Charred Timber Cladding

TIMBER OPTIONS

At ECO TIMBER GROUP we have tested many types of timber in our never ending pursuit of the perfect charred timber product. We have concluded that the below timber is what should be your first and final point of call;

• CLASS 1 IRONBARK
• CLASS 1 QLD SPOTTED GUM

SCRATCH RESISTANCE

Scratches or bangs during installation of cladding is almost unavoidable and we know all too well that charred timber especially can be difficult to erect without some sort of damage to the outer carbon crust. This is why our director personally saw to formulating a process of charring that see’s up to 3mm of penetration into the surface of the timber. Meaning our Shou-Sugi-Ban charred timber maintains a black charred finish even if scratched.

FIRE RESISTANCE AND DURABILITY

ECO TIMBER GROUP charred timber cladding is less susceptible to weathering, fading and insect attack than other traditional finishes. All Eco Timber Bal 29 Class 1 timber is fire resistant meaning that it is suitable for almost every type of construction.

WILL IT MAKE A MESS?

Once the charred cladding is installed it will take around 3 months to settle onto the wall. After this time all the micro dust will have dissipated and you will be able to rub your hand on the wall without it leaving any black marks. If you are installing the charred cladding inside opt for our internally sealed polyurethane coating, which locks in the charred dust so from install it leaves no marks (not suitable for external application).

Our products have been featured across the Australian states in noteable community projects, high end Architectural projects and Designer residential homes (including coastal developments). Charred timber is such a versatile product and can be used both internally or externally. We have seen;

• Charred cladding both shiplap and in 3D profiles
• Charred posts and beams
• Charred battens
• Charred decking
• Charred benchtops and countertops
• Charred internal wall and roof lining

DEEP CHARRED VS STANDARD CHARRED

At ECO TIMBER GROUP we have two types of charred timber finishes that we specialise in. Each holds its own unique place in your build. Not only in appearance but also in tradition.

STANDARD CHARRED TIMBER

One is our standard charred timber which is a very consistent smooth finish with very minimal crackle. This finish is not a traditional Yakisugi Japanese Cladding look but rather an Australian adoption which we think makes the appearance cleaner and more uniform.

DEEP CHARRED TIMBER

The next is a more traditional Yakisugi Cladding finish. This type of charred timber has a deep crackle and looks a little like the skin of a saltwater crocodile. It creates a more popped looked to the timber and of course a more textured appearance. Please note because timber is a natural product the crackle may be heavier on some boards than others, this is due to varying density of individual boards.

ECO TIMBER GROUP manufactures all Shou Sugi Ban Charred timber products in house using only Australian sourced timbers. At Eco we support local mills to help keep our local industry alive. Choosing our products also sees less of a carbon footprint than imported thermally modified softwoods or other imported timber (think carbon and fumigation emissions on importation and carbon costs to thermally modify the timber).

We established the very first commercialized charring line introduced to the Architectural market, setting the standard for charred timber cladding suppliers and the charred timber market for over the last 10+ years.
