Vulcan Shingles
Abodo Vulcan Shingles are created using Vulcan timber, resulting in a product with all the beauty, durability and stability of this thermally modified eco-timber.
Delivering all the charm of yesteryear, updated for ease of use in modern applications, Abodo Vulcan Shingles are a durable, high-end architectural finish for roofs, walls and gable ends.
The durability of the product is furthered by a low-VOC, water-based OPX preservative treatment that guards against mould and insects.
It is also lightweight, making it easy to install and maintain. The beautiful homogenous brown colour will silver off with exposure to weather if left uncoated.
Vulcan Shingles are detailed with a ventilation cavity system for wall and roof applications to extend the durability of the timber by enabling air flow beneath the shingles to reduce moisture build up. This sets them apart from most standard pine and cedar shingles.
Along with the patented vertical grain construction and a fine band sawn face, Vulcan Shingles also deliver enhanced stability and reduced cupping, even when exposed to harsh weather. Add to this the verified carbon storage status of Vulcan timber, which is created from FSC® certified New Zealand Radiata Pine, and these timber shingles are sure to tick many boxes for architects, designers and homeowners.

Thermally modified timber
Vulcan timbers are treated with heat and steam rather than chemicals, which means the product is ‘pre-shrunk’ and will be more stable in service.
Natural Stability
Grown trees experience resistance (like wind for example) perpendicular to the grain, so it makes sense to produce wood products which are also cut perpendicular to the grain. Vulcan Shingles are manufactured with a vertical grain orientation, which means the shingles have great stability, even in harsh conditions.
Natural Durability
This product is naturally durable, Durability Class 1 (EN350-1).
Climate credentials
Carbon Storage
Abodo's Vulcan solid timber is proven to store more than twice the carbon emitted during the manufacturing process. This means carbon is essentially locked in the wood during its useful life. Vulcan Shingles (Wall) store 18.03 kg of carbon per m2, and Vulcan Shingles (Roofing) store 25.52 kg of carbon per m2.
Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) Certified
A guarantee that forest products come from responsibly managed sources, including forest management and chain of custody.
