Accoya wood is a modified wood that sets new standards in performance and sustainability. It offers a unique combination of durability, dimensional stability, and versatility. Accoya is a popular choice for a wide range of applications, including decking, cladding, windows, doors, and more. With its sustainable sourcing and low-carbon production, Accoya actively contributes to a bio-based economy. It is renowned worldwide for its reliability, offering excellent stability under all conditions, with no visible swelling, shrinking, or warping.

Architects appreciate Accoya for its high-quality coatings that last long and offer diverse design options, ranging from smooth to brushed or charred finishes. Accoya is not only durable but also FSC® and Cradle-to-Cradle Gold certified, and it helps reduce CO2 emissions. Non-toxic and environmentally friendly, it is a safe choice for people, animals, and the planet.

In addition to classic Accoya, there is also Accoya Color Grey, which is fully coloured through, ensuring consistent colour from the surface to the core. This means that the colour remains intact even when cut or worn.

For this edition of Architect at Work, we are introducing Accoya with Gripsure: the Gripsure anti-slip technology features two non-slip inserts per board, offering outstanding safety in all weather conditions. Gripsure decking has been tested to R13 standards, significantly exceeding the minimum requirements and achieving the highest slip-resistance ratings on the market. Additionally, the anti-slip profile comes with a 15-year warranty.
