Vulcan Cladding — Vertical Grain, Standard Series
Description

Vulcan Cladding - Vertical is created from thermally modified New Zealand plantation timber and engineered with a patented vertical grain construction for superior weathering characteristics. A fine sawn face allows a depth of grain, and optimal coating performance. Vulcan Cladding - Vertical Grain is available in Architectural and Standard Series.

Vulcan Cladding is CodeMark Certified for guaranteed acceptance with New Zealand Building Authorities and conformance with the New Zealand Building Code, and is covered by a 15 year Built to Last Warranty.

Standard Series

The Standard Series includes some knots and natural features, and is available in a select range of colours and profiles.

Available in a limited range of architectural profiles and can be supplied factory coated in Abodo Protector – Abodo’s high performance penetrating exterior oil. The Standard Series is designed to be an affordable cladding material with visual features and defects present as part of the timber grade. For a higher aesthetic appearance with less visual features the Architectural Series is recommended.

  • Colour Range: Abodo’s Protector coating colours x 9
  • Finish: Bandsawn
  • Profile: WB18 (135x18) — Vertical & Horizontal
Key Features
  • A renewable alternative to Western Red Cedar, Abodo's Vulcan timber is verified to store more carbon than is used in its production. 
  • The thermal modification process used in its production results in a stable timber with low moisture content — meaning it won’t warp, cup or bleed. 
  • Suitable for coating in dark colours, even in warm climates.
  • Create clean lines using various profiles, including vertical shiplap and bevel back. With a variety of coatings and finishes, Vulcan is perfect for bespoke architectural aesthetics and applications.
  • As the thermal modification process is preservative and chemical free, Vulcan timber is ideal interior applications and joinery.
  • Manufactured with a patented process resulting in an engineered vertical grain orientation that reduces cracking and enables stable weathering long term.
  • Environmental Product Declaration and Declare Red List Free certified, each square metre of Vulcan Cladding stores 7.56kg+ of carbon.
