DESCRIPTION

Our Sugi siding and paneling is sawn from straight, high-grade Japanese logs that are graded for color and grain. Substitute on projects where North American cedar or cypress are specified. Suitable for exterior and interior applications, with or without a coating.

FINISH DETAILS

Unoiled

Unoiled Sugi cladding can be installed in clean interior applications or in exterior applications where a patina is desired–allowing it to weather naturally, in response to the local climate. This is a great natural wood option for owners who appreciate siding with a unique, ever-changing patina. Delivered ready to install.

Patina Scale: 10

The Patina Scale has been developed by Nakamoto Forestry to approximate how its products will weather over time—from 0 (“less patina/more color longevity”) to 10 (“less color longevity/more patina”). However, every product weathers at a different rate due to local conditions, and the Patina Scale is intended as general guidance only, and is solely for informational purposes. Nakamoto Forestry makes no guarantees, representations, or warranties, express or implied, regarding the appearance or color longevity of its products after installation.

CONSIDERATIONS

  • Rich, clean, and beautiful material, with great color range.
  • Alternate for many cedar or cypress specifications.
  • Raw sugi has a distinctive, pleasing cedar aroma.
  • Oil stain application and maintenance will dramatically increase siding longevity. Back brush surfaces for an even finish.
