ACCOYA® acetylated wood: resistance and durability with a 50-year written guarantee
100% recyclable, toxin-free and indestructible against insects, moulds and termites
Grupo Gámiz is the Spanish distributor of Accoya®, acetylated wood.
Acetylation is a natural process that completely changes the molecular structure of the wood.
This method – that does not use any toxic elements– results in a wood with greater dimensional stability, better resistance in the expansion and contraction cycles.
Acetylation makes Accoya® wood resistant to moulds and insects such as termites, etc., as they no longer recognise the wood as food.
This is why Accoya® offers a fifty-year written guarantee.
An unbeatable wood in exteriors, with multiple applications
Accoya® is particularly recommended for exterior applications, thanks to its resistance and durability.
- Façades
- Outdoor furniture
- Cladding
- Decking
- Walkways…
Nevertheless, its natural beauty and variety of finishes are also highlighted in other applications, even interiors:
- Walls
- Ceilings
- Doors
- Windows…
