Accoya uses an Accoya lumber core frame; Tricoya uses composite skins on a steel frame. The shared TimberLife name does not make their construction identical.
ICON uses the TimberLife Tricoya foundation with a wrapped factory finish. Its finish instructions should not be replaced with ordinary wood staining advice.
