We’re kicking off a series of articles that focus on our valued suppliers with Accoya, a trusted partner in sustainable and durable timber.

Timber from Accoya includes a combination of durability, stability, and versatility, which are all essential elements of the bespoke timber windows, doors and staircases that we create.

Accoya wood is treated by a natural chemical process to enhance its structure, improving its stability and resistance to decay, making it an excellent choice for demanding environments, such as coastal locations, or exposed areas that experience extreme weather.

It’s trusted by architects, manufacturers and homeowners.

What are the other benefits that Accoya brings to our timber products?

Exceptional Quality

Accoya high-performance modified wood is the choice of many because it delivers exceptional quality in a wide variety of environmental conditions.

This is integral to the modern timber technology which provides our customers with the assurance that every timber window and door will keep their homes warm and cosy in the long winter months with very little maintenance.

The Choice of Homeowners and Architects

Homeowners love the low maintenance of their timber windows and doors that Accoya brings to every timber product and Architects rely on the structural stability and design flexibility that the wood brings to a project.  With the natural beauty of wood shining through, it adds to the beautifully handcrafted products we create.

It’s Sustainable

Accoya has the environmental credentials to ensure every project can have sustainability at the top of the agenda.

• All Accoya comes from FSC® certified forests.
• Accoya wood is one of the few building materials certified Cradle to Cradle Gold.
• Non toxic and 100% recyclable.

 

Modern Timber Technology

One of the biggest misconceptions around using timber for new doors and windows is that will rot, will make a home drafty and won’t last.  Modern Timber Technology changes this narrative and suppliers like Accoya are integral to this.  They use an innovative process that modifies the wood at a molecular level, This significantly enhances durability without compromising its natural character. The process reduces the wood’s ability to absorb water, resulting in exceptional dimensional stability and resistance to rot.

Accoya wood is proven to last for decades, even in challenging outdoor environments, making it a strong contender against materials traditionally viewed as more robust.

At Brookeswood, we harness the natural qualities of wood to create exceptional timber windows and doors and staircases.  We want to create products which bring luxury, warmth, character, but also stand the test of time.  Working with the right suppliers allows us to do just that.

We acknowledge the investment our customers make in every product.  That’s why we continue to work with the very best to ensure our products uphold all the benefits of modern timber technology.

Our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility is always at the top of the agenda too. That’s why all our timber is sourced from legally and sustainably managed forests. This ensures that while we handcraft products that meet the highest quality standards, we are also protecting and preserving the environment for future generations. When you buy from Brookeswood, you can be assured that the timber used in our windows and doors is not only beautiful but also ethically sourced.
