In the realm of premium home design, the entrance to your property sets the tone. The right electric driveway gate not only secures your property but also makes a striking first impression, providing an elegant introduction to the style and quality within.
At Windlesham Gates, we understand that your home deserves as much thought and care as any other aspect of its design. For discerning homeowners and landscape architects who expect more than the ordinary, our bespoke Accoya gate designs for UK homes offer an unparalleled blend of elegance, durability, and sustainability.
As pioneers in the use of Accoya wood for gates in the UK (indeed, Windlesham Gates was the first company in the country to craft gates from this remarkable material over a decade ago), we have led the way in redefining what is possible at the entrance to a luxury property.Â
Today, we remain at the forefront of premium gate design and installation, creating bespoke pieces that stand the test of time, elevate your home’s aesthetic, and reflect your own exacting standards.
Understanding Accoya Wood
Accoya is a high-performance, sustainable timber created through a patented acetylation process. This modification enhances the wood’s properties, making it exceptionally durable and dimensionally stable. Accoya wood boasts a 50-year warranty for above-ground use and a 25-year warranty for in-ground applications, ensuring longevity that surpasses many traditional hardwoods.
Benefits of Bespoke Accoya Gate Designs for UK Homes
1. Exceptional Durability
Accoya’s acetylation process alters the wood’s cellular structure, significantly reducing its ability to absorb water. This results in a highly durable material that resists rot, decay, and insect attacks, even in the UK’s challenging climate.
2. Dimensional Stability
Traditional woods can warp or swell with moisture changes, but Accoya remains dimensionally stable. This stability ensures that gates maintain their shape and function over time, reducing maintenance needs.
3. Sustainability
Sourced from fast-growing, sustainable forests, Accoya is non-toxic and 100% recyclable. Its production process is carbon-neutral, and it holds Cradle to Cradle Gold certification, reflecting its environmental credentialsÂ
4. Aesthetic Versatility
Accoya’s light colour and fine grain make it ideal for various finishes, from natural stains to bold paints. This versatility allows for bespoke designs that complement any architectural style.
