Making it a good solution for many projects. It is also readily available in Europe, and affordable. Its colours range from a light yellow to cream white, and reddish-brown. The charred wood process allows us to enhance the colours of the wood or adapt it to different shades to make an impact.
Like Pine, Spruce can be used outdoors and indoors for siding, fencing, cladding, interiors, and paneling. As it is a softwood to ensure that it remains intact over the decades, it will need to be treated with a protective oil and maintained.

Siberian larch
Siberian larches are hardy trees that grow in extreme environments and stand up to the elements. Their forests extend from Siberia to Finland. It is one of the hardest softwoods on Earth.
The larch colours can range from a creamy yellow to light brown, which weathers to a beautiful silvery-grey if left untreated. With a charred wood application, you can further enhance the natural beauty of this knotty wood and choose from a range of beautiful finishes.
Larch is a robust wood, naturally resistant to severe weather which makes it a durable option for outside cladding, siding, fencing, and decking. This durability is increased by the charred wood process that makes larch fire, rot, insect, and mold resistant.

Thermo Pine
A versatile variety of wood and a popular choice, Pine is a great material for everything from Shou Sugi Ban Pine cladding and fencing through to outdoor furniture.
