Accoya is sustainably-sourced Radiata Pine treated by nontoxic acetylation. The chemical modification provides dimensional stability and durability that exceeds the best hardwoods.
Naturally Weathered Accoya
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.
