We’re proud to introduce an expanded range of finishing options for our Abodo® Vulcan Vertical Grain cladding. Designed to offer greater flexibility in colour and surface finish for timber design. From deep, rich colours to light, warmer tones the range suits a wide variety of architectural styles. Each finish enhances the timber’s natural grain, creating façades with depth and visual interest.

New finish options – Abodo® Vulcan Vertical Grain

A selection of finishes from the range, each with its own colour, texture and overall feel. 

Valtos – Bold, contemporary elegance defined by deep black tones and tactile brushed textures. The brushed surface adds depth and character. Subtle shadows catch the natural light throughout the day creating an interesting everchanging facade. Valtos is the perfect choice for striking, modern statements that never fade into the background. 

Harris – Harris captures the essence of sun-bleached landscapes enhanced by a textured brushed finish. This earthy tone brings warmth without heaviness, creating inviting façades that harmonise effortlessly with both natural and built environments. 

Brora – Brora provides a classic, natural timber appearance with enhanced durability. Light brown tones, with an authentic brushed texture, evoke the beauty of the natural wood grain. Ideal for projects that would like to retain the fresh cut ‘wood’ colour. 

Dava – Dava’s smooth skimmed finish delivers understated sophistication with a modern edge. This muted, earthy palette offers calm restraint whilst maintaining visual warmth – ideal for projects seeking a polished, professional aesthetic that sits comfortably in both urban and rural settings. 

Sleat – Sleat is the perfect choice for the contemporary dark façade. The deep, charcoal colour is enhanced by the subtle texture of the brushed finish, creating visual interest with light-responsive depth. Ideal for achieving a sophisticated, near-black, yet natural appearance. 

We also offer SiOO:X Light Grey, SiOO:X Mid Grey, and uncoated options.
