Yakisugi refers to the original Japanese technique of charring wood to preserve it. Shou Sugi Ban, its Western interpretation, includes additional steps such as brushing and oiling, creating modern variations of the traditional charred finish.
Yes. The technique avoids chemical treatments and prolongs the wood’s life. We use FSC®-certified timber and eco-conscious processing methods.
No. The raw char finish is deep black, but once brushed or oiled, it reveals natural grain textures and tones—ranging from soft greys to warm browns—depending on the wood and treatment.
No, we do not require a minimum order quantity. Whether you need a few planks for a small feature or a full order for a large project, we're happy to help.
Depending on the wood species and finish, our Shou Sugi Ban products can last over 50 years with minimal maintenance—especially Accoya®, which is dimensionally stable and extremely durable.
Raw char requires almost no upkeep. Brushed and oiled finishes may benefit from re-oiling every 5–10 years, depending on exposure and use.
We recommend using stainless steel screws with fixing points every 500–600 mm. This ensures long-term stability and preserves the clean look of the charred surface.
