Shou Sugi Ban Accoya is the outcome of the ancient Japanese skill and the modern environment-friendly technology coalescing into an eye-catching, strong, and eco-friendly wood finish. The traditional Japanese technique of Yakisugi — which means charring wood to save and protect it — was the main source of inspiration for Shou Sugi Ban which boosts the attractiveness and life-cycle of Accoya wood, a premium modified timber with superb stability and decay resistance.
The treatment starts with the burning of wood, that enhances the look of the wood and also gives the wood a longer life. In the beginning, the entire part of the wood is going to be consecrated which is the charring of timber to be used in the making of the furnace. The fire will give rich, textured finishes that will go deep into the colors of black, incense, and metallic silver. The two-toned appearance will not only open up the natural grain of the wood but also give the wood increased strength and make the wood easier to take care of than ever. An outdoor application is clearly the first choice of Shou Sugi Ban Accoya, as it has the best weather resistance of any wood, including untreated woods.
The patented process of Accoya’s wood acetylation gives the wood the following properties: the wood is environmentally friendly, sustainable certified, and dimensionally stable. Moreover, the wood is available in various sizes and is wood-free. The Shou Sugi Banning process has also a long history in Japan, and it is the perfect choice for designers, architects, and even homeowners that dream of "lasting" elegance.
Shou Sugi Ban Accoya looks stunning in a contemporary facade, an interior wall, or an artistic installation. Its uniqueness is expressed in the combination of striking appearance, natural beauty, and excellent performance, thus changing the perception of wood as sustainable luxury.
