Durable, fire-treated wood cladding for contemporary architecture and natural design

We produce high-quality charred timber cladding using a controlled fire treatment based on Shou Sugi Ban. Charring selected timbers improves durability, weather resistance, and long-term performance without chemical preservatives.

Our cladding suits modern architecture, offering consistent char levels and refined exterior finishes that create a distinctive look while enhancing the wood’s natural properties for low maintenance and long life. We work with architects, designers, and contractors, providing technical information and project-specific guidance for accurate specification and installation.
