Species: Accoya Decking Installation

Here’s a quick video of Accoya® decking being installed at a residence.  Follow the moulding process where wood blanks are turned into decking with the edges eased.  Then watch as the Accoya® deck is completed.  Accoya® FSC (Mixed Credit) certified wood was used for the front porch and back deck.  Accoya® wood is made only from sustainably sourced wood.  Because this “modified” wood absorbs 80 percent less water than does conventional wood, the wood is substantially more stable, lasts much longer and requires far less maintenance.  The use of Accoya® wood will help the project gain half of a LEED-H point in the category of Materials & Resources, exterior decking and contribute to the overall percentage of FSC wood used in the home.
