Abodo’s “Raglan Sleepout” entry was highly commended at this week’s New Zealand Timber Design Awards.
The sleep out was commissioned by owner Marty Verry as a child friendly space – with low toxicity building materials being of utmost importance.
A key feature of the house is the Vulcan natural wood weatherboards. Vulcan is a beautiful locally grown alternative to imported Western Red Cedar, and is extremely stable and durable.
The weatherboards were supplied by Abodo factory coated with a specially formulated Protector plant-based oil finish – with zero VOC’s.
“It is great to see recognition of this new, 'home grown' technology
from the design community” explains Abodo’s Technical Director, Ben
Campbell.
Abodo are pleased to announce the appointment of Stevens & Co as an architectural cladding distribution partner in Belgium.
Many wish to reduce their environmental impact when building, and Abodo’s newest addition to the Vulcan Cladding range helps achieve this.
