Abodo for Schools

Natural wood is recognised as an ideal building material for learning environments - it has been proven to reduce stress levels and improve working environments, making it perfect for schools.

New Zealand's Ministry of Education is fully on board with this ethos, with a number of New Zealand schools being completed in Abodo cladding, including Murupara School, Kauri Flats School, South New Brighton School and Rangiora School.

The use of timber sourced from New Zealand’s FSC® certified plantation forests means that Abodo’s products are sustainable and low impact.
