Abodo Vulcan® Shingles are created using Vulcan timber, resulting in a product with all the beauty, durability and stability of this thermally modified eco-timber.
Delivering all the charm of yesteryear and updated for modern applications, Abodo Vulcan® Shingles are a durable, high-end architectural finish for roofs, walls and gable ends.
Durability is furthered by a low-VOC, water-based OPX preservative treatment that guards against mould and insects. The beautiful toasty brown colour will silver off with exposure to weather if left uncoated.
It is also lightweight, making it easy to install and maintain. The beautiful homogenous brown colour will silver off with exposure to weather if left uncoated. Add to this the verified carbon storage status of Vulcan timber, which is created from FSC® certified New Zealand Radiata Pine, and these timber shingles are sure to tick many boxes for architects, designers and homeowners.
Wherever possible, Vulcan Shingles are created using offcuts or short lengths from the manufacture of other Vulcan timber products, therefore minimising wastage and making the best use of our natural resources.
