For a low maintenance decking that withstands wear and tear in any climate, Accoya is the answer. Here are some of the key advantages:
Accoya wood is renowned for its superior durability, effectively resisting rot, decay, and insect attack. This makes it an ideal choice for decking that needs to withstand the elements and heavy foot traffic.
Unlike traditional wood decking, Accoya requires minimal upkeep due to its stability and resistance to weathering. It doesn’t need frequent staining, sealing, or painting, saving time and maintenance costs over its lifespan.
Accoya wood exhibits remarkable dimensional stability. It has minimal shrinkage or swelling, which helps prevent warping, twisting, and splitting, ensuring the deck maintains its integrity and appearance.
Accoya is produced using wood from sustainable sources and a non-toxic acetylation process, making it an environmentally responsible choice. It is also biodegradable and recyclable, further reducing its environmental footprint while being kind on yours.
Accoya wood provides the natural beauty of wood with a uniform appearance and can be easily painted or stained to suit any design aesthetics. This makes it versatile for a wide range of architectural styles.
With a life expectancy of up to 50 years above ground and 25 years in ground or freshwater, Accoya decking is a cost-effective solution over the long term, thanks to its robustness and durability under various environmental conditions.

Consider your deck’s environment, including its exposure to sun, moisture, and pests. Is your deck by the coast? In a forested area? Exposed to snow in the winter? Choose a material that can handle the specific conditions it will face.
Over time, durability becomes essential. Opt for materials that resist fading, rot, insects, warping, and cracking to ensure your deck remains in great shape for years.
High upkeep can be a deal-breaker for many. If you’d rather spend time enjoying your deck than maintaining it, look for materials that are low maintenance, so you can avoid tasks like cleaning, sealing, and staining every season.
In case you need to replace a plank down the road, consider how easy it will be to find matching materials. Accessibility of replacement boards can save you future headaches.
If your deck gets direct sun, you’ll want to make sure the material doesn’t overheat. For bare feet comfort, pick a material that stays cool in the sun.
Appearance matters. Select a material that fits the style you want, whether it’s the color, grain, or texture, as well as the size and pattern of the boards.
While ease of installation may seem relevant only if you’re doing it yourself, professional installation costs can also vary depending on the material chosen, potentially impacting your overall budget.
More and more, people are choosing eco-friendly options. If sustainability is important to you, look for materials that are responsibly sourced and have a lower environmental impact.
Keep in mind that the total cost includes more than just the initial material price. Factor in installation and ongoing maintenance costs, such as resealing or staining, which can add up over time.
It may seem like a minor detail, but a good warranty can be invaluable if problems arise. Be sure to check what’s covered before making your final choice.
