Custom Exterior Lighting – Manufactured For Your Needs
Here is an example of custom exterior lighting we recently completed. These wood finials and woodturning components for exterior lighting were made for a beach resort that needed its lighting revamped. The customer needed to choose a wood species that would be able to both look good and withstand the outdoor elements with ease.
Working closely with our team of experts, we decided to use the Accoya material pictured on the right. We chose this species over teak, which reduced the pricing substantially while hitting all the customer’s requirements.
Accoya has gained popularity in various construction and exterior projects due to its exceptional properties and environmental sustainability. It is not a species of wood itself, but rather a proprietary process applied to sustainably sourced softwood, typically Radiata pine or Scots pine. The process enhances the wood’s durability and stability by significantly reducing the wood’s ability to absorb water, which makes it highly resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage.
Accoya is also great for exterior projects because of its exceptional lifespan. It can last significantly longer than traditional untreated wood or even naturally durable species like teak. This longevity reduces the need for frequent maintenance and replacement, which is a cost-effective choice in the long run.
In terms of aesthetics, Accoya offers a beautiful and consistent appearance. It has a smooth surface that can be easily painted or stained to match various design preferences. It’s a great choice for modern architectural styles where consistency and precision are valued.
In the end, the custom lighting that was produced for this project surpassed all of the customer’s expectations.
