Technical Statement
Product Description
Abodo Tundra Cladding is produced from New Zealand plantation Douglas Fir
heartwood, sourced from forests in New Zealand’s central North Island. The
harsh winters of the central plateau yield a dense, stable timber, with rustic
features and defects.
Vertical Shiplap weatherboards have become synonymous with modern New
Zealand architecture. Tundra Cladding is available in a standard AW51 vertical
shiplap profile that offers uniform shadow lines.

Product Criteria
Design requirements
The Abodo
Codemark Weatherboard system has a range of profiles, exterior mouldings and
accessories. Abodo has it’s tested Protector Waterborne stain colour range, along
with 2 reactive coatings and can offer factory coated solutions.
It is
designed for use as a cladding for residential and small commercial buildings.
It is suitable for buildings within the scope
of E2/AS1 and with a 'Risk Score' of 20 or below per the Weather Tightness Risk
Matrix outlined in E2/AS1.
It is suitable for buildings
in wind zones up to and including Extra High as defined in NZS 3604. Buildings
in wind zones Extra High and above require a rigid underlay, longer fixings and
larger flashings.
Abodo Cladding- Tundra Vertical
is to be installed on either a 20mm cavity batten or 45mm structurally fixed cavity
batten. Weatherboards are fixed at max 480mm centres.
High quality stainless steel fixings should be used in all
cases. Stainless steel 316 (A4) fixings should be used in areas near the sea.
Pre-drill fixings using a drill bit 1/3rd smaller than the fixing. Note:
Silicone bronze fixings can be subject to oxidation during weathering,
resulting in discolouration and weeping around fixing head.
Use flat, rose or pentagon head ring shank nails (hand
driven) to achieve minimum 30mm penetration into stud. Or use a stainless steel
self countersinking self drilling screw with minimum 30mm penetration into stud
(or stud and batten combined if using a structural cavity batten).
Installation requirements
Abodo Cladding - Tundra Vertical Shiplap is to be installed in accordance with the Abodo Codemark Weatherboard Cladding Manual and details drawings. Please refer to Abodo website for all installation instructions and detail drawings.
Maintenance requirements
Maintenance is to be in accordance with the maintenance guidelines available on Abodo's website. Wash down every 12 months with gentle detergent, warm water and soft brush. Make a maintenance check every 2 summers. Check all weatherboards, junctions, flashings,
mouldings and replace or remediate as required to maintain weather tightness of the cladding
system. Re-coat every 2-3 years or as required to maintain colour and integrity of coating.
Re-coat period may be longer or shorter depending on climatic conditions and/or positioning
of cladding to the sun. For heavily soiled or mouldy areas use Rejuvenator or similar
oxygenating cleaner, active mouldicide and recoat with
penetrating oil. Some board movement and surface checking should be
expected on highly exposed faces. Resin bleed may occur as part of the natural weathering process.
