Accoya® cladding delivers a beautifully understated, long-lasting exterior finish for this commercial unit project in Lincoln.
Factory coated in Colourflex Natural and machined to our popular vertical shadow gap DTC15 profile, the result is a warm, refined façade that slots seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.
Accoya® is one of the world's top-performing modified timbers. Produced through a non-toxic acetylation process, this product boasts a Class 1 durability rating above ground and is backed by a 50-year guarantee.
FSC-certified and made from sustainably sourced radiata pine, it is a responsible choice for eco-conscious specifiers and self-builders alike.

The boards were factory-coated in Colourflex Natural prior to installation.
Colourflex was specifically developed for use on exterior timber. A premium, flexible microporous coating applied under controlled conditions, the formulation allows the timber to breathe while providing a tough, flexible film that resists cracking and peeling as the timber moves seasonally.
The treatment provides a neutral, low-sheen finish that enhances the inherent warmth of the Accoya®. Factory application ensures even coverage, full end-grain saturation and consistent film build.

The cladding was machined to our DTC15 vertical shadow gap profile at 18 x 144mm (128mm cover).
Each cladding board features a precisely-machined groove that introduces a repeating shadow line that runs vertically on the façade, adding a pleasing visual aspect to what might otherwise be a flat expanse.
At 128mm cover width, the boards strike an ideal balance: wide enough to read as bold and considered, but not so wide that the profile loses its crisp, linear quality.
By blending a quality material with a premium coating and a design-led profile, the result is a project that will look the part and perform technically for decades to come.
Our team was on hand throughout the process, from initial product selection and profile advice through to coating specification and delivery.
