Beyond Dawlish

Charred wood, also known as shou sugi ban, is a centuries-old Japanese technique of preserving wood through controlled charring. This process creates a stunning, textured surface with a deep black finish while enhancing the wood’s durability and resistance to the elements. The natural beauty of charred wood lies in its unique aesthetic—each plank showcases intricate patterns, subtle cracks, and a rich, organic texture that adds sophistication to any space.

Highly versatile, charred wood is used for both interior and exterior applications, including cladding, furniture, and decorative features. Its fire-resistant properties, insect deterrence, and low maintenance make it an eco-friendly and practical choice.

Whether you prefer a bold, modern look or a rustic, timeless design, charred wood offers an extraordinary blend of beauty, functionality, and sustainability. It’s the perfect material for creating spaces that stand out while withstanding the test of time.
