Vulcan Decking

With timber sourced from rapidly renewable New Zealand plantation forests, Vulcan Decking is a sustainable and natural choice.

For ultimate durability, the timber undergoes Abodo’s thermal modification process and is pressure treated with a low VOC organic preservative (OPX) that includes a water repellent and insecticide for termite zones. With a reeded face that provides enhanced weathering characteristics and grip under foot, this product is built to last.

Unlike most hardwoods, Vulcan Decking does not require pre-drilling. It’s easy to work with, cut and fix, making it a favoured material among professional and DIY builders alike.

Vulcan’s engineered vertical grain is crafted through a patented lamination method resulting in superior stability, straightness, and structural spanning capability.
Less cupping and warping in service with a low moisture content of 7-9%.
Reduced resin leaching – with the thermal modification process most of the natural resins are burnt from the wood.
Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certified – SGS-COC-004944 LBC.
