INTRODUCING :: ABODO WOOD IN THE USA
lifetime beauty with tomorrow in mind

For every tree milled, Abodo ensures it provides more than 30 years of service, which is as long as it takes to grow a replacement tree.
Benefits of Specifying ABODO Vulcan Cladding

FEATURED PROJECT
This modern take on kiwi bach living features Abodo’s Vulcan timber cladding and screening.
Designed by Redbox Architects as a series of sleeping cabins with glass linkways, the bach is built around a central entertaining space and outdoor deck opening toward the wetland and gardens.
Vulcan Cladding in Sioo:x finish provides a natural, fresh contrast to the Vulcan Screening in Teak finish for the entry and garage (including a hidden timber garage door).
RECENT NEWS
Benefits of Specifying Pre-Weathered Exterior Wood Cladding
Wood is a natural, sustainable material. As such, when it’s continually exposed to environmental elements such as moisture, sunlight, and wind the physical attributes of the material changes and aesthetically evolves over time.
WHAT IS WEATHERING?
Weathering is defined as the chemical and physical changes that take place when timber is exposed to weather. Weathering factors that are responsible for the changes are: moisture (rain, snow, dew, and humidity), oxygen, solar radiation (ultra-violet (UV), visible, and infrared light), and temperature.
