Finish Detail - 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.
Our Pika-Pika® yakisugi “shou sugi ban” products are first burned deeply black. Two rounds of wire brushing remove all loose earlywood soot from the softer spring growth rings, leaving the late wood as contrasting burnt ridges. It is a topographic, textured surface that follows the wood grain. We then hand-grade Pika-Pika products after surfacing to achieve a consistent blend of heartwood and sapwood. Pika-Pika 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.
