Solutions in Accoya®
Accoya® is a new variety of exceptionally durable wood that offers such great performance that it is ideal for outdoor applications.
Produced with environmentally sustainable raw materials, its superb performance stems from the use of a well tested treatment technique,
acetylation, in combination with the best technologies currently available.
Thanks to the in-depth treatment - not limited just to the surfaces but extending throughout the entire perpendicular section - no portion of
this wood remains unacetylated. For this reason, additional chemical preservatives are not needed.
RIGO Serramenti uses Accoya wood for the production of windows and doors, sunshades, panelling and other custom products.
