Vulcan Screening
What is Abodo Vulcan?
Vulcan Screening is created from thermally modified New Zealand plantation timber and engineered with a vertical grain construction for superior weathering characteristics.
The thermal modification process combined with lamination means Vulcan Screening has enhanced stability, reduced resin content, is a beautiful homogenous brown colour, and is naturally durable so does not require any chemical preservatives.
An excellent choice for appearance grade applications such as joinery, pergola, screening, brise soleil, ballustrading.
Why Choose Abodo Vulcan?
Vulcan timber is thermally modified (treated with heat and steam rather than chemicals), which means Vulcan Joinery has enhanced stability, reduced resin content, and is naturally durable so does not require any chemical preservatives.
These characteristics ensure no cupping or warping in exterior and interior applications.
Vulcan is made from Full Chain of Custody, New Zealand radiata pine. A rapidly renewable timber, it’s an ideal replacement for old growth species such as Rosewood, Meranti and Western Red Cedar.
Additionally, Vulcan is the UK’s first verified carbon negative feature timber range – download Abodo’s Environmental Product Declaration (EDP) by clicking here
Vulcan is a harder (higher density) timber than Western Red Cedar and is increasingly finding use as exterior entrance doors. With a Durability Class 1 (EN350-1), Vulcan is designed to last and has excellent natural resistance to decay.
A lightweight timber, its superior thermal conductivity of ~0.12 W/(mK) is a distinct advantage for those designing passive houses and other high-performance buildings.
