The Art of Shou Sugi Ban—Where Tradition Meets Modern Craftsmanship
From Flame To Finish - The Shou Sugi Ban Process
01. Charring
The core of the Shou Sugi Ban method, charring involves the precise burning of the wood’s surface to form a protective, weather-resistant layer. This ancient Japanese technique not only increases the wood’s durability but also enhances its natural grain and creates a deep, striking texture.
02. Brushing
Following the charring, the wood undergoes brushing to remove excess soot and refine the surface. This step, rooted in the ancient Japanese wood-burning technique, reveals the intricate grain patterns and prepares the wood for finishing.
03. Wood Oil Coating
The process concludes with a wood oil coating, which seals the wood’s natural beauty and provides additional protection. This finish deepens the colour, enhances the wood’s longevity, and adds a final layer of durability and shine.
Versatile Charred Wood—Elegance and Durability for Every Space
Cladding
Our charred wood cladding is crafted using the traditional Yakisugi technique, an ancient Japanese method that enhances both durability and beauty. This process results in premium timber cladding that not only offers superior protection but also brings timeless aesthetic appeal, ensuring your project stands the test of time.
Interior
Perfect in every way. Charred wood not only looks great, but also comes with the benefits that you usually don't get with regular timber. Since the charring process makes timber surface water resistant, and extremely impervious to decay in high humidity environments. It can be used in any interior space.
Decking
Decking is an extension of your home, a place of tranquillity and refuge. Nothing is more serene than sitting on your deck in a cosy chair on a lovely summer day while having a cup of coffee. High-quality timber decking will allow you to enjoy moments like this for a long long time.
Yakisugi Advantages: Timeless Strength and Natural Beauty
Durability
The charring process in Shou Sugi Ban significantly enhances the wood's resistance to weather, decay, and pests. This ancient technique transforms timber into a highly durable material that can withstand harsh conditions, making it ideal for both exterior and interior applications.
Modern & Unique style
The charred finish creates a unique texture and depth, offering a striking, elegant appearance. Each piece of Shou Sugi Ban wood tells its own story, with natural variations in grain and colour that bring warmth and character to any project.
Easy Maintenance
Shou Sugi Ban wood requires minimal maintenance. The natural resistance to decay, insects, and weathering means fewer treatments over time, making it a practical choice for long-term use.
Sustainability
Shou Sugi Ban is an environmentally friendly technique that uses natural processes to preserve wood, reducing the need for chemical treatments. By extending the lifespan of the wood, it promotes sustainable building practices and minimises the environmental impact.
