Accoya uses a process to chemically alter the structure of wood. As a result, it is more durable and resistant to moisture and fungi, the main contributor to timber decay. Accoya meets the highest durability class (‘class 1’), which corresponds to the durable tropical species such as Teak and Merbau.
These characteristics make Accoya perfect for charring by preventing it from warping and distortion. A beautiful and very distinctive finish is achieved during the Shou Sugi Ban process.
