Advantages of Accoya Wood for Windows
Accoya wood is a high-performance, sustainable wood that is modified using a process called acetylation. Acetylation involves altering the wood’s molecular structure by introducing acetyl groups. This process takes place in specialised reaction chambers and significantly enhances the wood’s durability, stability, and resistance to decay, making it one of the best wood products on the market for joinery projects.
Once the acetylation process is complete, the wood is washed, neutralised and dried, and then processed further depending on its intended use.
Accoya wood is usually made from sustainably sourced softwood, such as Radiata pine or Scots pine. The acetylation process provides the wood with several beneficial properties, including:
Durability: Accoya wood is proven to outlast traditional woods, making it a great investment for your property. You can expect your Accoya windows to remain beautiful and functional for decades.
Stability: Accoya’s superior stability means your windows won’t warp, twist or swell, even in harsh weather conditions. This ensures your windows always fit perfectly.
Paint and stain performance: Accoya wood’s improved stability allows it to hold paint and stain coatings better than untreated wood. This contributes to a longer-lasting and more attractive finish.
Low maintenance: With minimal upkeep required, your Accoya windows will retain their appearance and performance without the hassle of regular maintenance.
Sustainability: Accoya wood is sourced from sustainable forests, and its longevity minimises the need for replacements, reducing its overall environmental impact.

Accoya Timber Case Study
Peak House, situated in the coastal town of Sidmouth, Devon, is an Edwardian estate dating back to the 20th century.
The grounds of the estate, which used to be the servant quarters, was experiencing issues with its existing wooden doors, which had deteriorated over time and had begun allowing water ingress. To address this, the decision was made to opt for Accoya wood replacement doors.
As Accoya-approved manufacturers, the team here at Joinery Solutions Southwest undertook the production of Accoya bi-fold doors and a set of French doors for Peak Lodge. Both sets of doors were finished in a white coating and featured arched bars in the glazing, meticulously crafted to replicate the original bespoke joinery style.

Testimonials
D W
Grade 2 Listed Sash Window
Very impressed with the professionalism, skill, reliability and follow up services of Joinery Solutions. We had some potentially beautiful sash windows, three of which are bowed, which had had years of DIY repairs so did not stay open, open, close properly, have furniture etc. Due to Grade 2 listing, we needed them renovated. It was not our cheapest option (Joe was transparent about the costs from the off) but feel it was definitely money well spent; we can’t be more thrilled with the difference that has been made. They weren’t the easiest to work on… Thank you so much and well done on such a super job.

External Accoya Wood Door
Just had our third external door fitted by these guys. Excellent experience again. Very clear and prompt comms all the way through. Arrived at the site on time and fitted the French doors within 5 hours or so. Very neat and clean working space. Absolutely no mess whatsoever. Quality product. Quality service. Proper craftsmen. Can’t recommend enough. We’ll be back for the next door soon.

Victorian Sash Windows Project
I had previously tried using a different window company in the local area for repairs on a Victorian sash window, after this other company let me down three time I thought I’d give Joinery Solutions a try and thank my lucky windows I did. They fitted me in within a few days and now my windows have vastly improved. Wouldn’t even think about going to another company for my windows again!!!
Lucy Mills
Heritage Windows & Door
We are incredibly pleased with the quality of the windows and door provided by Joinery solutions, so much so we’re currently the talk of the village! Joe and his team were brilliant while on site and went over and above to make sure everything was fitted to the highest standards. They ensured everything met the listed heritage requirements and went so far as to advise me on areas of the building they discovered while fitting that needed additional attention to preserve it. I will definitely be using them again to make the windows on our new extension once built! Thanks again gents, you’re true craftsmen.
