Hurford’s Shou Sugi Ban Refined Architectural Cladding combines the ancient Japanese craft of fire treatment with a precision milled, architectonic cladding profile. It is a complete solution for any exterior wall, offering not just the cladding but also custom trims to ensure a streamline execution and watertight result.
Durable Australian Hardwoods are available as species selected to manufacture Hurford’s Shou Sugi Ban which is ethically sourced and processed by Hurford’s locally owned and operated facility in Queensland, Australia. Applying the fire treatment forces an additional barrier of protection against insect attack and decay, furthermore increasing the species overall durability.

Timber will only perform within the limits of its natural properties, when specifying, it’s critical that the characteristics and properties of the timber are considered and determine how they will respond to the environment they are placed in.
