Gendai™ – UNOILED
Exterior
Yakisugi “shou sugi ban” siding. The top layer of delicate soot is lightly brushed off, leaving a smooth, consistent, and dark surface, suitable for exterior applications. Gendai does not need to be finished with an oil for wood longevity since it is heat-treated, but the wood will patina more quickly without an oil prefinish. Available burned both faces (S4S) for fencing or louver applications. Delivered ready to install.
Select Grade (with knots)
Clear Grade (without knots)
FINISH & MAINTENANCE DETAILS
No Prefinish Added
This product is designed to be installed and enjoyed for a lifetime without an oil finish and is delivered ready to install. It can, however, have an oil finish applied any time in the future if desired. Historically, unoiled yakisugi is the most common in vernacular Japanese construction. We include touchup oil to match face color on end cuts, notches, and rips.
