Many wish to reduce their environmental impact when building, and Abodo’s newest addition to the Vulcan Cladding range helps achieve this
The Vulcan Cladding – Vertical Grain range now includes two options; the original Architectural Series (now in its tenth year) and the new ‘Standard Series’.
Both the Architectural and Standard series are made from the same New Zealand grown, rapidly renewable Radiata Pine. Both are thermally modified and engineered with Abodo’s patented vertical grain for enhanced performance.
The introduction of Vulcan Cladding, Vertical Grain – Standard Series means more people can choose Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certified locally grown timbers over old growth products - allowing access to the wellbeing properties of timber for more families and workplaces.
“The new Standard Series was created for a number of reasons. Now, we’re able to make better use of the log feedstock, essentially putting a different grade of timber to much better use. And this means we can offer high performance, sustainably manufactured timber cladding to more people.” – Joe Ballester, Abodo’s Country Manager, Australia.
What’s the difference between the two options?
At a glance, here’s what you need to know about ‘Standard Series’:
Abodo® Vulcan is now available through Weaverbird Wood Co, giving California’s architecture and design community a new way specify high-performance timber.
