Detailed Information
Our Shou Sugi Ban® cladding is crafted through a controlled application of the volatile process of Yakisugi – a traditional Japanese timber charring technique.
This process alters the cell structure of the timber, naturally preserving and protecting it. It also minimises the need for maintenance, increasing the timber’s durability against fire, weathering, and pests.
The result is a beautiful and tactful finish that adds uniqueness to builds both historic and contemporary, for interior and exterior use.
Shou Sugi Ban® is an art, with finishes and textures that align it to any façade. It can range from traditional, burnt, and delicate-looking – to sleek, smooth, and modern. Styles include intense, cracked, black finishes; soft or heavy brushing to create a subtle or exaggerated grain; and smoother contemporary options.
Create a bespoke, original look for your façade with sustainably sourced, hand-crafted, charred timber cladding products.
