To add space to your home, building an extension is a good choice. This could, for example, be a modern extension with a durable façade made of black charred wood. Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban has been making this special cladding since 2012. The wood is burned by the fire masters in the oven, giving each plank a unique char layer, texture and appearance.
Shou Sugi Ban wood offers several advantages. First of all, the black wood’s durable charred layer ensures that the extension is protected against external influences. Think of moisture, rain, wind and hail, as well as pests and fungi. Secondly, the charred wood has a fire-retardant effect, which is an additional advantage in such emergencies.
At Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban, sustainability is paramount. When you choose black charred wood for your house extension, you are making an environmentally conscious choice. All the wood comes from FSC-certified forests. We cooperate with the Dutch Forestry Commission, among others, and plant trees back together with our clients every year. For a healthy planet, now and in the future.
The planks of the black charred wood store CO2. Thus, building an extension house with black wood contributes to the reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere. Moreover, we do not use chemical coatings, but treat your extension with a fixation or oil based on natural resin if required. Your home’s extension is virtually maintenance-free if you choose the charred varieties from Zwarthout l Shou Sugi Ban. With the brushed products, the planks should receive periodic and brief maintenance every three to five years.
You can also choose to let natural weathering take its course. Many people love robust woodwork with slight craquelé (cracks). It emphasises the rural character of the extension and provides the most exclusive look you could wish for. Of course, we will inform you in detail about the possibilities and advise you on maintenance, finishing and Shou Sugi Ban products.
Once you have chosen your favourite Zwarthout| Shou Sugi Ban product, it is time for the realisation. Naturally, we will coordinate this carefully with you and provide advice when making design choices.
