Thermal Gain on Decks
Decking and terraces under the sun is prone to thermal gain, and during the hot summer days, the deck temperature can reach over 65 °C.
Using a thermogram image analysis, Accoya®, was tested long side with three variants of WPC decking.
The ambient temperature of the test site was 32°C.
Accoya®
39 ~ 47°C
Thermally modified wood
47 ~ 51°C
Wood Plastic Composite
53 ~ 57°C
The thermograms indicates Accoya®’s thermal gain is substantially less than the alternatives tested. This makes it truly “barefoot friendly” and resistance to cupping and splintering with prolonged weathering.

INSECT DECAY
Accoya® wood is indigestible to a wide range of pests and an effective barrier to attack. For instance, when tested for termites according to AWPA E1 standards, appearance ratings consistently scored ≥ 9 (Light Attack), whereas the control sample averaged 3.5 (worse than Heavy Attack). Additionally, Accoya® wood exhibited an average weight loss of only 1.43%, compared to the control sample's average of 32.06%.

Additionally, Accoya® wood exhibited an average weight loss of only 1.43%, compared to the control sample's average of 32.06%.
MACHINABILITY
Processing does not affect the unique properties of Accoya® wood, as it is modified throughout and not leachable. It is relatively easy to process and can be compared to profiling a soft wood species. No special tools are required for cross cutting, ripping, planing, routing and drilling. Sanding before finishing is rarely required.

GLUING
Both load bearing and non-load bearing applications have been tested using adhesive systems related to laminating, finger jointing and frame corner joints. While good results can be achieved with most common adhesives, PU, epoxy and PRF adhesives give the best results. The results of gluing with polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and melamine urea formaldehyde (MUF) can vary greatly. Specific recommendations for your project are available upon request.

FINISHING
Most commonly used coating systems can be used on Accoya® wood. Testing has been performed with a full range of oilbased and water-based coating systems. Leading coating manufacturers have found that their products last three or more times longer when used on Accoya® wood. Specific recommendations for your project are available upon request.
