The result is a durable, stable and non-toxic material with performance characteristics better than any hardwood. Accoya holds industry leading environmental credentials (www.accoya-timspec.co.nz). The exceptional durability of Accoya is warranted for a minimum life of 50 years above ground and 25 years in-ground.
