Direct from the manufacturer
Made in our own timber-charring facility
Inflamed burns, brushes and finishes timber at its facility in Kaunas, Lithuania. Working directly with the manufacturer gives project teams a clear route from finish selection and sampling to quotation, production and delivery.
Every project begins with practical information: application, timber species, finish, profile, dimensions, quantity and destination. This allows our team to assess the enquiry and prepare a relevant quotation rather than offering a generic online price.
