My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Shou Sugi Ban?

4 years ago
Is this true shou sugi ban? If so, what type of wood was used? And were there any sealers used? I'm curious how well this will agree with the harsh climate here.

    Hi Tim,

    Yes, we did use shou sugi ban on this project and the wood used is larch. It's treated with an ebony tinted poly sealer to protect and prolong it's distinctive look. Although the charred layer will change over time with the elements, it's durable, rot-resistant and capable of withstanding some pretty harsh weather.


    It's been about 3-4 years since we installed it and there's been no issues so far. Our supplier for the product was Pioneer Millworks and shou sugi ban siding and shiplap are something they specialize in.


    Let us know if you have any other questions!
