Beating the compliance roadblock with Abodo’s Codemark-certified eco timber cladding.
Compliance on a building site can often stifle creativity.
Often new or innovative materials require code compliance - and demonstrating this to your local council can be difficult.
This is because innovative new products are often considered ‘alternative solutions’ under the building code and therefore require a professional appraisal or certification, which can be a lengthy and expensive process.
This was Abodo’s challenge when launching an innovative exterior cladding range.
Exterior cladding is considered a high risk building material application and requires specialist technical knowledge. Abodo’s high performance timber cladding systems have the unique characteristic of being free of chemical preservatives – making compliance an even harder case to argue.
For this reason Abodo took the initiative of seeking CodeMark certification – an unchallengeable assurance of compliance – and an excellent tool for designers and builders to demonstrate code compliance.
Abodo’s Vulcan Cladding systems are all CodeMark certified.
Abodo® Vulcan is now available through Weaverbird Wood Co, giving California’s architecture and design community a new way specify high-performance timber.
An enhanced Protector coating formulation, is being rolled out. Factory coating of the new Protector in Patina, Teak, Straw, Nero, Natural, 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.
