Suyaki – Unoiled
Exterior/Interior
DESCRIPTION
The yakisugi “shou sugi ban” heat treatment process leaves the wood naturally resistant to pests, moisture, and fire. The basis of design for yakisugi “shou sugi ban” is that the heat treatment makes a coating unnecessary. Leaving the charred wood unoiled allows it to weather naturally, according to the local climate. This is a great option for owners who appreciate the organic, natural beauty of wood and want to savor it as a living, changing finish.
CONSIDERATIONS

- Blemishes and soot erosion will develop over time and are the nature of this very traditional material

- Traditionally used on interior ceilings as an air purifier

MAINTENANCE
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 to add color or consistency. Historically, unoiled yakisugi is the most common in vernacular Japanese construction. 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, dust, etc. Exterior siding should be hosed down regularly to keep it clean and appearance fresh. For more detailed installation and maintenance guidance, see our Installation Guidelines.
