Timber cladding tells a story. It carries the marks of weather, the passage of time, and the craft behind its making. Few materials match the beauty and versatility of wood, and among them, Abodo cladding stands apart. It blends durability, aesthetics, and sustainability to answer the demands of modern design and environmental responsibility.

Crafted to Last

Abodo cladding does not flinch under harsh sun or heavy rain. It begins as sustainably grown timber, carefully selected from New Zealand’s renewable forests. Each board undergoes a thermal modification process — heat and steam alter the wood’s structure, enhancing its durability without chemicals. This process reduces moisture absorption, making the timber resistant to swelling, shrinking, and warping. With natural durability baked into the fibre, Abodo cladding resists fungi, insects, and decay. It withstands the damp chill of northern climates and the searing heat of dry landscapes. It performs well in urban builds and coastal retreats alike. Buildings clad in Abodo timber need less maintenance over time, yet they retain their original character.

Natural Beauty, Modern Versatility

The visual appeal of Abodo cladding lies in its honest simplicity. The thermal treatment deepens the wood’s colour, giving it rich, warm tones that sit comfortably against glass, stone, or metal. Over time, the timber weathers to a silvery grey, adding a softer charm. Abodo offers multiple profiles and finishes to suit architectural vision:

1. 1. Vertical shiplap boards, sleek and linear.
   2. Rusticated profiles, adding texture and depth.
   3. Smooth boards, perfect for clean, modern lines.
   4. Bandsawn surfaces with a rough-hewn character that suits rural settings.

Each profile offers flexibility for residential homes, public buildings, or commercial spaces. Designers can let the timber age naturally or apply finishes that preserve its original tone. Either way, the wood’s natural grain remains visible, celebrating its organic origins.

Sustainability at the Core

Environmental impact matters more than ever, and Abodo cladding answers this need at every step. Its raw material comes from FSC®-certified forests — plantations managed with care for biodiversity, soil health, and responsible harvesting. Thermal modification relies on heat and steam, avoiding the harsh chemicals common in treated timber. At the end of its life, Abodo cladding leaves no toxic trace. It can be recycled, repurposed, or left to decompose naturally, returning to the earth with minimal harm. This commitment to sustainability runs deep — from forest to façade.

Practical Benefits for Builders and Designers

Builders value cladding that handles well on-site, and Abodo meets the mark. It is dimensionally stable, so boards stay true during installation. With consistent quality across every plank, time spent sorting and trimming is reduced. It readily accepts stains, oils, and paints, offering further flexibility. Architects can select colours harmonising with the landscape or make bold design statements. Abodo’s compatibility with modern fastening systems streamlines installation and ensures clean finishes.
