Shou sugi ban is wood cladding that has been heat-treated with an open flame. This process dramatically enhances the wood’s longevity by increasing its resistance to fire, fungi, moisture, and insects. 

Finish Options: 

Toasted - light burn that still allows some of the natural wood color to show 

Carbon - full burn that creates a solid black color with a smooth texture 

Deep Char - deep burn that leaves a cracked texture finish
