Fit The Best Yorkshire

After 20 years working in property development, I have seen all the corners cut by manufacturers and installers in the UK market.

Whether uPVC, aluminium, composite or timber, poor quality products, fitting and service abound in the home improvement industry,

Like most things these days products are built to last no more than 10 years. Glazing units get foggy, seals fail, moving parts seize, bend or break. Timber rots, twists and finishes fail within a few years.

To get a decent quality plastic window there is very little choice, and if you want a durable product you'd be forgiven for thinking there's only Everest, the market leader for uPVC, with their so-called 'Lifetime Guarantee' (read the small print!). Unfortunately they also come at a considerable price premium.

But why have standard plastic when there is now a more durable alternative?

North Country supply and fit bespoke windows, doors and glazed extentions made from Accoya wood.

This revolutionary timber product has been used for decades, but only started to made an appearance in the UK from 2006.

Accsys Technologies (US, UK and Netherlands), manufacture this product using their patented process called Acetylation. This natural process turns ordinary sustainable softwood into a timber which is:

Harder and more durable than teak
Dimensionally stable: no 'sticking'/warping
Virtually rot-free
Indigestible to insects
Perfect for coating: finishes last 3-4 times longer
Guaranteed for 50 years by Accoya and Red Kite (timber)
Guaranteed for 10 years by Accoya and Red Kite (finishes)
100% sustainable, recyclable and non-toxic

Accoya wood is also used for bridges, canal sidings (guaranteed for 25 years below the waterline), external cladding on buildings, and even as foundation pilings for buildings in earthquake zones!

Such are the benefits of this remarkable product that Accoya is becoming the preferred choice of architects and developers worldwide.
