Meticulous Profile Machining at Our Somerset Mill
To achieve an absolutely flawless finished product, our master machinists meticulously mill the raw premium Larch into perfectly crisp contemporary profiles entirely prior to the charring process. Our highly controlled heavy duty heat application then completely ensures a totally consistent, deeply penetrating char across the entire board. This strict in house manufacturing process actively guarantees that highly complex interlocking shadow gap and shiplap designs seamlessly fit together during luxury commercial site assembly.
The Architectural Advantage of Shou Sugi Ban
Specifying authentic Charred Larch provides absolutely massive commercial advantages for highly contemporary architectural projects demanding a completely unique luxury aesthetic. Because the intense charring process physically carbonizes the external cellular structure, it completely seals the timber. This actively prevents extreme moisture ingress and utterly eliminates fungal decay entirely without the need for highly toxic external chemical treatments.
Crucially, it provides a highly dramatic matte black finish that simply cannot be accurately replicated by commercial exterior paints or stains. It actively ensures that luxury coastal homes and high end commercial elevations remain incredibly striking and virtually maintenance free for many decades.

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Advice
What is Charred Larch cladding?
It is highly premium timber that has been carefully subjected to the traditional Japanese Shou Sugi Ban charring technique. This actively creates a deeply blackened, highly durable architectural surface completely unique to each board.
Does Charred Larch rub off easily?
While the heavily charred surface is naturally heavily carbonized, we meticulously seal our premium architectural boards to entirely prevent messy soot residue during your commercial site installation.
Does this cladding require chemical treatments?
No. The incredibly intense charring process physically alters the external cellular structure, actively providing immense natural resistance to severe rot and aggressive insect attack entirely without highly toxic chemicals.
Is Charred Larch suitable for coastal environments?
Absolutely. The heavily carbonized exterior surface actively acts as a phenomenal natural barrier against extreme marine moisture, severe external weathering, and highly aggressive coastal salt spray.
What bespoke profiles can you supply?
We strictly machine our premium timber into highly crisp contemporary shadow gap and highly durable traditional interlocking shiplap profiles entirely prior to commencing the bespoke charring process.
Expert Tip: When installing blackened timber externally, exclusively utilise blackened stainless steel fixings to completely maintain the highly dramatic contemporary aesthetic across the entire elevation.
Does the blackened colour fade?
Over many years of intense exterior weathering, the deep matte black will very gradually develop a highly prestigious, highly sought after natural architectural patina completely unique to your property.
How long will Charred Larch last?
When correctly installed externally using premium fixings, the highly authentic Shou Sugi Ban technique actively guarantees incredibly reliable structural performance and fantastic longevity for many decades.
Does the charring process weaken the timber?
No, we strictly utilise highly dense Larch heartwood. The heavily controlled surface charring completely protects the incredibly tough structural core underneath without compromising structural integrity whatsoever.
Can you fulfill massive luxury architectural tenders?
Yes, our advanced Somerset manufacturing facility easily processes huge commercial orders of completely bespoke charred cladding directly from our extensive premium yard stock.
Is your raw timber sustainably sourced?
Absolutely, we exclusively utilise raw premium materials strictly harvested from highly regulated, entirely sustainable European forestry programs before applying our bespoke manufacturing processes.
