Abodo Clear Pine cladding

Carpentier is the official distributor of Abodo® and, with Vulcan®, offers high-quality timber feature cladding for modern architecture. Through thermal modification, the cladding boards made from FSC®-certified Radiata Pine gain added stability, durability and strong technical performance, while retaining their warm, understated appearance.

Premium cladding, finished exactly as you envision it

Abodo Vulcan® cladding offers plenty of freedom in finish and appearance. Depending on the desired design, you can adapt the wood in various ways.

Natural or pre-weathered
Left untreated, Vulcan® weathers beautifully and evenly. With a pre-weathering treatment, you steer that process straight in the right direction for a consistent, understated façade.
Charred or brushed
For a dark, striking look, charring or brushing is a strong option. This way, Vulcan® fits perfectly within sleek, contemporary architecture.
Transparent or opaque oil
Are you after a specific colour, or do you want to preserve the wood grain? Both transparent and opaque oils are possible.
Suitable for vertical and horizontal use
Abodo Vulcan® cladding can be applied both vertically and horizontally — vertical grain technology guarantees a sleek and stable result in both cases.

Stable, durable and architecturally striking

Abodo Vulcan® stands out thanks to its vertical grain technology: the wood is quarter-sawn, glued and re-sawn. This produces an exceptionally dimensionally stable board with a lower risk of distortion or surface cracking — particularly suited to sleek façade designs and wide profiles.

In conventional flat grain boards, the growth rings lie more horizontally, which can make the board more prone to movement and warping. In Abodo Vulcan®, the growth rings run vertically, giving greater dimensional stability and a calmer façade appearance.

At Carpentier, Abodo Vulcan® is available as a four-sided planed, unprofiled board, ready for further processing or profiling made to measure.

Cladding that captures carbon

Vulcan® is not only an aesthetic choice but also a sustainable building solution. Its carbon balance shows that Vulcan® stores more carbon than is required to produce it — more than 7.56 kg per m².

Vulcan® has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and is Declare Red List Free certified. This makes the cladding particularly attractive for projects in which material transparency, circularity and a low environmental impact are central.
