Charred timber
Cladding (Shou sugi ban)

Shou Sugi Ban is an ancient Japanese wood burning technology that was used to preserve wood by burning surfaces with fire. The process involved burning the wood, cooling it, cleaning the surface and coating the boards with oil. Although fire can be thought to have a negative effect on wood, Shou Sugi Ban actually increases durability and is a natural means of preserving wood without chemicals and other surface treatments.

We have mastered an extraordinary Japanese technology that is used for centuries to make the wood even more unique. With this technology, we extract an amazing design from the Siberian larch and Spruce wood that you can use in the interior and exterior. Our specialists are trained in the unique Shou Sugi Ban technique that lets us provide our customers the best quality and sustainability of our products.

Our charred cladding is made from “A Grade” larch or spruce timber which has been fire treated. We recommend using larch, rather than cedar cladding, for its superior qualities and durability. Spruce charred cladding is a fantastic option is you want to save some money. Same design & quality – lower cost.

• Charring the surface of the wood without reaching complete combustion creates a carbon layer. This surface layer is water resistant which makes the wood beneath more durable.
• The charring process changes the chemical composition of the wood. This means the nutrition sources that fungus and mould spores need are removed.
• In order for the charred cladding to re-ignite, it requires much higher temperatures and longer contact with a flame source.
