Abodo’s “Raglan Sleepout” entry was highly commended at this week’s New Zealand Timber Design Awards.
The sleep out was commissioned by owner Marty Verry as a child friendly space – with low toxicity building materials being of utmost importance.
A key feature of the house is the Vulcan natural wood weatherboards. Vulcan is a beautiful locally grown alternative to imported Western Red Cedar, and is extremely stable and durable.
The weatherboards were supplied by Abodo factory coated with a specially formulated Protector plant-based oil finish – with zero VOC’s.
“It is great to see recognition of this new, 'home grown' technology
from the design community” explains Abodo’s Technical Director, Ben
Campbell.
Updates include discontinuing Vulcan Nexus Cladding and Vulcan Decking. Vulcan Cladding 20mm profiles move to 18mm, and a new WB21 Profile is introduced.
Vulcan Cladding WB10 profiles are changing to a finer shiplap designed WB18 with cleaner, sharper lines.
Laurens joins Abodo’s growing international team as our new Head of Sales – APAC, UK & Europe.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you.
