At Carpentier, you'll find black timber cladding tailored to your project. In our own workshop, we use the Shou Sugi Ban technique to create the desired look that gives your façade a unique character. What's more, our black charred timber cladding combines perfectly with the invisible Grad® mounting system, ensuring easy installation and a seamless finish.
Using the Shou Sugi Ban technique, we create a black charred layer in our own workshop that gives every project a unique, weathered appearance.
Charred wood combines a unique aesthetic appearance with enhanced technical properties. The Shou Sugi Ban technique gives the wood more depth, character and durability.
The charred top layer created by the Shou Sugi Ban technique is not a surface treatment — it is the result of a controlled charring process that strengthens the wood from within. This charred layer gives the wood greater resistance to UV radiation, fungi and insects, while also creating the unique deep-black appearance.
Each board reacts slightly differently to the flame, so the texture and intensity can vary slightly from piece to piece. This makes every charred wood façade project unique — a finish that only gains more character over time.
No two charred wood boards are identical. Each wood variety reacts differently to the fire and reveals its own structure. That makes every project unique.
Charred wood cladding proves its worth in projects where appearance and character take centre stage. Be inspired by projects in which black charred ash or Accoya defines the façade.
Our Ignite tongue-and-groove board in thermo pine perfectly mimics the characteristic pattern of charred wood. The key difference is that Ignite does not have the black charred layer that wood acquires after the Shou Sugi Ban technique. To achieve the texture of charred wood, the thermally modified softwood is coloured black, brushed and given a relief finish.
This profile is an attractively priced alternative to charred wood, with all the sustainable properties of thermo pine. Ignite is also very low-maintenance: after 5 to 7 years, a coat of black water-based paint is all that's needed. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
Want to work quickly, neatly and efficiently? Then the smart Grad® system offers great added value when installing timber cladding. This concealed fixing system is perfectly matched to our QuickClip® profiles and makes installation considerably easier.
The clips are positioned in advance at the correct spacing on the aluminium joists. You then simply click the timber boards into place. This way you save time on site, work with great precision and also cut installation costs.
QuickClip® also makes the cladding removable. Using dismantling keys, you simply unclip the timber battens without damaging the profile. So you opt for a solution that combines ease of use, a neat finish and circularity.
Want to get to work quickly and efficiently? Then it makes sense to order all the right accessories for your timber cladding at the same time. At Carpentier, we keep everything in stock to ensure your installation runs smoothly and correctly.
Think of waterproof membranes, battens, additional aluminium substructures for the edge finish around windows and doors, clip grips and other indispensable accessories.
Unsure about the right profile, the best finish or the appropriate accessories for your project? Our timber specialists are happy to share their expertise and help you choose the right solution.
