Shou Sugi Ban Accoya
Shou Sugi Ban Accoya is not just a wood roofing solution. It is a connection between the ancient art of Japan and the modern technology of today. The ancient Yakisugi method was used to produce the burnt wood that is used for this product, which is the most beautiful and durable of all the architectural materials made from Accoya wood.
The main characteristics of the wood are also the main steps of the process: burning, brushing, and sealing. The heating gives a warm, dark and rich surface with a blackened finish formed by the natural grain of the wood being brought up.
Accoya, in contrast to regular woods, is subjected to an acetylation process, which renders it extremely stable, resistant to weather, and less harmful to the environment. The marrying of the Shou Sugi Ban technique with Accoya gives a product that is virtually unmatched when it comes to both durability and aesthetic impact. This combination produces a material that shrinks, is eaten by insects, rots, or distorts—perfect for outdoors or indoors
In a classic yet organic way, Shou Sugi Ban Accoya is a perfect material for building very modern and unique homes. The textured and painted surfaces contrast with one another dramatically. It can be put on façades or pitched walls or be used for custom-made furniture; it always provides a sense of timelessness and creativity.
Marrying the natural beauty of wood with today's performance standards, Shou Sugi Ban Accoya is more than just a line of wood—it is a pledge to the high standards of design and relentless sustainability.
