DESCRIPTION

Our Gendai® yakisugi “shou sugi ban” products receive a single brushing to remove some of the delicate soot layer–leaving a smooth, consistent, and dark surface. We then apply a natural linseed oil prefinish prior to shipment. This combination is only suitable for exterior installations. Available burned on both faces (S4S) for fencing or louver applications.

FINISH DETAILS

Linseed Oil Light Gray

Our semi-transparent linseed oil stains are designed to balance raw, natural beauty with color longevity. These finishes absorb into the wood, to condition and enhance the grain. Linseed oil coatings are an excellent choice for owners who want to enjoy the inherent beauty of wood as it weathers. Organic fading and patina develop over time. The siding can either be left to weather, or it can be recoated with oil to freshen up the color, as desired. Delivered ready to install.

Patina Scale: 5

Graphic of Patina Scale with 5 score indicating level of colorfast

Our Patina Scale approximates how each specific product will weather in color. Choose a more colorfast finish if you want best color longevity, or a more patina option for an organic, living finish.

Disclaimer: The Patina Scale is general guidance and every project weathers at a different rate according to local conditions. Nakamoto Forestry therefore makes no guarantees or warranties, expressly or implied, of siding appearance after installation.

CONSIDERATIONS

  • Light gray conceals fading better than other color options.
  • Soot residue, caking, and blemishing (especially along board edges) are all common with this product.

MAINTENANCE

This is a maintenance-optional siding product. We include touchup oil to match face color on end cuts, notches, and rips. Yakisugi should never be scraped, sanded, or pressure washed. A very weak TSP or soap solution, neutral pH cleaner, or simply clean water can be applied with a cloth or soft brush to wash off pollen, dirt, and dust. Exterior siding should be hosed down regularly to keep the appearance fresh and clean. For more detailed installation and maintenance guidance, see our Installation Guidelines.
