Whether you’re embarking on a new build or a renovation, we believe Abodo timber cladding is an excellent choice for creating stunning, durable, and eco-friendly homes. Here’s why.

What Is Abodo Timber Cladding?

Abodo is a New Zealand-based company that manufactures thermally modified timber products for a variety of applications, including cladding, decking, and interior panelling. They offer a selection of sustainable, locally sourced timber products that are both durable and visually striking.

Their timber cladding is perfect for Queenstown’s harsh alpine environment, providing long-lasting protection against the elements while maintaining its beauty over time. Abodo’s timber is sustainably sourced from FSC® certified New Zealand pine plantations and is thermally modified using a chemical-free process that enhances its durability without harmful preservatives.

The Sustainability of Abodo Timber Cladding

One of the standout features of Abodo timber cladding is its sustainability. Abodo goes above and beyond to ensure their products have minimal environmental impact. Here's why:

  • Locally Sourced: Abodo timber comes from sustainable, rapidly renewable New Zealand pine plantations. By supporting local forestry, the carbon footprint of transportation is kept to a minimum.

  • Chemical-Free Process: Abodo uses a thermal modification process that makes the timber more durable and resistant to decay without the use of harmful chemicals, offering a safer, greener alternative to traditional treated timber.

  • Carbon-Negative Lifecycle: Abodo timber is carbon-negative over its lifecycle, meaning it stores more carbon than is emitted during its production, which makes it an excellent choice for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

  • Durability: Thanks to its thermal modification, Abodo cladding is incredibly durable, requiring minimal maintenance over its lifespan.

By choosing Abodo, you’re not only investing in a high-quality product, but also in a more sustainable future for your home.
