Material Confidence
Designed for exterior projects where performance cannot be left to chance. |
Exterior wood applications place heavy demands on material performance. Moisture, temperature swings, UV exposure, and long-term dimensional movement can impact the look, fit, finish, and service life of a project. Accoya® is modified from surface to core through acetylation, helping create a more stable and durable wood product for exterior environments. The result is a material that supports strong design intent while helping reduce common exterior wood performance concerns. For project teams, that means greater confidence across cladding, siding, decking, trim, millwork, doors, windows, and specialty exterior components. |

How Accoya® Works
Acetylation changes the wood, not just the surface.Accoya® is modified through acetylation, a process that improves the wood from surface to core. This helps increase dimensional stability, durability, and resistance to moisture-related movement. Watch the animation to see how the process helps create a high-performance exterior wood solution while preserving the natural character and workability of real wood. |
