Product Description
The black siding and paneling commonly seen on modern projects in North America and Europe is inspired by traditional Japanese heat-treated wood siding called yakisugi. In the West the vernacular is “shou-sugi-ban”, but this is a mis-reading of the word 焼杉板, correctly read as “yakisugi-ita”. Yakisugi is not originally an expensive, high-design product as it has been marketed in the West—it is a standard building material used in Japan for centuries.
“I love how textural this product is. It looks like crocodile and I am here for it. I also love that it is a traditional method of treating wood that we are learning is not only beautiful but also super durable when treated properly. ”
