GW x Abodo
Vaaro® Fire is an ultra-durable, fire compliant* timber available as a complete coated, tested product range.
Performance, developed for demanding applications
Vaaro combines the natural beauty of timber from gold standard forestry sources with enhanced durability and proven fire compliance*. The result is a high-performance timber solution for projects where material performance and fire compliance are paramount. Sourced from rapidly renewable, New Zealand Radiata plantations, Vaaro is crafted for extreme conditions and provides an alternative to third-party treatments and old growth timbers traditionally used in high fire risk applications.
Tested for performance
Vaaro has been tested extensively around the world to major fire compliance standards*, both before and after weathering, in uncoated and coated form. The accelerated weathering procedures used emulate long-term exterior exposure, demonstrating world-leading fire performance and excellent leach resistance properties.
