SAMURAI

Thermally modified and charred timber cladding

SAMURAI GETS ITS NAME FROM ITS STRENGTH OF CHAR AND NOBLE PATTERN.

​

We have taken thermally modified timber and shou sugi ban scorched its surface to a charred finish.

 

The end result is a stable and durable substrate, with a black finish weatherboard brandishing a hard full char finish. This is an exciting product development for The Blackwood project that we have been working on for some time. 

 

Not only is this a renewable timber resource, it's chemical free and durable. We have taken a thermally modified timber that is proven in New Zealand, and improved its characteristics by sizzling it at 1060 degrees C for 2 minutes.

The resulting Samurai finish is an unparalleled full char brandishing its beautiful alligator pattern. This pattern is flat and well-defined, and like its namesake is stronger than other full char options. It travels very well and is fine with being handled. 

 

This comes with a full producer statement from the manufacturer as fit for the purpose of timber cladding in New Zealand. A limited but ongoing supply.
