At Darcy Joinery we are proud to say that we also utilise one of the very best types of wood available – Accoya. The product of decades of research and development, Accoya wood combines the exceptional properties of tropical hardwoods with the benefits of being sustainably sourced; as well as being manufactured using a non toxic method that ensures the environment is not harmed at any stage of the manufacturing or recycling process. Combining the time tested method of acetylation with a patented technology; Accoya is a high performance wood that is perfect for any application. This great material can be used for almost any job, from windows and doors through to boats and bridges; and due to the fact that it is modified all the way through you do not need to worry about any exposed edges that require further treatment. Not only this, but Accoya has a wide range of other benefits over traditional woods, including:

• Swelling and shrinkage reduced by at least 75%
