Accoya
Batty Joinery is an official manufacturer of Accoya timber. Accoya® is the world’s leading high technology long life wood. Created via acetylated wood modification, using sustainably grown timber, the Accoya® process is non-toxic. It enables nature and creates a modified wood that matches or exceeds the durability, stability and beauty of the very best tropical hardwoods.
Durability, stability and beauty
Accoya® wood is the material of choice for window frames. Not only does it have extremely low thermal conductivity but it is more durable and dimensionally stable than the best tropical hardwoods. It can be opaque coated or, for those wishing to enjoy the natural look of wood, transparent coated. Accoya®'s low maintenance requirements add to its cost effectiveness and environmental credentials.
Exterior doors and shutters should be durable, dimensionally stable (to prevent doors becoming difficult to open and close in bad weather) and easy to maintain. Accoya® wood meets these criteria and may be used to create simple or complex designs with a choice of finishes.
Accoya® wood is suitable for cladding, siding and façades where aesthetics, less frequent maintenance, dimensional stability, durability and insulation value are key factors. Accoya®'s versatility makes it ideal for use in residential, commercial and industrial structures.
In specifying decking, beauty, strength and all-weather performance are important. A material that will stay flat and not warp, split, swell or be affected by fungi, water uptake or rot is desirable. It is also crucial that the wood is non-toxic and therefore totally safe for people and pets. Accoya® wood meets these requirements.
