are pleased to say that the issues we have had to rectify following installation have been minimal, reflecting its quality and stability.
The benefits of Accoya (see www.accoya.com/uk for further information):
50 Year Warranty Warranted for 50 years above ground, surpassing even teak. Giving you peace of mind your project will last for decades.
Highly Stable Tested and trusted not to visibly swell, shrink or distort, with minimal actual movement.
Highly Durable Withstands the test of time in all climates.
Insect Resistant Highly resistant to insect attacks and damage as Accoya is indigestible by a wide range of pests and insects (including termites), resulting in an effective barrier to attack.
Ideal for Painting We exclusively use Teknos exterior coatings for our exterior joinery projects, and we can confidently vouch that the combination of Teknos and Accoya is a match made in heaven. The paint not only looks absolutely brilliant but also provides exceptional durability, ensuring it lasts for many years to come.
