Accoya goes on deck for showhome

Titan Wood will be equipping green building showcase home with Accoya wood decking for the front and rear terraces.

Green Life Smart Life is a Rhode Island-based green building showcase home.

The use of Accoya wood will contribute to the project's LEED-H points in the category of materials and resources.

Accoya wood is made only from sustainably sourced wood.

Once the wood is harvested it undergoes an acetylation process that alters its actual cell structure, dramatically improving its performance.

According to Titan Wood, Accoya wood absorbs approximately 80 per cent less water than conventional wood, is significantly more stable, lasts much longer and requires far less maintenance.

The acetylation process makes the wood durable against fungi and pests, which don't recognise it as a food source.
