Founded in New Zealand, Abodo® was built around a strong conviction: it is possible to offer a credible alternative to tropical woods, by valuing species from renewable forests and enhanced by thermal modification. Recognized for the rigor of its selection and the mastery of its processes, Abodo rigorously meets the expectations of contemporary architecture and sustainable construction.
Abodo exclusively selects wood from sustainably managed New Zealand forests, with full traceability of the resource.
A pioneer in thermal modification and wood preservation processes, Abodo develops innovative treatments to sustainably improve the performance of local species.
Abodo collaborates with numerous international architectural firms and supports benchmark projects thanks to its expertise in high-end wood.
At Grad®, we distribute the Imbue™ range, a thermomodified solution distinguished by its deep hue, elegant grain, and remarkable stability in outdoor conditions. Decks, facades, outdoor landscaping: Imbue™ is aimed at projects where the character of the material is as important as its performance.
The dimensional stability of the Imbue™ range ensures optimal compatibility with our invisible fastening systems, guaranteeing long-term installation hold and the precision of each assembly. This partnership embodies the Grad® approach in its most essential aspect: combining technical performance and environmental commitment, without ever sacrificing architectural quality.
The Imbue™ finish reveals the natural grain of the wood while providing a deep and homogeneous hue particularly appreciated in contemporary architecture.
Thanks to thermal modification, the wood exhibits excellent stability and limits shrinkage and swelling phenomena.
Made from New Zealand plantation wood, Imbue™ offers a sustainable and responsible solution for projects seeking the aesthetic of noble woods without resorting to tropical species.
