Timber
We believe timber is the superior choice for manufacturing windows and doors.
Timber is highly versatile and can be easily customised to meet specific design requirements. It can be shaped, carved, and finished in various ways to match your preferences. Whether you need bespoke sizes or intricate detailing, timber allows for a high degree of flexibility in design.
We are committed to using only the finest timber to ensure our products meet the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
This is why we choose Accoya™ timber.
Accoya timber is incredibly durable, stable, and environmentally friendly, making it an ideal choice for high-quality window and door manufacturing.
The Benefits of Accoya
Accoya timber is a revolutionary material in the world of timber manufacturing, particularly for windows and doors. Derived from sustainably sourced, fast-growing softwood, Accoya undergoes a unique acetylation process that enhances its properties to exceed those of traditional hardwoods. This transformation results in timber that is incredibly durable, stable, and environmentally friendly, making it an ideal choice for high-quality window and door manufacturing.
Durability
One of the most significant benefits of Accoya timber is its exceptional durability. The acetylation process alters the wood at a molecular level, increasing its resistance to rot, decay, and insects. This treatment ensures that Accoya timber can withstand harsh weather conditions, from extreme heat to freezing temperatures, without compromising its structural integrity. As a result, windows and doors made from Accoya timber can last for decades with minimal maintenance, offering excellent value for money.
Stability
Accoya timber boasts superior dimensional stability compared to traditional timber. The acetylation process significantly reduces the wood's tendency to swell, shrink, or warp when exposed to varying humidity and temperature levels. This stability is crucial for windows and doors, which must maintain a precise fit to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency. With Accoya timber, homeowners can enjoy windows and doors that operate smoothly and consistently throughout the year, without the common issues associated with wood movement.
Insulation
Accoya timber is an excellent insulator, providing enhanced thermal performance for windows and doors. Its natural insulating properties help keep homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer, reducing energy consumption. Additionally, Accoya timber frames can easily accommodate double glazing options, further improving the energy efficiency of windows and doors. This makes Accoya timber an environmentally friendly choice that contributes to sustainable living.
Sustainability
The wood used in Accoya production is FSC certified, meaning it is sourced from sustainably managed forests, ensuring that the raw materials have a minimal environmental impact. Moreover, the acetylation process does not introduce any toxic chemicals into the wood, making Accoya a non-toxic and biodegradable product. Accoya timber also has a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional hardwoods and synthetic materials like PVC, making it an eco-friendly choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.
