Accoya cladding Shou Sugi Ban
Are you an architect, contractor or private individual looking to realise a black burnt Accoya cladding? If so, we can offer you Accoya charred wood. Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban has brought the beauty of burnt wood to Europe. To do this, we combine the traditional Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique with modern technology. Normally Accoya is light in colour, but our black burned wood called ”Marugame” has an authentic look with a hard charred layer and equally divided pattern.

Our burned wood has several advantages. Besides having an authentic look, the material is very sustainable. This is because the wood is more resistant to moisture and insects.

About our production process
To create your Shou Sugi Ban Accoya cladding, we choose wood from sustainably managed forests. A new tree is planted for every tree felled. Accoya grows relatively quickly and is therefore a sustainable choice. The wood is burnt piece by piece by our fire masters. This is done in an oven we have developed ourselves.

The “Paradox.” Burning wood to protect it.
It sounds contradictory — but it’s brilliant.
At ORGA, we’re big fans of biobased materials that truly prove their worth. Take our collaboration with Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban, for example. By charring wood using the centuries-old Shou Sugi Ban technique, a natural protective layer is created — without the need for paint or chemicals.
The result is a façade with character, built to last for generations. In the three recent projects, we’ve seen how it creates a robust, timeless appearance, while simultaneously contributing to refined, high-quality architecture.
Less maintenance, and a building that only becomes more beautiful with age.
That, to us, is what truly future-proof design looks like.
“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.”
”As a gardener, it is an honour to work with such beautiful traditional products.
The delivery times are also great and you get friendly service.”
