FAQ
What is charred wood or Yakisugi?
Charred wood, also known as Yakisugi or Shou Sugi Ban, is a traditional Japanese technique where wood is burned on the surface to create a protective carbon layer. It enhances durability and gives the wood a beautiful, textured finish.
Is charred wood suitable for outdoor use?
Yes! The charring process makes the wood highly resistant to moisture, insects, and rot making it perfect for outdoor applications like cladding, decking, and fencing.
What types of wood do you use for charring?
We typically use durable and charring-friendly species such as cedar, pine, and larch, depending on the project needs.
How long does charred wood last?
With proper installation and maintenance, charred wood can last 30–50 years or more, especially in exterior environments.
Can I customize the length and finish?
Absolutely. We offer various lengths and surface finishes. You can choose your preferred size and even request samples before placing a full order.
