Charred Timber Cladding
Accoya Charred Cladding
Enhanced grain burnt to perfectionDue to Accoya’s outstanding stability, the Japanese burnt wood process works well. Charred timber cladding boards don’t twist, distort or warp when subjected to charring, making it ideal for ease of installation on a building site.
Durability is not only enhanced when using Accoya but the charring prolongs any finish making it long lasting even with the additional stability of Accoya once in situ.
An additional feature of Accoya, a solid wood, is that the grain is emphasised much more than any other timber due to how well the process chars Accoya. The process makes it an attractive timber for exterior cladding and even internal feature walls.

What is Shou Sugi Ban?
In recent years an ancient Japanese burnt wood technique, Shou Sugi Ban, has been rediscovered and is now often referred to as charred wood.
Shou Sugi Ban is the traditional art of charring cedar, originally a way of preserving the wood, essentially making it more durable. Typically used for cladding, architects and designers across the world are specifying charred timber and are no longer restricted to species. Accoya is ideal for charring.

Case Study
Accoya Charred Cladding for New Build Home
This residential home was build using a large mixture of concrete, glass, and an entire façade of Accoya wood cladding, including across the roof. The Accoya boards have been manufactured into cladding and carbonized using the traditional Japanese “Shou Sugi Ban” technique.


Case Study
Charred Accoya Cladding Clubhouse
The transformation of Arc Polo Farm in Surrey blends rural heritage with contemporary design, focusing on upgraded stables and a new clubhouse clad in charred Accoya timber. Inspired by the Japanese concept of shakkei, the project celebrates its natural surroundings through a curving architectural route that connects the estate’s key elements.


UK Tried and tested
Over the past two decades, Accoya wood has been tested extensively by 3rd parties. Their reports showcase the excellent performance and outstanding benefits of Accoya wood, and, in particular, Accoya cladding.
