Premium Shou Sugi Ban Charred Wood Cladding for Any Climate
Charred wood facade boards are one of our core specializations, crafted with dedication and precision. Our craftsmen follow the traditional Japanese Shou Sugi Ban (also known as Yakisugi) wood-burning technique, which has been used for centuries to enhance the durability and resilience of wood.
Today, this technique is experiencing a true renaissance — charred wood facades have become not only a striking architectural feature but also a highly functional choice for those seeking sustainability, longevity, and minimal maintenance.
What Is the “Shou Sugi Ban” Technique?
Shou Sugi Ban is an ancient Japanese method in which the surface of the wood is charred with an open flame, then cooled, brushed to remove the carbonized layer, and finished with natural oil. This process not only highlights the wood’s unique grain but also significantly increases its resistance to environmental factors such as moisture, UV rays, pests, and fire.

Why Choose Charred Wood for Your Facade?
A facade is the first thing visitors or passersby notice, so it’s natural that high standards are required — both aesthetically and technically. Charred wood meets all modern construction criteria:
1. Durability
The charring process seals the wood’s pores and forms a protective layer that can last up to 80 years when maintenance guidelines are followed.
2. Weather resistance
Charred wood withstands intense sun, rain, snow, and wind. It is naturally protected against UV radiation, meaning it does not fade or lose its color.
3. Low maintenance
Unlike painted or lacquered wood, charred boards do not require yearly upkeep.
East/south-facing sides: oiling recommended every 5–8 years
West/north-facing sides: every 10 years
4. Protection against pests and rot
The charring process eliminates spores, mold, fungi, and insect larvae found in the wood — providing natural protection without chemicals.
5. Distinctive design
Each board has a unique grain pattern, and a wide range of tones — from natural wood to deep black — allows you to match any architectural style.

Our Process for Crafting Shou Sugi Ban Facade Boards
Each stage of the process is carried out with precision and expertise:
- Wood selection: We use only premium-quality, fully dried Scandinavian wood — spruce, pine, or larch.
- Charring: The boards are heated at high temperatures to highlight the natural texture and create a protective surface layer.
- Cleaning: Once cooled, the boards are brushed to remove excess carbon, resulting in a clean and expressive appearance.
- Oiling: The final step is applying natural oils, with the shade tailored to your chosen finish.
