Accsys Technologies has launched a modified wood product called Alder for door and window frames, which it says has gone through a process to improve its durability, hardness and water absorption, while retaining its strength, making it suitable for outdoor use. The Accoya product line carries a 50-year above-ground and 25-year below-ground warranty against rot and decay. The wood comes from Forest Stewardship Council and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification-certified forests.
