Due to Accoya’s outstanding stability, the Japanese burnt wood process, shou sugi ban, works well. Charred timber cladding boards don’t twist, distort or warp when subjected to charring, making it ideal for ease of installation on a building site.

Durability is not only enhanced when using Accoya but the charring prolongs any finish making it long lasting even with the additional stability of Accoya once in situ.

An additional feature of Accoya, a solid wood, is that the grain is emphasised much more than any other timber due to how well the process chars Accoya. The process makes it an attractive timber for exterior cladding and even internal feature walls.
