MANUFACTURED FROM ACCOYA®
Wouldn’t it be great if there is a wood that was made from fast growing, carbon catching trees, combined with performance credentials that matched or exceeded tropical hardwoods, PVC and aluminium? The answer is Accoya®.
Accoya® means responsibility and SUSTAINABILITY
Therefore, all Accoya® wood products originate from FSC-certified
sustainably managed forests. Moreover, the product carries the
“cradle-to-cradle” gold mark, which is a guaranty for continuous
metabolic cycles and positively defined materials. Healthy for
humans and the environment.
UNAVITA® Accoya®
Wood at its best
The wood of the Pinus Radiata, from sustainable forestry
with FSC certification, is optimised by the acetylation
process in many respects, from the surface to the core,
100 % natural. The process reduces the ability of the wood
to absorb water. This gives the wood a significantly higher
dimensional stability and makes it extremely durable.
UNAVITA®
The intelligent solution
Therefore, Accoya® is the first choice for the manufacture
of dimensionally stable, exterior components with any
kind of stain or varnish finish. Considerably reduced
swelling and shrinkage of the wood enormously increase
the dimensional stability and thus significantly reduce
stress on the pigmented coating. This leads to less
maintenance and noticeably reduces running costs.
The outstanding dimensional stability, like no other wood,
allows the realisation of even demanding solid wood
facade designs or terrace floor boards with a width of
192 millimetres and a length of up to 4.8 metres, without
reason to worry. The acetylation process gives the wood a
pleasant warm and durable feel, is „barefoot friendly“ and
is ideally suited for prefabricated wood seats of any kind.
Classification in resistance class 1 guarantees the
highest resistance to wood-destroying fungi and
insects and enables a maximum long-term outdoor
use of this wood over at least 25 or 50 years!
