Shou Sugi Ban is, in the traditional sense, a Japanese wood treatment method that involves charring on the surface of the wood to make it appear more durable, pest-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing. Its ancient origin remains prehistoric, but the practice has been trending in the modern world because of its unique ability to blend timeless elegance with contemporary architecture.

One of the greatest strengths of Shou Sugi Ban is that it's pretty strong. The charring process puts a carbon layer on the surface of the wood, leaving natural substances within the water, rot, and insects from penetrating inside. Thus, it is an excellent material to use for exterior cladding, especially in colder climates where the wood comes under heavy attacks from the weather.

At Inflamed, the specialty of this company consists of the premium Shou Sugi Ban product lines: cladding and fencing solutions. Our charred timber is precision-crafted so each piece, aside from great looks, will provide long-lasting performance. We only use quality wood - that is Accoya and larch wood - which perfectly fits in with the charred process of the materials.

Shou Sugi Ban cladding from Inflamed will pair perfectly with projects combining stunning, modern exterior styles with natural and rustic charm. This deep black finish of the charred wood provides a kind of dramatic visual element for any project, with the natural grain of the wood staying easily visible to add texture and depth.

Whether you are renovating your home or building a new one, Inflamed can help to give you that good old Shou Sugi Ban product that will top your design by fitting tradition and contemporary style into one.
