Reveal the natural textural beauty of wood with the look of Shou Sugi Ban, an ancient Japanese technique used to produce burnt wood cedar siding.

What is Shou Sugi Ban?

Shou Sugi Ban, also known as Yakisugi, is an ancient Japanese wood preservation technique that dates back to the 18th century. Originally developed to protect exterior wood siding—primarily Japanese cedar from Yakushima Island—the method involves charring the wood’s surface to create a deep, charcoal-black finish.

The blackening of the wood enhances distinct grain patterns within the fibre, revealing the natural textural beauty, while increasing the wood’s durability, making it more resistant to weather, insects, and decay.

The benefits of Fisher’s approach to Shou Sugi Ban in producing burnt wood cedar siding

In working closely with the Architect and Design community on a wide range of aesthetically unique projects over the last several years Fisher has developed a new approach to Shou Sugi Ban to emulate burnt wood cedar siding.

Fisher recognises the beauty in revealing and enhancing existing wood grain patterns. We also understand the additional costs and challenges with creating, installing and protecting charred wood, which prohibits its use on many projects.

Fisher has created an enhanced version of Shou Sugi Ban through our proprietary mechanical and coating application process to create a product that emulates burnt wood cedar siding in an array of modern colours. The result is a beautifully enhanced grain pattern in each board in a wide range of colour combinations to suit virtually any architectural design.

The finished project provides many similar benefits to traditionally produced Shou Sugi Ban without the high cost and challenges in handling and installation.
