Offering you the world’s most advanced sauna solution, using only the best long lasting, sustainable timber to compliment your home.
Choosing the right timber
Choosing the right materials to bring a project to life is vital. Significant emphasis is often placed on a products functionality, as well as its aesthetic appeal, but possibly the most critical factor is performance of the materials it is built in.
Performance and sustainability meet hand in hand
The importance of material choice cannot be overlooked. The decision rests on a multitude of factors, including cost, performance, and sustainability. It’s critical that the materials specified for your sauna work together cohesively, as one system, to ensure the optimal outcome.
While there are many factors at play, the use of highly durable materials, both on the interior and exterior, is paramount in ensuring the structure’s longevity. With Accoya wood you have it all.
Accoya wood, is modified through a process of acetylation, which boosts the acetyl levels of the wood to prevent water absorption, increasing dimensional stability and durability. In fact, it strengthens the wood to such an extent that it is the only wood in the world to offer a 50-year warranty.
Low maintenance
Investing in materials upfront ensures longevity and resistance to wear and tear. This means that, in the long-term, the need for frequent replacements and maintenance is reduced which cuts long-term upkeep costs, enabling you more time to spend in the sauna.
Why Accoya?
Accoya brings unprecedented reliability for timber; it is checked and trusted not to visibly swell, shrink or distort, with minimal movement. Highly durable, it withstands the test of any climate and is a highly rot resistant wood.
Performance that lasts a lifetime
Accoya is a highly proven product with testing from many different perspectives, locally in the Australian climes and on a worldwide basis. Many tests have been conducted in real life conditions, over many years.
Accoya is so reliable that for many years it has been, and continues to be used by scientists as the benchmark against which other treatments and modified timbers are measured.

COOL IN THE SUMMER
When it comes to sauna materials and decking, it is very important how you feel when you are in contact with materials. The key factors for this are heat generation and a pleasant surface.
Heat build-up can be a significant problem. Boards warm up in the heat. Some materials heat up so much that they become too hot. Not Accoya. Tests with thermogram images showed that Accoya wooden decks stay pleasantly cool, even on the hottest days and Accoya performed significantly better than comparable decking materials.
SOFT SURFACE WITHOUT SPLINTERS
Accoya is very dimensionally stable. This means that the decking has a more even surface, will resist warping and stay smoother for longer. Accoya decking will stay smooth for years and feel very comfortable barefoot.
