The exterior of the exciting new Vodafone Building in Christchurch will be clad with Abodo’s natural wood Vulcan Cladding.
Internal features and stairs inside the building also feature Vulcan in an architectural showcase by architects Jasmax. Vulcan Cladding was specified as a beautiful, locally sourced solution, with high performance.
The purpose-built four-level facility at 213-221 Tuam St will allow Vodafone to bring together 350 Christchurch staff into one central location, with significant capacity for future expansion and growth, the company says.
The building will have 8300sqm of open plan floor space and will include a retail unit and cafe on the ground floor. It is being built by developer Calder Stewart.
The expected completion date is mid-2016.
An enhanced Protector coating formulation, is being rolled out. Factory coating of the new Protector in Patina, Teak, Straw, Nero, Walnut, White, and Clear is now happening.
Responding to customer demand for greater fixing depth, builders will get an extra 10mm where they need it most. Replacing the 65mm, the new 75mm Cladding Screw is arriving in September 2026.
Abodo introduces a breakthrough that reshapes what’s possible in timber design: Vaaro Fire, an ultra-durable, fire compliant timber* - all from one trusted manufacturer.
Lead times for our main Vulcan® Cladding, Decking, Screening and Panelling lines, temporarily extended.
