An A-rated triple-glazed Accoya wood window was judged New Product of the Show at Ireland’s Building Exhibition 09 in Dublin.

The window was exhibited jointly by Accoya’s Irish distributor Abbey Woods and customer Joseph McNally Joinery.

The award was made by judges from the Chartered Institute of Building to Philip Roche, managing director of Abbey Woods, and Joe McNally.

Mr McNally said: “We are the only British Fenestration Rating Council-registered window manufacturer in Ireland with an A-rated timber window. We found working with and coating Accoya very satisfactory and for those seeking a stable, durable, low maintenance material for windows that is also sustainable, recyclable and non-toxic, Accoya is the way to go.”

Mr Roche said Accoya was already generating a great deal of interest in Ireland. “Awards such as this can only help generate further confidence in the product,” he said.
