Wooden Decking

Abodo Vulcan Decking is designed to perform exceptionally well in India’s diverse climate, from the hot and humid regions to cooler, drier areas. The Vulcan decking boards undergo a modification process and are treated with OPX treatment, making it highly resistant to moisture, decay, and termites. This ensures your decking remains stable and beautiful, even under harsh weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for luxury homes across India. In case you are looking for a lighter color tone, we can recommend Abodo’s Sand + decking. While it is not as stable as Vulcan in fully exposed applications, with its narrower boards, it provides a sleeker and more modern appeal. In shaded outdoor areas, it performs nicely.

Please note that Vulcan and Sand decking being real wood, the coating will fade out as it gets exposed to sun and rain. It can be re oiled to get the original color back though. If the decking is under shade, the color stays much longer. Periodic washing with a mild detergent and water would help in keeping it clean.

Abodo wooden decking by Span Floors requires a straightforward maintenance routine to keep it looking its best. First is periodic cleaning using a mild household detergent and water. Second is to oil it again as and when needed. Depending on how exposed your decking it to the weather, it will fade to a light gray tone over a period of time. When that happens, it is time to recoat it. Refer to the exact maintenance guidelines as provided by our team.

Abodo wood decks offer a warmth and natural beauty that WPC (wood-plastic composite) decking cannot match. People go for synthetic alternatives as they presume them to be low maintenance. This is not true in all cases. For example, once your WPC decks start to fade over the years you would not be able to revive it back. Similarly, the WPC planks may start to turn brittle and crack (depending on the quality) and require replacement. 

Abodo’s Vulcan decking can be installed uncoated or oiled, depending on your choice. Unoiled, it would weather to a nice light gray over a period of time and becomes maintenance free practically in terms of re oiling. The added advantage is that in case you change your mind and want to give it color, being real wood, you always have the possibility of sanding the surface and oil it using Abodo’s Protector oil and coloring it to your desired tone. This is not possible with WPC decking.

In addition, being resistant to termites, you have a similar characteristic to WPC. In terms of sustainability – its impact on the environment, Abodo decking boards are a superior option as they have an overall low carbon footprint. They come from FSC certified forests and use much less energy during production and disposal at the end of life.

Due to its proprietary treatments, it is more stable than Ipe that is generally available in India. This means that your decking planks look more beautiful in the long run. The planks remain much more straight and flat. The longer lengths provide much lesser joints resulting in a premium, luxury look. The reeded surface also makes it more slip resistant during the times when your deck is wet. Compared to thermo ash and pine, the resistance to termites is a huge advantage. Abodo decking comes with an unmatched warranty against termites which is a necessity in the Indian climatic conditions.
