Yakisugi or Shou Sugi Ban Technology - Natural Wood Processing

Burnt wood for terraces is processed using the traditional Japanese Yakisugi technique. In this process, the wood is burned in a controlled fire environment, thus creating a unique surface pattern and color. In addition, burning strengthens the wood and makes it more resistant to environmental influences.

Advantages of burnt wood:

Why Choose Burnt Wood for a Terrace?

The installation of a terrace is not only the creation of a functional space but also an opportunity to create a cozy and aesthetically attractive recreation area. When choosing wood for a terrace, special attention should be paid to burnt wood. This unique material is characterized by exceptional durability, beauty, and practicality, making it an increasingly popular choice.

Types of Burnt Wood:

• Burnt Spruce for Terrace: This wood is harder and more durable than pine, so it is more resistant to scratches and dents. Spruce wood has a smoother texture and lighter colors. This wood is slightly softer than pine due to differences in the cell structure, so spruce absorbs less moisture and shrinks compared to pine wood. Spruce wood has more branches, but the branches themselves are smaller than those of pine. Due to its wood structure, it allows the oil to penetrate smoothly, which improves protection from environmental influences.
• Burnt Pine: Softer wood compared to spruce and larch, cheaper and more sensitive to scratches and dents. It is a medium density wood, so it is slightly heavier compared to other conifers. Pine has better mechanical properties than spruce, it is stronger and has a slight tendency to bend, and cracks less. Due to the abundance of heartwood and a higher resin content, it is more resistant to atmospheric changes, but it also produces more resin. Pine has a more open cell structure, which ensures better air and moisture permeability.
• Burnt Larch for Terrace: This wood is extremely strong and resistant to decay, making it ideal for wet areas. Larch wood has a reddish-brown color and a distinct texture. This conifer is denser, harder, and very resinous, so it has natural protective properties. It is also less branched, characterized by durability, and has a unique pattern texture. However, this wood is less stable, tends to move for a long period (expand, contract, crack), and requires more maintenance to maintain its charm. Larch is a more expensive conifer, so not everyone can afford its wood.

Care of a Burnt Wood Terrace:

Although burnt wood is a low-maintenance material, certain procedures will help maintain its beauty and durability:

• Clean Regularly: Use a soft brush and soapy water to remove dirt and dust.
• Use Oil: Once or twice a year, apply natural oil designed for burnt wood to your terrace. This will help protect the surface from environmental influences (moisture, UV rays, and other factors). Before oiling, it is necessary to wash the surface with a special cleaner to remove dirt and residues of the old coating.
• Inspect the Terrace: Regularly inspect the terrace and make sure there are no damaged boards or other defects. If you notice any problems, address them immediately.
