High Quality Sustainably Sourced Accoya Wood

Accoya Timber

Accoya Timber is a premium modified timber chosen for its durability, stability and long service life. At Tailored Wood, we use Accoya Timber in the manufacture of bespoke wooden windows and doors, providing a reliable and sustainable material for both heritage and contemporary properties across the South of the UK.Every section of Accoya Timber is carefully selected and crafted in our workshop to ensure precision, strength and a refined finish. This allows us to create timber joinery that performs to a high standard while maintaining the natural beauty of wood.

What Is Accoya Timber?

Authentic Timber

Accoya Timber is a specially treated softwood that undergoes a process called acetylation. This enhances the timber at a molecular level, improving its resistance to moisture, decay and movement.

The result is a stable and long lasting timber that is well suited to external joinery. Accoya retains the appearance and workability of natural wood while offering performance benefits that support modern building requirements.

Why We Choose Accoya Timber for Wooden Windows

Wooden windows are exposed to changing weather conditions throughout the year. Selecting the right timber is essential for longevity and consistent performance. Accoya Timber offers excellent dimensional stability, helping frames maintain their shape and fit over time.

This stability is particularly important for sash and casement windows, where smooth operation depends on precise tolerances. By manufacturing our wooden windows from Accoya Timber, we help ensure reliable function and reduced maintenance needs.

Benefits of Accoya Timber

  • Accoya Timber is engineered for durability, offering extended performance in external applications.
  • The modification process reduces swelling and shrinkage, helping timber frames retain their original form.
  • Accoya Timber provides enhanced protection against rot, making it suitable for exposed locations.
  • Accoya is sourced from responsibly managed forests and offers strong environmental credentials.
  • Paint finishes adhere well to Accoya Timber, supporting long lasting colour and reduced repainting cycles.

Accoya Timber for Heritage and Modern Projects

At Tailored Wood, we regularly specify Accoya Timber for listed buildings, conservation areas and period homes. Its stability allows us to replicate traditional profiles, solid-through glazing bars and detailed mouldings with accuracy.

For modern properties, Accoya Timber supports clean lines and large glazed areas while maintaining structural integrity. Whether you require sliding sash windows, flush casements or bespoke doors, Accoya provides a dependable foundation.

Manufactured In House with Care

Most of our wooden windows and doors are produced in house using carefully machined Accoya Timber. We oversee the entire process from initial survey and design through to manufacture and installation.

By keeping production under one roof, we maintain strict quality control and ensure each element of the timber joinery meets our standards. Every joint, moulding and finish is completed with precision.

Accoya Timber and Bespoke Design

Because Accoya Timber is highly workable, it allows us to create shaped frames, arched heads and detailed architectural features. This flexibility is essential when matching existing timber windows or producing joinery for unique openings.

Clients can choose from a wide range of paint colours and finishes. The smooth surface of Accoya Timber supports a consistent, high quality appearance across the façade of the property.

Professional Installation Across the South of the UK

Our experienced fitting teams install Accoya Timber windows and doors across Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Sussex, Surrey and London. Careful installation ensures that the performance benefits of the timber are fully realised on site.

From single window replacements to complete property renovations, we provide a comprehensive service tailored to each project.

What People Say...

Please can you thank everyone involved with our new windows. We are thrilled with them, they are beyond our expectations.

It’s been a pleasure having your company complete this work for us, it has been made so easy.

We will of course get in touch should we have any teething problems, but we are not expecting them as the quality is superb.

Recently used Tailored Wood and I’d like to say they helped with everything from the survey and design, dealing with specifications required by the council (conservation area) to the communication, administration staff and the fitting, all was amazing! The fitter was so efficient, cleaned up, took all old windows away! I could not have received better service. Highly recommended. Thank you Tailored Wood.

Sash Windows Replacement | Portchester

We needed restoration work as well as complete replacements for some sash windows, and I have to say I now can’t tell which is which. Many of the period details had been removed from the building by previous owners but with the help of Joel and his team we managed to restore the soul of my home. From start to finish such care and attention goes into their work it was a joy to work with them.

I cannot recommend Tailored Wood highly enough. Really good local business with highly motivated staff. Not only superb craftsmen but also keen to renovate rather than replace where ever possible. Always on time, kept mess to a minimum and fantastic after sale service on any snags. If you are considering any door or window projects I would always include these guys in your round of quotes.

Sash Windows Restoration & Replacement | St Cross, Winchester

WOW! Joel & his team completely transformed our rotting single glazed windows in our period terrace home. Using a combination of refurbishment and new windows we now have beautiful wooden sash double glazed windows entirely in keeping with the property. Joel’s attention to detail, great communication throughout the project, and thorough cleaning down each day made it a whole lot less stressful than we’d anticipated. Joel & his team were an absolute pleasure to work with and have in our home, we would highly recommend them.

Amy Elizabeth Austin

Sash Windows Refurbishment & Replacement

We are absolutely delighted with our new hardwood sash windows! They are so beautiful and we are so pleased to have been able to retain as much of the original wood as possible. They look exactly like the originals and it is almost impossible to see they are double-glazed. We are so glad we did not go for the more expensive PVC wood imitations. Excellent skilful fitter too.

Sash Windows Restoration & Replacement | St Cross, Winchester

After meeting with Joel, his personable approach, and excellent advice and ideas, were our reasons for choosing Joel and his team to make and fit our windows. The windows have transformed the front of our house. The craftsmanship is excellent and the attention to detail regarding decorating and finish is second to none. The after-service was excellent.

We’re now getting Joel and his team back to install a skylight. Thank you to Tailored Wood. Highly recommended.
