Shou Sugi Ban cladding is thing that never gets old in architecture and not only it is carved using the ancient technique but also has a modern look. Shou Sugi Ban or Yakisugi, are two names for the same process which includes the charring of the wood to make it more durable and prevent the weather from destroying it, and giving it depth of tone. The outcome is a wood cladding, either for the exterior or the interior, that is physically and visually beautiful as well as being functional.
Every board, at Inflamed, is treated with expertise to get the surface rich in texture with black shades or borderline char differences that, at the same time, showcase the wood’s natural grain. The controlled burning not only gives the wood a carbon layer that protects it from being damaged by water, insects, decay, or fire, thus making usage of the wood possible for a much longer time, but also adds up to the wood's longevity. So while the cladding made of wood treated with chemicals might not be the best choice environmentally, Shou Sugi Bancladding is- for it does not only score on eco-friendliness but also on the natural aspect of boosting performance.
