Shou Sugi Ban, the ancient Japanese wood-burning technique, is renowned for enhancing wood’s durability, aesthetics, and resistance to the elements. When combined with Accoya, a high-performance modified timber, it creates an exceptional wood product that blends tradition with modern innovation.
Accoya undergoes an acetylation process that enhances its stability and resistance to moisture, rot, and insects. When treated with the Shou Sugi Ban technique, the wood's surface is charred, creating a striking blackened appearance while further improving its durability. This combination makes Shou Sugi Ban Accoya ideal for exterior cladding, decking, and interior applications, offering both beauty and long-term performance.
Unlike traditional woods, Accoya’s modified structure allows it to retain the benefits of Shou Sugi Ban without warping or splitting over time. The result is a low-maintenance, sustainable wood choice that not only withstands harsh weather conditions but also brings a unique, textured aesthetic to architectural designs.
Additionally, Accoya is sourced from responsibly managed forests, making it an environmentally friendly option. Whether used for modern facades, rustic accents, or contemporary interiors, Shou Sugi Ban Accoya offers a striking, long-lasting wood solution that combines Japanese craftsmanship with cutting-edge wood technology.
