Despite its name, Spanish Cedar is a hardwood; therefore, not a Cedar at all and is also not Spanish. Spanish Cedar actually comes from the Meliaceae family, along with Mahogany.

The wood’s natural aroma repels insects and the high resin count makes it very weather and rot resistant.
Accoya -
Accoya is based upon acetylated wood technology, a process that has been studied by scientists around the world for more than 75 years. This method of improving wood has been proven to deliver such superior performance that it has long been used as the “gold standard” against which other methods are measured.
Accoya wood has been modified right through to the core and the acetylation process does not weaken the original wood – in fact, its hardness is improved – nor does it compromise its bending strength. Therefore, combined with exceptional durability and stability, Accoya wood can be an ideal material for structural requirements and has been used in bridges and other large structures around the world.
Native to the Southern US, Cypress trees are conifers that grow in wet or waterlogged areas of the south. This softwood species generates cypressene, a naturally occurring preservative oil that makes Cypress heartwood resistant to insects, decay, chemical corrosion, and other damaging elements making it an ideal wood for exterior use. Besides being superb for exterior use, it is also very attractive and is often used indoor as well.

The straight interlocking grain make this an ideal wood for exterior applications, such as windows and doors. We recommend this species for stain grade applications, as the coloring is quite unique.
