Shou Sugi Ban Decking
Your home is your temple. Yakisugi wood charring technique has been widely used in ancient Japanese temple building, and now it is perfectly adaptable for building your home decking. Yakisugi technique connects three elements – earth (wood), fire and water and allows you to feel the energising natural wood texture with your barefoot feet.
Even though this wood working solution is very long lasting (it can last up to 100 years), it is essential to take care of the decking in order to preserve its natural beauty for as long as possible. Simply treat your terrace with natural oil once in a while.
Dark Decking
A dark deck can be beautiful and suit many houses. It also has the advantage that stains from resin or stains resulting from use are not as easily visible as when light wood is used. Dark decking can be created from almost any type of wood, by painting it or treating it in some other way so that it gets the desired dark shade. An alternative that is not so common in our area is to let the wood darken through charring – an alternative that offers additional benefits. With burnt wood that has a charred surface, you get protection against moisture, mold and pests, and it is also harder for fire to take hold in wood that has already been burnt, so it becomes a built-in fire protection.
