Thermally Modified Wood for Durable Outdoor Design | Buy Now

The maintenance of types of wood treated with the Shou Sugi Ban method is not particularly complicated. Routine cleaning is essential in the removal of any dirt, debris, as well as all other contaminants. Wiping can be done with a soft-bristle brush or cloth that has gentle bristles. Harsh chemicals alongside abrasive cleaners must not be used because the charred layer will become damaged. Damaged areas should be re-touched including peeling or flaking charred surfaces. Moisture and preservative sealants or oil will need to be applied every couple of years in order to keep the wood protected from UV rays while also keeping the color intact. While using the wood outdoors, it is vital to be on the lookout during extreme weather to make sure no damage occurs. With the right maintenance, the wood’s beauty and durability will remain unchanged for years.
