Accoya timber for outdoor use: applications for façades, decking, gardens and specialised construction projects

This balcony railing demonstrates how Accoya can be used in residential construction: understated, modern and natural. The horizontal wooden profiles provide privacy, add texture to the façade and blend harmoniously into the architecture. Dimensionally stable timber is particularly important for balconies, as railings, cladding and parapet elements are exposed to wind, sun and moisture for many years.

Accoya really comes into its own when used for bridges, footbridges and paths along the water’s edge. The timber combines a natural appearance with high durability and is suitable for public or private outdoor areas where moisture, fluctuating temperatures and heavy use are a factor. Ideal for riverside paths, garden jetties, boat facilities or small footbridges.

Accoya parapet copings provide a high-quality finish to walls, railings or façade elements. The picture shows a neatly finished wooden coping with a natural grey patina. Accoya is particularly well-suited here because dimensional stability and weather resistance are crucial to ensuring that edges, mitres and joints remain attractive in the long term.

This detail shows Accoya being used as a structural façade element at the junction with windows and sunshades. Such applications require neat joints, sturdy profiles and a material that remains reliable even when humidity levels fluctuate. Accoya is therefore an exciting choice for façade projections, window junctions, reveals and decorative timber details on the building envelope.

Accoya is ideal for façade cladding with vertical or horizontal profiles. The picture shows a timber façade with a natural, warm appearance and clean lines. Depending on the surface treatment, Accoya can be used in a light finish, with a coloured glaze or with a natural grey patina. This results in façades that look modern, durable and architecturally sophisticated.

Window sills are components that are subject to heavy wear and tear, as water, sunlight and dirt tend to accumulate there in particular. Accoya offers an attractive alternative to metal or stone here, when a natural timber finish is desired. The image shows how Accoya can be used as a window sill and side trim, complementing a timber façade or creating a cosy transition between indoors and outdoors.

Accoya window slats combine design, privacy and shading. The vertical slats in front of the window create depth in the façade and lend it a calm, architectural appearance. Accoya is ideal for such elements because the slats are narrow and exposed, and therefore require a dimensionally stable timber.

This garden shed showcases Accoya as a timber suitable for both structural and aesthetic applications in garden design. The clean-lined frame, open grid and flat roof create a modern shelter that can be used as a tool shed, a canopy over a seating area or a garden feature. Accoya brings a natural feel to the garden whilst remaining a robust solution for outdoor use.

Accoya garden furniture has a lovely natural look whilst being designed specifically for outdoor use. The chairs shown here combine a delicate metal frame with Accoya slats. The result is durable seating for gardens, patios, courtyards or public spaces.

Accoya is also suitable for spacious seating areas, tables and outdoor lounging areas. The picture shows a modern combination of benches, table tops and planting areas. Such solutions are ideal for housing estates, courtyards, schools, hotels, company premises or public spaces.

An Accoya hanging swing brings a natural feel, comfort and durability to the garden. The wooden slats create a light, inviting seat, whilst the metal-framed construction gives it a modern and sturdy look. Accoya is particularly well suited to this type of furniture because it can be left outdoors permanently and blends harmoniously into garden settings.

Accoya wooden loungers are the perfect fit for outdoor relaxation areas. Whether in private gardens, at hotels, wellness centres, natural swimming pools or public leisure facilities, Accoya provides warm, natural lounging surfaces that are suitable for long-term outdoor use. The clean, simple design gives a high-quality and inviting impression.

Accoya pergolas create structured outdoor spaces with a natural feel. The picture shows an open timber structure that can be used as a seating area, a trellis or an architectural garden feature. Dimensionally stable timber is particularly important for pergolas, as the posts, beams and frames remain visible at all times.

Curved benches, planters and seating areas can be customised using Accoya. The picture shows an organic seating solution in a public space. Accoya is ideal here for projects that require a combination of design, comfort and durability, such as for local authorities, schools, housing developments or catering areas.

Accoya is not only suitable for traditional building components, but also for free-form designs and sophisticated specialised structures. The wooden structure shown is reminiscent of a sculptural pavilion or structural solution. For architects, timber construction firms and designers, Accoya opens up exciting possibilities for bespoke designs, curved forms and striking outdoor features.

Playground structures made from Accoya combine a natural feel with excellent suitability for everyday use. The picture shows climbing features, wooden surfaces and a sturdy play structure. Accoya is an attractive option for playgrounds, schools, nurseries and leisure facilities because it has a warm appearance, is easy to work with and is suitable for durable outdoor structures.
