CLEAR by reSAWN TIMBER co. features Abodo® Vulcan Decking finished with Abodo Protector Oil which uses the latest in waterborne oil technology combining refined plant oils, UV protection, advanced water barrier composition, and an enhanced fungicidal package for superior exterior performance. All ends, field cuts, and exposed wood must be sealed using a treated sealer. We recommend Copper-Green Brown Wood Preservative. Contact reSAWN for more information.
Vulcan Decking is created from thermally modified New Zealand plantation timber and then treated with an organic preservative system that includes a water repellent for superior durability. The thermal modification process means Vulcan Decking has enhanced stability, reduced resin content and is a beautiful homogeneous brown color.
NOTE: Clear is a non-pigmented finish meant to protect the wood. Decking can be expected to weather naturally to a silver-grey.
