The inner beauty of charred timber cladding
We fell in love with Shou Sugi Ban wood, from first seeing a charred timber board being made in Japan. To see how the ancient Japanese art of charring timber breathes new life into timber cladding, the way charring reveals stunning patterns and textures that mesmerise the senses. That is why we had to create this business, seldom is something both beautiful and long-lasting.
Through our meticulous process of charring and brushing, we unlock the hidden beauty within each timber plank, transforming it into a masterpiece of charred elegance.
As flames caress the surface, the wood fibers char at different rates depending on which season they grew. The fire is enhancing the natural grain and imbuing it with depth and character. Through precise brushing, we gently remove the char, unveiling the intricate patterns and subtle embossed textures left behind—a hallmark of Shou Sugi Ban craftsmanship.
