About this project

Not every facade wants the standard board. This project runs narrow-width yakisugi battens vertically: the same charred sugi as the standard boards, milled to a narrower section. It shows how differently the material reads when the section changes.

Talk to us about custom widths and thicknesses for project quantities. Specifications for the standard profiles are on the shou sugi ban cladding page, and the technical documents live in the resources library.

Send through your drawings and we will tell you what is achievable for your quantity.
