How Much Is Accoya Wood?

Accoya is made from a process that increases wood's acetyl molecules, making it more durable and dimensionally stable. The UV-resistant boards can be used for a variety of applications including siding and decking. Cost: $3.50 to $4.80 per linear foot.

Is Accoya wood expensive?

Accoya, for example, is fairly relatively expensive but due to its durability/life span and other unique properties – the cost to decorate is lower than most other timbers and the coatings last longer than when applied to most other wood – this can have a positive impact on the overall life cost.

Is Accoya cheaper than hardwood?

Accoya wood is traditionally a softwood, which tend to be less durable and require more maintenance than hardwoods. However, softwoods tend to develop quicker than hardwoods, meaning they're cheaper to manufacture.
