Environmental Benefits of Accoya
Accoya wood offers you an environmentally compatible, durable wood that can be used with confidence in outdoor applications and will last for many, many years. Accoya wood forms an effective barrier to insect attack; it is indigestible to micro organisms and insects and therefore more durable to wood-destroying fungi and virtually rot-proof. The Accoya wood manufacturing process is Non Toxic and adds nothing to the wood that does not naturally occur.
Accoya is 100% environmentally friendly FSC sourced timber ideal for garden use - unlike lower cost 'treated timber'.

Painting Wooden Garden Obelisks and Planters
Our obelisks and planters are hand painted within our temperature controlled paint booth to ensure that the painting process is carried out within the correct temperature range, as required by the paint manufacturers guidelines.
The painting process that we choose to follow includes application of End Grain Sealant where required, one coating of Anti-stain Primer undercoat and a minimum of 3 top coats of paint in the colour of your choice. We allow 24 hours drying time between coats of paint and when painting is complete we allow 7 days 'curing' time for the painted obelisks and planters to harden off in our workshop before they are packed ready for delivery.
Genuine Quality Paints
We only use top quality, environmentally friendly water based paints exterior eggshell paints from Farrow & Ball and the Little Greene Paint Company.
