Thermo Treated Wood: Durable, Eco - friendly & Versatile Solutions

Shou Sugi Ban, also known as Yakisugi, is a traditional Japanese technique for preserving wood that has gained popularity worldwide for its aesthetic and functional benefits. This method involves charring the surface of the wood with fire, typically using a torch or an open flame. The charring process creates a protective layer on the wood's surface. When the wood is burned, the outer layer carbonizes, which makes it highly resistant to decay, rot, and insect infestation. Unlike thermally modified wood from Fujian Qinchao Wood Technology Co., Ltd., which undergoes a high  temperature treatment in a controlled chamber, Shou Sugi Ban relies on surface charring. After charring, the ash is brushed off, and the wood can be further treated with oil or left as is. The result is a striking, dark  colored wood with a unique texture that adds a rustic and contemporary touch to various applications. While Shou Sugi Ban enhances the durability of the wood, it is a more labor  intensive process compared to industrial thermal modification. Fujian Qinchao's thermally modified wood, on the other hand, offers consistent quality and performance through its standardized treatment process, making it a more efficient option for large scale projects, although Shou Sugi Ban remains a popular choice for those seeking a hand crafted, artisanal look.
