Are you seeking a sustainable and stylish alternative to tropical hardwoods such as teak, ipé and afrormosia? Then you should definitely take a look at Abodo. This innovative brand from New Zealand combines elegant aesthetics with exceptional stability and a minimal carbon footprint. The result is a forward-facing wood that is becoming increasingly popular with architects, entrepreneurs and designers the world over.
New Growth Feature Timbers: Abodo’s story
Abodo® only uses FSC®-certified, fast-growth Radiata pine from sustainably-managed plantations in New Zealand. This makes Abodo a renewable alternative that helps protect ancient forests and their irreplaceable biodiversity. Thanks to a chemical-free heat treatment process, the wood boasts excellent dimensional stability, better moisture resistance and a natural, warm look. Vertical grain technology lends the wood a sleek, linear style that is a feature of Abodo.
A range designed for architecture: Vulcan® and Vaaro® Fire
- Vulcan® represents the premium range: quarter-sawn and extremely stable – available in wide profiles up to 280 mm, for outdoors too.
- Vaaro® Fire offers fire-retardant properties and is classified as fire class B* without the need for any additional fire-retardant treatment, making it ideal for projects with heightened fire safety requirements.
