The Ballast Point House project showcases exceptional architectural design and a commitment to material excellence, with a stunning application of Accoya wood. Located in a demanding coastal environment, the house required a timber solution for its feature door and window joinery that could deliver both superior aesthetic appeal and long-term performance.
Britton Timbers were proud to supply the highest quality Accoya for this prestigious build. Accoya was the clear choice for the feature joinery for several key reasons:
- Exceptional Durability: Accoya is renowned for its Class 1 durability, making it virtually rot-proof and highly resistant to pests—essential for the exposure challenges of a waterfront property.
- Dimensional Stability: Its acetylated structure provides incredible stability, meaning the doors and windows supplied by Windoor Joinery will not swell, shrink, or distort, ensuring smooth operation and minimal maintenance over decades.
- Sustainability: Sourced from fast-growing, sustainable forests, Accoya meets the project’s requirement for an environmentally responsible, long-life material.
- Finish Quality: Accoya’s consistent quality provides the perfect substrate for high-performance coatings, ensuring the joinery maintains its beautiful finish for years to come.
Windoor Joinery expertly crafted and supplied the exquisite feature door and window joinery for Ballast Point House using Accoya timber. Their precision milling and commitment to quality execution brought the architect’s vision to life, transforming the raw Accoya timber into stunning, functional architectural elements. This collaboration highlights the strength and reliability of our material when paired with a skilled fabricator.
The finished joinery is a testament to the superior qualities of Accoya and a striking example of how modern wood technology can meet the most stringent design and environmental specifications.
