What is Suyaki Shou Sugi Ban?

Charred Sugi – Japanese Cypress

Suyaki is the most traditional and dramatic of our yakisugi “shou sugi ban” surfaces.  Exterior and interior Suyaki products look similar but have very different tactile characteristics. Suyaki is a vernacular material and the fine patina epitomizes the traditional wabi-sabi aesthetic. Due to the thick, hydrophobic, UV-inhibiting soot layer, exterior Suyaki has fantastic color and wood longevity. Unoiled Suyaki has an E84 class A fire resistance.

Suyaki is an extremely delicate soot surface that easily blemishes. Bundles and planks must be handled and installed with extreme care. Please make sure that the installers have reviewed samples and are aware of the need for special handling before the lumber arrives at site.
