Accoya® Exterior Wood Cladding
EXTERIOR WOOD CLADDING
EXTERIOR WOOD CLADDING
A new world of external wood cladding & siding possibilities is available using Accoya® wood.
Accoya® timber cladding is a durable, dimensionally stable and beautiful material with the performance characteristics of the most durable tropical hardwoods but offering industry leading environmental and sustainability credentials.
This makes Accoya® ideal for external wood siding as the cladding joints do not open, tolerances remain tight and twist is prevented.
From exterior cladding for houses to large scale commercial siding projects, with a 50 year above ground guarantee, Accoya® wood is the ideal material for exterior wooden cladding where, aesthetics, stability, durability and less frequent maintenance are required. It can also be machine profiled to suit the building design and specifications.
Due to Accoya® wood’s improved dimensional stability, the use of wider cladding boards is possible, allowing architects and specifiers greater design flexibility. Wherever wood cladding is needed, Accoya® is the right wood for your application.
PROFILE
Assessment of the stability of 15mm thick Accoya® wood cladding boards. Based on findings and observations over the entire testing period (19th September 2013 – 25th November 2015), BM TRADA concludes that:
Evidence of cupping was identified in unmodified radiata pine boards measuring 15mm thick and 195mm wide when exposed outdoors a the field test site during periods of dry/sunny and wet weather shows this test method promotes cupping.
Since no cupping could be detected in Accoya® wooden cladding boards of identical dimensions exposed to the same conditions for a period of 2 years and 2 months, then BM TRADA is of the opinion that Accoya® cladding of 15mm thickness is likely to remain free from detectable distortion over its life.
