Yakisugi “shou sugi ban” siding and paneling. The top layer of delicate soot has been gently brushed off, leaving a smooth, consistent and dark surface. Two coats of a plant-derived architectural grade alkyd oil prefinish is applied prior to shipment. Suitable for exterior and interior applications. Available burned both faces (S4S) for fencing or louver applications. Delivered ready to install.
Finish Details: Alkyd Brown
The semi-solid alkyd oil stain is a permeable yet protective coating, with good texture and color. It is a very durable water-based stain, resistant to moisture and UV radiation. The alkyd oil stain is a great option for those who are looking for color consistency over natural patina.
Gendai® is our most commonly specified yakisugi “shou sugi ban” surface for exterior applications. A light single brushing process knocks down the heavy soot layer and leaves a smooth, silky appearance with subtle burnt fiber crevasse shadows.
Gendai can either be installed with or without an oil prefinish.
Traditional yakisugi siding is made by charring the surface of Japanese cedar to enhance its durability and aesthetic beauty. Originally used to protect homes from fire, decay, and insects, it’s now a defining material in modern architecture.
