Over time, unfinished Accoya will develop a neutral, light gray appearance. This natural weathering process takes about 6 months depending on exposure and does not effect the quality of the wood.
Material Health
Cradle-to-Cradle Gold
In 2020, Accoya® products saved nearly 70,000 tons of C02 (equivalent to 160,000 barrels of oil consumed); and 54,603 tons of C02 locked into Accoya® products for decades. Delta Millworks was awarded Cradle-to-Cradle Gold, with a platinum rating for material health.

What is Cradle-to-Cradle Gold Certification?
Cradle-to-Cradle Gold certification is a globally recognized measure of safer, more sustainable products made for the circular economy. It ensures products are made using chemicals that are as safe as possible for humans and the environment. The standard encourages continuous improvement over time by awarding certification on the basis of ascending levels of achievement and requiring certification renewal every two years.
Delta is proud to partner with Accoya® as the first lumber mill to apply shou-sugi-ban to this modified wood. Using Accoya, Delta has created extraordinary products that preserve the benefits and aesthetics of traditional charred wood while offering warranties unsurpassed in the lumber industry.
