Abodo Clear Pine cladding

Show products

Carpentier is an official Abodo® retailer and, with Vulcan®, offers high-end, feature timber cladding for contemporary architecture. Thanks to heat tempering, the FSC®- certified Radiata pine cladding boards boast increased stability, durability and technical performance, whilst retaining their warm, understated appearance.

Premium cladding with a low carbon footprint

Abodo cladding is made from FSC®-certified Radiata pine, from plantations in New Zealand. This makes this feature cladding an environmentally-friendly alternative to slow-growth timber from ancient forests, without compromising on style or performance. And this means you are choosing a sustainable façade finish that really stands out, without placing unnecessary pressure on precious old-growth forests.

Thanks to a chemical-free heat treatment process, the wood boasts excellent dimensional stability, natural sustainability and a warm, uniform look. So Vulcan® is particularly suitable for architectural façades which combine style, durability and technical quality.

Stability, durability and a strong architectural statement

What sets Abodo Vulcan® apart is its vertical grain technology: the timber is quarter-sawn, glued and resawn, yielding extremely stable boards, with less risk of warping or surface microcracks. So Vulcan® is a great choice for understated façades, with wide profiles and modern applications for which dimensional stability and attractiveness are essential.

Vertical grain v flat grain

With flat grain boards, tree rings tend to be horizontal, which can make the board more liable to movement or warping, and to surface microcracks. With Abodo Vulcan®, the board’s tree rings are vertical. This vertical grain structure ensures better dimensional stability, reduced risk of warping and a smarter façade.

At Carpentier, Abodo Vulcan® boards are available planed on all four sides and unprofiled, ready to be transformed or custom-profiled. This Clear Pine cladding can be fitted vertically or horizontally.

Coming soon: Vaaro® Fire

Starting in autumn 2026, we will be expanding our range with Vaaro® Fire: a super durable and fire-retardant option (reaction to fire Class B*) for projects with high fire safety requirements.

Just like Abodo Vulcan®, Vaaro® Fire boards are available planed on all four sides, ready to be custom-profiled.

Bespoke finishes for every project

Abodo Vulcan® cladding offers great freedom when it comes to finishes and appearance. Depending on what you are looking for, the wood can be left natural, weathered, brushed, charred or finished with a clear or opaque oil. Vulcan® blends wonderfully with a wide variety of architectural styles: from warm and natural façades to dark, understated or distinctly modern façades.

Cladding that stores carbon

Vulcan® isn’t just a style choice; it’s also a sustainable construction solution. Carbon footprint assessments show that Vulcan® stores more carbon than is used to produce it.

Vulcan® also comes with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and is Declare Red List Free-certified. So this cladding is particularly interesting for projects where transparency about materials, circularity and a low environmental impact are essential.

Did you know?

As it grows, a tree absorbs the CO₂ present in the air and stores the carbon CO₂ releases in the wood. This is how Abodo Vulcan® cladding captures more than 7.56 kg of carbon per m².
