Yakisugi is a traditional, very old Japanese method of wood preservation. It is referred to in the West as burnt timber cladding and has gained huge popularity in recent years.

Yakisugi is a traditional Japanese method to preserve wood and has been used for hundreds of years in Japan. Inspired by these age-old Japanese traditions we char every board in our own oven. It requires a high degree of craftsmanship for this delicate process and needs considerable experience to master. We manufacture our burnt timber cladding in house where we can control the depth and consistency of charring, brushing and sealing to create many styles and colours of our Yakisugi. We manufacture Yakisugi from Abodo wood, Douglas Fir and Kuusi.
