The black mirror house

If you look at this beautiful house in Belgium on a sunny day, you will see that it shines like a mirror. The windows, the water of the swimming pool, the exclusive cars and the golden statue.

What also catches the eye is the silvery sheen of our Marugame cladding. Because of the angle of the sunlight, the shine looks different on every side of this building. This makes you curious to see each corner of the house, with its unique pattern of the exclusive charred wood.

Thorstein

“We recently replaced the potted decked timber on our farmhouse in the Beemster region with Shodoshima semi-gloss from Zwarthout l Shou Sugi Ban. With special planks 25 cm wide, it looks great on a farmhouse. A very beautiful product and great service from Zwarthout l Shou Sugi Ban!”

”We chose Yoroi for several reasons. First of all, we like the Japanese classical technique used for burning the bamboo. Due to the burning technique Shou Sugi Ban, Yoroi has a fire class B and is maintenance-free. Finally, the black charred bamboo is a regrowable material and aesthetically matches our design perfectly.”

We have put together two Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban sample boxes: one for interior design applications and one for façade cladding.

That way, you can experience the attention, care and love we pour into each piece of wood yourself. And, of course, the beauty and exclusive looks the various textures have to offer.
