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. Unoiled Gendai is suitable for exterior applications. This is a great option for owners who appreciate the natural beauty of wood and siding with a unique, ever-changing patina. Leaving the charred wood unoiled allows it to naturally weather in response to the local climate. The yakisugi heat treatment process hardens and protects the siding against pests, moisture, and fire. Available burned on both faces (S4S) for fencing or louver applications.

FINISH DETAILS

Unoiled

Yakisugi heat treatment makes a finish coating unnecessary. Unoiled siding can always be oiled in the future to add color or protection. Delivered ready to install.

Patina Scale: 10

Graphic of Patina Scale with a score of 10 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

  • Our most dramatic patina product.
  • Fades and changes color over time.
  • Can be coated with an oil finish at installation or any time in future.
  • Every project will weather differently due to unique microclimates.
  • Soot residue, caking, and blemishing (especially along board edges) are all common with this product.
  • Traditionally used on interior ceilings as an air purifier.

MAINTENANCE

This product can be enjoyed for a lifetime with little-to-no additional maintenance. 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.
