A charred timber exterior cladding is a traditional technique originating in Japan. It is one where the surface of the wood is charred to increase durability, weather resistance, and aesthetic qualities. The resulting textured surface is darkened to a stunning black, as only the thin outermost layer of wood undergoes such char layer-carbonization. Being naturally resistant to rot, insect, and UV damage, charred timber cladding requires less upkeep. In architecture, Charred Timber Cladding exterior cladding delivers an intense, modern statement juxtaposed with soft natural warmth. It can be used on the exterior or interior surfaces, providing a sustainable yet low-maintenance finishing with character and performance that lasts.
