If you’re looking for timber windows that combine cutting-edge performance with timeless beauty, Accoya is the ultimate choice. At Edinburgh Windows and Doors, we’re proud to offer expertly crafted windows made from this next-generation material—engineered to last, built to impress.

When it comes to crafting high-performance, long-lasting, and sustainable windows, the material we choose makes all the difference. That’s why more and more architects, builders, and homeowners are turning to Accoya timber—a revolutionary wood product that’s redefining industry standards.

 

Unmatched Durability That Stands the Test of Time

Accoya timber is engineered through a process called acetylation, which modifies the wood at a molecular level. The result? Exceptional durability that rivals and even surpasses hardwoods like oak or teak. Accoya is guaranteed for 50 years above ground and 25 years in ground or freshwater—making it ideal for windows exposed to all types of weather. Let’s face it, in our beautiful wee country, we can get four seasons in a day.

 

Whether you’re in a coastal home or a city townhouse, Accoya won’t warp, swell, or crack, meaning your windows stay airtight and looking pristine for decades.

 

Outstanding Thermal Efficiency

Energy efficiency is a top priority for homeowners and specifiers alike. Accoya timber is naturally insulating, helping to keep heat in during the winter and out during the summer. Combined with high-performance glazing, our Accoya-framed windows contribute to lower energy bills and improved comfort year-round.

 

A Sustainable, Eco-Friendly Option

Accoya is sourced from fast-growing, responsibly managed forests and is fully certified by FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council). Its unique treatment process uses no toxic chemicals and is non-polluting. Plus, it’s 100% recyclable. When you choose Accoya, you’re choosing a carbon-negative material with a minimal environmental footprint.

 

 

Beautiful, Low-Maintenance Finish

Thanks to its superior stability and resistance to moisture, Accoya holds paint and finishes up to three times longer than other woods. That means less maintenance and longer intervals between repainting

The wood’s smooth, clean grain also allows for a flawless finish in both traditional and modern designs.

 

Ideal for Bespoke and Heritage Projects

Accoya’s strength, workability, and versatility make it ideal for custom-designed windows, including replicas for listed and heritage buildings where authenticity is key. Its slim profiles and consistent performance allow us to deliver stunning, long-lasting windows that meet both aesthetic and regulatory requirements.
