Vulcan Decking
Description

Abodo Vulcan Decking is a sustainable and natural choice with timber sourced from rapidly renewable New Zealand plantation forests. Vulcan Decking features a reeded face that provides enhanced weathering characteristics and grip under foot.

For ultimate durability, the timber undergoes Abodo’s thermal modification process and is pressure treated with a low VOC organic preservative (OPX) that includes a water repellent and insecticide. The thermal modification process means Abodo Vulcan Decking has reduced resin content, resulting in enhanced stability through all weathers.

The natural timber provides a beautiful, homogeneous brown tone that silvers off, suits a wide range of architectural styles. Unlike most hardwoods, Vulcan Decking does not require pre-drilling. It’s easy to work with, cut and fix.
