Accoya® Timber: Premium Quality for Bespoke Joinery Projects

​

At Dovetail Joinery, we are proud to be an Accoya® Approved Manufacturer, specialising in crafting high-performance timber windows, doors, and much more. Accoya® is a revolutionary wood that combines the beauty of natural timber with exceptional durability, making it an ideal choice for both traditional and contemporary joinery projects.

​

What Is Accoya®?

​

Accoya® is a modified wood produced through a patented process called acetylation, developed by Accsys Technologies. This process involves treating sustainably sourced softwood, such as Radiata pine, with acetic anhydride (derived from acetic acid). The treatment alters the wood's molecular structure, reducing its ability to absorb water and enhancing its resistance to decay, warping, and swelling. The result is a timber that performs like the best hardwoods but retains the benefits of a softwood, such as superior thermal performance.
