UPDATE / Vulcan Cladding – Standard Series Now in a Secret Fix Profile
Abodo’s popular hidden fix system is now available with a ‘Standard Series’ WB18 profile, bringing greater flexibility to builds.
Recently, Abodo’s original Vulcan Cladding – Architectural Series was complemented by the new 'Standard Series', featuring some knots and resin pockets, bringing a light natural character to the timber’s appearance, all at an accessible price.
Following the popularity of Vulcan weatherboard's concealed fix system, a new WB18 secret fix profile has been introduced to 'Standard Series' replacing the AW55 and AW702 face fix only profiles. This new builder friendly secret fix profile offers the option for a clean appearance with minimal visible fixings through the face, making Abodo's 'Standard Series' a great alternative to deliver a high-performance timber cladding for modern budget-conscious builds.
Key benefits of Vulcan Cladding – Vertical Grain, Standard Series:
- Available in Bandsawn Finish and one secret fix profile – WB18 Profile 135x18mm, can be installed vertically and horizontally
- Offered in Abodo’s nine Protector coating colours
- Thermally modified using heat and steam – for enhanced durability and stability
- Created with Abodo’s patented vertical grain technology for additional stability and improved weathering
- New Zealand grown and manufactured, from rapidly renewable Radiata forests
- Carbon storing – each square metre of 18mm thick Vulcan Cladding (Standard Series) stores 7.56kg of carbon
