Vulcan Joinery - Vertical Grain
With patented vertical grain technology, this laminated, thermally modified joinery timber delivers superb stability throughout the years and can be either paint or stain finished.
Timber joinery has made a comeback in modern homes, due to its wellness and sustainability benefits as well as its naturally warm look and feel. An excellent choice for windows, doors and interior joinery in both paint and stain finish.
Vulcan Joinery - Vertical Grain is created from thermally modified New Zealand plantation timber and engineered with a vertical grain construction for superior weathering characteristics.
The thermal modification process combined with lamination means Vulcan Joinery has enhanced stability, reduced resin content, is a beautiful homogenous brown colour, and is naturally durable so does not require any chemical preservatives.
Customisable and available in a variety of sizes, we supply various lengths of joinery timber from 2.1m - 4.8m, ready for joinery craftsmen to work with.

This may be possible subject to availability and minimum order quantities. Please enquire with us first.
Where can I buy Vulcan Joinery timber?
Contact your local timber joinery manufacturer and request Abodo Vulcan timber for your project. Alternatively talk to us and we can direct you to the nearest Abodo manufacturer.
What finish is Vulcan Joinery timber supplied in?
The timber is supplied in rough sawn format for use by manufacturers. Machining and finishing is completed by third party manufacturers.
Is Vulcan Joinery timber best suited to a coating or painted finish?
Vulcan accepts most coatings well. Vulcan laminated Vertical Grain can be used for paint or stain finish although paint is recommended in highly exposed exterior applications.
