NWPA6Detailed Information
Accoya® cladding is an advanced wood product manufactured by Accsys Technologies. Through a process called acetylation, Accoya® wood is modified to create a superior-quality material with outstanding performance, stability, and durability. It retains the natural appearance of pine wood and is available in various grades and sizes.
When untreated, Accoya® has a cream or straw colour, making it an excellent choice for exterior cladding. Accoya® is also available as Accoya Color Grey. For more in-depth details, you can explore the Accoya® Wood Information Guide.

Durability
- Accoya® wood’s durability (resistance to rot) is Class 1, matching and even exceeding the performance of nature’s most durable woods such as Oak, Teak, Iroko and Sapele. Every batch of Accoya® wood is tested after production to ensure that its durability can be guaranteed.
- Class 1 durability – facilitating a longer life span.
- Significantly enhancing the dimensional stability of Accoya® wood provides compelling environmental advantages over slow-growing hardwoods (which are often unsustainably sourced) and non-renewable carbon-intensive materials such as plastic, steel and concrete.
- Properties of Accoya® wood match, or even exceed those of the best tropical hardwoods, yet is manufactured from sustainably sourced wood.
Sustainability
By significantly enhancing the durability and dimensional stability of fast growing, abundantly available certified wood species, Accoya® wood provides compelling environmental advantages over scarce slow growing hardwoods, woods treated with toxic chemicals, and non-renewable carbon-intensive materials such as plastics, steel and concrete. Accoya® has been certified at the C2C Gold level since 2010, as the only structural building material around. A large benefit of C2C certification is that, especially at the higher certification levels (Gold & Platinum) it contributes to several credits in recognised Green Building Schemes such as LEED and BREEAM.
- At end-of-use, Accoya® provides no challenges whatsoever. It can be treated similar to untreated wood and thus can be re- or upcycled in various ways.
- Always sustainably sourced from abundantly available, often fast growing wood species.
- Use phase advantages: increased life span, less maintenance, superior thermal insulation.
- Non toxic and 100% recyclable – a perfect fit with the bio-cycle of the C2C philosophy.
- CO2 negative over the full life cycle.
Specify
If you have decided that Timber Cladding is going to be one of the materials on your project the next step is to create a specification that will meet the criteria and expectations you, and your client have.
NORclad will be happy to talk through what is available and enable you to select, amongst others: species, profile, size, treatment, requirement for Euro Class B, service life.
We offer installation guidance, detailing guidance based on TDUK documentation, with a wealth of knowledge and information on how different timbers will perform over the life span of your project.
Considerations that should be made when it comes to weather, along with how elevation and design variations can impact timber cladding.
Please get in contact if you would like NORclad to create an H21 specification for you, or download direct via NBS here.
