Hardwood & Accoya Decking
Hardwood comes from broadleaved trees such as birch, elm, oak, teak, cherry or maple. These types of wood make good hardwood decking materials because they are naturally quite dense and durable; lasting at least 25 years. Hardwoods also come in a variety of attractive colours - but they are more expensive than softwoods.
Iroko decking provides many years of service due its durable nature.
When freshly cut it has a distinct yellow colour that settles to a rich golden brown hue when exposed to light. This timber is also referred to as African or Nigerian Teak. It takes fixings well.

Accoya Decking (Modified Timber)
Cellulose is a major structural ingredient of wood but it is also a major food source for several different insects and decay fungi and makes a great shelter for others, too. Rot causes wood to degrade - particularly when it is used outdoors and exposed to moisture - limiting its service life.
Thanks to the acetylation technology pioneered by Accsys Technologies, Accoya wood offers you an environmentally compatible, durable wood that can be used with confidence in outdoor applications and will last for many, many years.
Applications like decking, where the wood is frequently wet and close to or in contact with the ground, demand a durable wood that is an effective mould and insect barrier. Acetylation has been shown to significantly improve performance against brown rot, white rot and soft rot. Accoya wood has also proven to be an effective barrier to wood destroying insect damage in multiple field tests and laboratory trials undertaken in many locations in the world. This includes tests with multiple species of termites.

In specifying decking, jetties and pontoons, beauty, strength and all-weather performance are important. A dimensionally stable material that will stay flat and has very minimal bow, cup, warp and split and will not be affected by fungi or rot is desirable. It is also important that the wood is non-toxic and therefore safe for people and animals. Accoya wood meets these requirements.
