Charred Wood Cladding for Modern Facades
Premium Shou Sugi Ban charred wood cladding for exterior facades. We manufacture durable burnt wood boards from spruce, pine and larch, available in multiple colours, profiles and finishes. Suitable for private homes, architectural projects and commercial buildings across Europe.
Charred wood cladding is one of our core products, crafted with precision and long-term exterior use in mind. Each board is burned, brushed and finished according to the selected profile, colour and level of protection.
We produce Shou Sugi Ban facade boards for private homes, architectural projects, commercial buildings and larger developments. Our cladding can be used for modern black facades, natural wood exteriors, accent walls, entrance areas and other exterior design solutions.
Every project is different, so we offer different wood types, board dimensions, profiles and finishes. You can choose from Scandinavian spruce, pine and European larch, as well as a wide range of charred wood colours and natural oil coatings.
Below you can see several examples of charred wood cladding used on different exterior projects. The final appearance depends on the wood type, burning intensity, brushing, colour tone and oil finish.
What Is the Shou Sugi Ban Technique?
Shou Sugi Ban, also known as Yakisugi, is a traditional Japanese wood preservation technique where the surface of the wood is charred, cooled, brushed and finished with oil.
The burning process changes the surface of the board and gives the wood its distinctive texture, colour and character. It also helps protect the wood from weathering, moisture and biological factors when the material is properly processed and maintained.
Today, Shou Sugi Ban is used not only for traditional architecture, but also for modern facades, private houses, commercial buildings and interior design. It is valued for its natural appearance, durability and unique visual depth.
Why Choose Charred Wood for Your Facade?
A facade is one of the most visible parts of a building. It has to protect the structure, handle changing weather conditions and still look good after many years. Charred wood offers a strong balance between durability, natural beauty and architectural expression.
1. Durable exterior surface
The charring process creates a more resistant surface layer. Combined with proper brushing and oil finishing, it helps the boards withstand outdoor conditions and daily exposure.
2. Weather resistance
Charred wood cladding is suitable for exterior facades, including projects exposed to rain, wind, sun and changing temperatures.
3. Low maintenance
Compared with untreated wood, charred wood requires less frequent maintenance. The final maintenance interval depends on the wood type, colour, oil finish and local climate conditions.
4. Natural and eco-conscious material
Shou Sugi Ban is based on a natural wood treatment process. Instead of hiding the material, it brings out the texture and character of the wood.
5. Distinctive design
Every board has its own grain, tone and texture. This makes charred wood facades visually rich and different from standard painted or synthetic cladding materials.
6. Suitable for modern architecture
Charred wood works especially well with glass, concrete, stone, metal and minimalist architectural forms. It can be used for full facades or selected accent areas.
Wood Types for Charred Wood Cladding
We produce charred wood cladding from several wood types, depending on the project requirements, desired appearance and budget.
Scandinavian spruce is a popular choice for facade boards because it is stable, versatile and suitable for a wide range of exterior applications.
Pine is often chosen for projects where a strong texture and expressive grain are preferred. It can create a deep and natural charred wood appearance.
European larch is a denser and more durable wood type, often selected for premium exterior projects where higher natural resistance is required.
If you are not sure which wood type is best for your project, we can help you choose based on the building type, location, facade area and desired final look.
Available Cladding Board Profiles and Dimensions
We offer different charred wood cladding profiles for various facade systems and design requirements. The final choice depends on the architectural concept, installation method, desired shadow line and board direction.
Our facade boards can be produced in different widths, thicknesses and lengths. Custom dimensions may also be available depending on the wood type and order quantity.
Facade Cladding Boards: Half-lap profile
The half-lap profile is a practical and visually clean solution for exterior facades. It allows the boards to overlap and creates a clear, linear appearance with good protection between joints.

Facade Cladding Boards: Rectangular / Rhombus Shape
Rectangular and rhombus profiles are often used when the facade design requires a sharper, more architectural look. These profiles can create stronger shadow lines and a more modern visual effect.

Colours and Finishes for Burnt Wood Facades
Charred wood does not have to be only black. Depending on the burning level, brushing and oil finish, the final colour can range from warm brown tones to deep black, grey, greenish or silver shades.
We currently offer more than 20 different charred wood colours. Each tone reacts slightly differently depending on the wood type and surface structure, so we always recommend checking samples before making the final decision.
The finish can be selected according to the desired appearance, level of protection and maintenance expectations. Natural oils help protect the surface while keeping the authentic texture of the wood visible.
