5 reasons why we use Accoya wood in Armadilla pods
Timber is usually the preferred material for modular houses and prefabricated cabins. However, you might wonder why among all the options, we chose Accoya wood for our Armadilla pods. As champions of sustainable design, we believe in creating structures that are not just visually appealing but also durable and efficient. Accoya wood perfectly embodies these values, offering unique benefits that set it apart from other materials.
Benefits of Accoya wood
Industry-leading durability: Unlike traditional timbers that swell, warp or rot due to moisture, Accoya is highly dimensionally stable, maintaining its original shape and dimensions no matter what. Proof of this longevity is its 50-year warranty, giving us and our clients peace of mind in every project. Accoya withstands even the most extreme weather conditions, making it a reliable option for any location.
Versatility: Accoya offers not only the beauty of natural wood but also a wide range of finishes. Unlike most timbers, Accoya can be left untreated to weather naturally, imparting your cabin a characteristic silvery-grey colour. When coating the options are many, including smooth, brushed or charred finishes; which allows us to craft natural wood-looking pods that feel soft to the touch.
Low maintenance: Many timbers require regular painting to stay fresh. However, Accoya’s stability ensures no coat is needed and that, if applied, it lasts for longer. With a 50-year life expectancy, Accoya represents a smart long-term investment, ensuring that the cladding of our Armadilla pods remains intact with minimal effort.
Efficiency at its core: Accoya’s thermal insulation properties are far superior to hardwoods and other materials such as PVC, aluminium, and concrete, making Armadilla pods more efficient in heating and cooling. Coupled with a wide range of advanced technology, the result is a luxury cabin that provides the highest degree of comfort at the minimum running costs.
Excellent sustainability credentials: Sourced from fast-growing sustainable forests and Cradle to Cradle Gold certified, sustainability stands as Accoya’s trademark. With a notably low carbon footprint and being entirely recyclable, Accoya has a minimum environmental impact at each stage of its lifecycle.
Crafted to embody sustainability without compromising on quality, Accoya stands as the premier choice for Armadilla pods, luxury sustainable accommodations that last a lifetime. If you want to know more about our products or our innovative approach, get in touch.
