Abodo® - Vulcan Cladding SiOO:X

A Long-Lasting, Silvery Weathered Look for thermally modified wood

For architects, designers and homeowners seeking a natural, low-maintenance exterior cladding solution, SiOO:X on Abodo® cladding offers the perfect blend of durability, aesthetics, and sustainability. This advanced wood protection system accelerates the natural weathering process, giving your building exterior a soft, silver-grey tone while enhancing the long-term performance of thermally modified Abodo timber.

What Is SiOO:X?

SiOO:X wood protection is a patented silicate-based treatment system developed in Sweden. Applied in two layers—a wood protection primer followed by a surface protector—it penetrates deep into the timber fibers, creating a tough, mineralized layer that strengthens over time. This unique technology:

  • Accelerates Weathering: Achieves a naturally aged, driftwood-grey look in just months instead of years.
  • Repels Water and Dirt: Helps keep your cladding cleaner for longer.
  • Minimizes Maintenance: Reduces the need for frequent recoating compared to traditional stains.
  • Is Non-Toxic and Eco-Friendly: Free from harmful biocides and designed to work harmoniously with nature.

Why Pair SiOO:X with Abodo Cladding?

Abodo’s thermally modified, sustainably harvested Radiata Pine is an ideal substrate for SiOO:X finishing. When combined, the result is a dimensionally stable, long-lasting wood cladding solution that maintains its natural character without the uneven greying typical of untreated timber.

Key benefits include:

  • Even Silver-Grey Patina: Consistent, beautiful weathered look across all exposures.
  • Enhanced Durability: Thermal modification and SiOO:X work together to resist warping, cupping, and decay.
  • Sustainable Choice: FSC®-certified wood and non-toxic treatment for environmentally conscious building projects.
  • Low-Maintenance Exterior: Reduced upkeep for modern residential and commercial facades.
