Are you a contractor or architect working on a timber house? Or do you want to clad your home as a private individual? Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban realises unique wooden cladding specially customised to your needs. We create wood using the Shou Sugi Ban technique. The wood is burned by our expert fire masters, giving the wood an authentic and authentic black look.
The Shou Sugi Ban technique has been around for centuries. Inspired by this Japanese technique, we burn high-quality wood in our workshop in Leersum. By using black charred wood, you give the building or home a timeless, warm and unique look. Each type of burnt wood has its own look: sleek, robust or, on the contrary, very lively. What suits your design best? We will be happy to advise you.
At Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban, we value sustainability. It is our mission to make the world a more beautiful and sustainable place. That is why we work exclusively with wood species from sustainably managed forests. For every tree used, a new tree is planted. Do you also value the sustainability of your timber-frame house? Then we are your ideal partner.
At Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban, we combine the traditional Shou Sugi Ban technique with modern techniques. Our fire masters char the wood in our self-developed oven. Each type of wood is burnt at a different temperature and speed. Within our collection, we have charred and brushed wood.
The brushed varieties are brushed after firing in the oven and treated with a water-based stain or oil. This creates unique wooden planks, each one created with an eye for detail. Our specialists are also happy to assemble the wood for you. Invisibly and precisely.
At Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban, we can char various types of wood for your timber house. We always do this with great passion and attention to detail. By using different types of wood, we can offer you an impressive collection of blackwood. Are you curious about the possibilities? Then you can order a sample box from us to compare the different types of wood.
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.
