Accoya Why Use it? Accoya is a high performance modified softwood (radiarta pine).

Radiarta pine is avery fast growing timber that lends itself to plantation

growing, there for making it a sustainable product. Given that joinery

manufactured in Accoya has 60 year life and Radiarta Pine is harvested

at about 20 years you can grow three times more timber than you use.

with acetic anhydride.
