Beyond its incredible durability, Shou Sugi Ban also offers an environmental advantage: by charring the wood's surface, the process seals the pores, reducing the need for chemical treatments or paint.
This makes the technique not only beautiful and functional but also a sustainable choice for architects and designers.
Another interesting fact is that, besides cedar, other woods like pine and cypress can be used, adding even more aesthetic variations. And the best part? The charred finish creates a natural barrier against mold and mildew, making it ideal for humid climates.
