OUTSTANDING DURABILITY
FROM LATHAMS
The UK’s largest independent timber and panel products
distributor, James Latham, now offers the next generation of
timber and panel products through all nine of its nationwide
panel depots with both Accoya ® and Medite ® Tricoya ® Extreme.
ACCOYA ®
Sourced from fast growing sustainable forests, Accoya ® wood,
which spans eight decades of research, is a certified softwood
which uses Accsys’ proprietary wood acetylation technology to
deliver exceptionally high levels of performance, stability and
durability.
Boasting a 50-year guarantee for exterior use and 25-years
when used in the ground, Accoya ® wood offers all kinds of
new possibilities and solutions for outdoor projects which may
involve challenging and demanding applications.
It can be used for virtually any joinery project and is a perfect
solution for exterior cladding, siding and façades where
aesthetics, less frequent maintenance, dimensional stability,
durability and insulation value are key factors.
With a 50-year guarantee Accoya ® wood is perfect for exterior
windows.
Plus, for window frames, Accoya ® wood is the material of choice.
Not only does it have extremely low thermal conductivity but it
matches or exceeds the durability and dimensionally stability
of the best tropical hardwoods. It can be opaque coated or, for
those wishing to enjoy the natural look of wood, translucent
coated. Accoya ® wood’s low maintenance requirements add to
its cost effectiveness and environmental credentials.
MEDITE ® TRICOYA ® EXTREME
This panel exhibits outstanding durability and dimensional
stability, allowing it to be used in applications once limited
to products such as concrete, plastics or metals. With the
added benefits of light weight, sustainable raw materials and
a guarantee of up to 50 years above ground and 25 years in
ground, Medite ® Tricoya ® Extreme provides architects, specifiers
and designers with an entirely new construction material,
allowing greater design flexibility and endless opportunities for
creativity.
The combination of acetylated wood fibre with the manufacturing
technology of Medite MDF means it can be used in situations
and applications where normal MDF panels cannot.
Using sustainably sourced FSC ® timber, Medite ® Tricoya ®
Extreme is made using a high-performance resin which has zero
added formaldehyde in its formulation, ensuring the product is
also suitable for environmentally sensitive areas.
James Latham’s Technical Timber Sales Development Manager,
Justin Hayward explained, “These products offer ground breaking
levels of performance in both stability and durability as well as
outstanding environmental standards and they are fast becoming
recognised by architects, joiners, specifiers and the construction
industry as the materials of choice for exterior applications. “

However, it maintains all the design, fixing and machining
flexibility of medium density fibreboards.
Medite ® Tricoya ® Extreme was used to create this fantastic
‘Buzzbench’ which was used as a biotape for bees.
