Accoya Grey — Dressed All Round (DAR)
Dressed All Round means the timber has been machined and planed smooth on every face, giving a clean, finished surface ready to build with. In Accoya Grey, DAR carries all the benefits of Accoya's performance — durability, stability, and moisture resistance in a distinctive grey tone that runs right through the timber.
Common uses:
- Sauna Benches & Bench Frames: A smooth, stable surface with genuine longevity, and a grey tone that stays consistent through every cut.
- Trim & Jambs: Well suited to finishing details and jamb work where a smaller section size is all that's needed.
- General Finishing Components: Ideal for the smaller-scale interior details that pull a build together.
Accoya Grey
Accoya Grey brings all the same industry-leading performance as Accoya Natural, with one standout feature of its own, the grey colour runs the entire way through the timber, not just on the surface. Cut it anywhere along its length and it's grey all the way through, which is a genuinely handy trait for anyone cutting to size on site, since there's no surface finish to worry about exposing at a join or a cut edge.
Why it's a great choice:
- Colour Right Through the Timber: No surface coating to chip or wear through — the grey tone is consistent from face to core, so every cut, join, and edge looks intentional.
- Completely Natural, Sauna-Safe: No toxins or chemical coatings in the timber itself, making it a safe, natural choice for high-heat sauna environments.
- Same Accoya Performance: Built on the same acetylation process as Accoya Natural — genuinely durable, dimensionally stable, and resistant to moisture, decay, and pests.
- A Distinctive, Modern Look: The grey tone gives a more contemporary finish for anyone after something different from a traditional timber colour.
Worth knowing: Accoya Grey comes in smaller sizes and thicknesses than Accoya Natural, with fewer profile options available, due to the way it's produced. It suits smaller components and cladding profiles rather than larger structural or DAR applications.
