Shou Sugi Ban is a Japanese wood burning technique that provides uniquely dark paneling without the need for dark stains or paint. If you want a dramatic, dark accent wall, or an elegant expanse of natural siding, Shou Sugi Ban paneling is the perfect way to accomplish your design with a rich and resilient material. After the reclaimed wood is charred, we brush the ash away, then clean and seal the wood, creating planks that are not only stunning to look at, but are resistant to fire, insects, rot, and decay. This versatile style can utilize varying degrees of burning, from fully charred black to lightly scorched to highlight the beautiful grain patterns in the wood.
