One clarification. when installed, Accoya should last far more than 50 years - not "up to 50 years" as you wrote. It is warranted for 50 years and, having worked on the material and seen the many years of testing, I would guess it will last 100+ years, and more if well installed (i.e. not sitting in pools of water for long periods). It will be better than any known wood species, not just because it doesn't rot (or at least incredibly slowly) but also because it barely shrinks or swells, which prevents damage to coatings normally associated with wood, and is not an oily wood (unlike many hardwoods), so coatings affix very well.
