Degmeda "Deep Char" Larch
Powerful and resilient, Degmeda “Deep Char” Larch reveals the dramatic beauty of traditional Shou Sugi Ban with its intense, cracked “alligator skin” carbon surface. This heavy charring enhances the natural durability of larch, resulting in an exceptionally long-lasting board with bold visual depth.
For projects requiring advanced fire safety, this product is available with an optional B-s1, d0 fire resistance rating through additional treatment (Deep Char Larch FR) – ensuring minimal smoke and no flaming droplets. This makes it suitable for public, commercial, and high-performance residential applications where safety standards must be met without compromising design.
Designed specifically for cladding and siding, this deeply charred finish is not suitable for decking or walking surfaces. The deep black color remains stable even under direct sunlight. Offered in PAR and UYS profiles for vertical and horizontal installation, “Deep Char” Larch delivers a perfect balance of fire protection, visual depth, and architectural durability.
