Nexus Edge - Taupo, New Zealand

Using Abodo Vulcan Nexus Cladding inside and out, the owners of this home near the lake in Taupo were able to achieve a sense of sleek consistency and a seamless look over double height faces.

Made using finger jointed timber, Abodo Vulcan Nexus delivers lengthy 6m spans, making it a wise choice for two storey homes.

Positioned alongside white-painted patterned brickwork, the timber is used both vertically and horizontally to create contrast and texture for the front facade.

Secret fixings enable a universal profile across the timber boards, important for a varied application like this one. By enabling long lengths, the specification of Abodo Vulcan Nexus also lowers build costs and reduces wastage from off-cuts, which often wind up in landfill.

From a practical standpoint, the timber’s lightweight properties mean the build time can also often be reduced, as the product can be handled easily by the build team and extended for use in applications like garage doors.
