MyBox is a pre-fabricated box constructed with low-maintenance Accoya and Tricoya modified wood products, which protect the residential units from the harsh effects of the external environment and together create an excellent U-value rating and thermal performance. The accommodation solution is assembled in a matter of days, and once constructed, is approved as a permanent building.

Tricoya® and Accoya® window renovation

Leading joinery manufacturer and timber buildings specialist, Scotts of Thrapston, has helped shed some light on a 19th century chapel in Titchmarsh, Northamptonshire.

The chapel building has been renovated and is now home to the Atmosphere Air Conditioning & Ventilation company who were after an exact replica of the original window and are extremely pleased with the result.

Scotts met the client brief by designing and manufacturing the match in Accoya and Medite Tricoya, to avoid any timber movement.

The new window was double-glazed with decorative applied lead by the expert team at Scotts of Thrapston. Some of the double glazed units also had a colour film applied for a distinctive and striking finish when viewed from the interior of the chapel.
