A fence is more than a boundary. It shapes privacy, frames the landscape and becomes part of the architecture surrounding a property.

Inflamed produces charred and brushed timber boards for contemporary fencing and exterior screening. Select the timber species, finish, board profile and installation direction to create a boundary that complements the building and its surroundings.

Deep-char KAEN surfaces provide a pronounced, textured appearance, while brushed KIME finishes reveal more of the timber grain and introduce a broader range of tones.

Charring and appropriate finishing can improve the timber surface’s resistance and weathering performance. Long-term results depend on the timber species, finish, detailing, exposure, installation and maintenance.

Final material suitability, dimensions, substructure, fixing method and maintenance requirements must be confirmed for the individual project and local exposure conditions.

Inflamed supplies finished timber boards for integration into a project-specific fencing structure.

Privacy depends on board width, spacing, angle, viewing distance and whether boards use one or two layers.

  1. Open screening

    Wider gaps retain visual connection. This is not a privacy configuration.

  2. Partial privacy

    Narrow spacing filters views, but sightlines vary with distance and viewing angle.

  3. Full privacy

    A closed or layered arrangement can block direct sightlines when detailed for that purpose; confirm the final design.

Installation principles

Detail for drainage, movement and exposure

Use project-specific posts or another supporting structure designed for the fence height, location and exposure.

Fix boards to rails or a subframe arranged for the selected vertical or horizontal direction.

Confirm board spacing according to the intended openness, timber movement and views from both sides.

Detail the assembly so rain can drain and surfaces can dry after wet weather.

Keep end grain away from standing water and treat exposed cut ends where the selected finish requires it.

Use suitable exterior-grade fixings compatible with the timber and finish.

Allow for natural timber movement in board spacing and fixing details.

Coordinate corners, entrances and gates with the project designer and structural support arrangement.

Protect both visible faces where the design exposes the fence to neighbouring spaces.

Do not derive post spacing, rail spacing, foundations or wind resistance from an appearance preview.

Timber boards should not be installed in direct contact with soil or standing water. Ground clearance and lower-edge detailing must be determined according to the selected timber, fence design, exposure and applicable project requirements.

Final post spacing, rail spacing, foundations, wind resistance and structural design must be determined for the individual location and fence height.

WEATHERING AND CARE

Designed for life outdoors

Sunlight, rain, orientation and surrounding vegetation all influence how exterior timber changes over time. The species and finish selected will determine the appearance, maintenance approach and indicative re-oiling interval.

Explore Maintenance Guidance

Every 5-7 years

Inspect the façade at least once a year for surface damage, splitting, coating deterioration or discolouration beneath the coating, which could indicate moisture penetration.

Indicative re-oiling every 5-7 years, based on exposure and surface condition.

Indicative guidance, not a warranty. Exposure, detailing, orientation, local climate and desired appearance can change the maintenance interval.

Fencing questions

Frequently asked questions

Browse the complete Inflamed FAQ
01What is Shou Sugi Ban fencing?

Shou Sugi Ban fencing uses timber boards whose surface is charred and finished to create a distinctive exterior material for boundaries and screening. Inflamed produces finished boards for integration into a project-specific fencing structure.

02Which timber species are available for fencing?

The currently approved fencing selection includes Spruce, Larch and Accoya®. Availability depends on the selected finish, profile, dimensions, quantity and current production options.

03Which finishes are suitable for exterior fencing?

Approved fencing finishes are shown in the material selector for each timber species. KAEN retains a deeper char surface, while KIME is brushed to reveal more grain. Final suitability depends on exposure and project detailing.

04Can the boards be installed vertically and horizontally?

Yes. PAR boards can be arranged vertically or horizontally when the support structure, drainage, movement allowance and fixing method are designed for that orientation.

05What is the difference between open screening and privacy fencing?

Open screening uses wider gaps and retains visual connection. Privacy fencing uses closer or layered arrangements to reduce direct sightlines. The result depends on board width, spacing, angle, viewing distance and the number of layers.

06Does Inflamed supply complete fence systems or finished timber boards?

Inflamed supplies finished timber boards for integration into a project-specific fencing structure. Posts, rails, foundations, gates, fixings and structural design should not be assumed to be included unless confirmed in the quotation.

07Can charred timber be installed in contact with the ground?

Timber boards should not be installed in direct contact with soil or standing water. Ground clearance and lower-edge detailing must be determined for the timber, design, exposure and applicable project requirements.

08Which fixings should be used?

Use suitable exterior-grade fixings compatible with the selected timber and finish. The fixing type, length, edge distance and support arrangement must be confirmed for the individual project.

09How does charred timber fencing weather?

Sunlight, rain, orientation, vegetation and exposure on each face influence weathering. Colour, texture and surface appearance can change naturally over time and may differ between the two sides.

10Does the fence require re-oiling?

Maintenance depends on species, finish, exposure, detailing and the desired appearance. Published intervals are indicative guidance, not warranties, and the surface should be inspected regularly.

11Can both sides of the boards be finished?

A fence may be visible from both neighbouring spaces. Tell Inflamed which faces and edges will remain visible so the appropriate project-specific finishing scope can be confirmed.

12Can I order timber samples?

Yes. Request genuine fencing samples to compare grain, char depth and colour outdoors beside paving, masonry, planting and the building exterior.

13What information is required for a fence quotation?

Share the project location, approximate linear metres, fence height, preferred orientation, privacy requirement, species, finish, profile, visible sides and approximate project date. Drawings, site photographs and reference images are helpful; unknown details can be marked for advice.

14Does Inflamed ship fencing internationally?

Inflamed produces charred timber in Kaunas and supplies projects across Europe and around the world. Delivery scope, packaging and transport are confirmed for each destination and order.
