Charred Wood Process
La carbonización mediante el método tradicional Yakisugi es un proceso ancestral que transforma la madera en un material notablemente más resistente, duradero y estéticamente único. A través del fuego, realzamos sus propiedades naturales, elevando su resistencia frente a los elementos, y convirtiéndola en una opción arquitectónica de alta gama con carácter propio.
Here are the key steps in this process:
Selection
We carefully choose the most suitable woods for carbonization, ensuring they are straight, crack-free, and have a limited number and size of knots, according to strict technical criteria. This rigorous selection guarantees strength, durability, and natural beauty, ensuring the best results after treatment.
Carbonization
We burn the wood following the Yakisugi method, reaching temperatures of up to 1100 °C. This process forms a carbon-rich outer layer and an underlying layer of pyrolysis, providing exceptional protection. The carbonization is controlled and tailored to each piece of wood to ensure a uniform result.
Brushing
Using specialized brushes, we carefully remove the surface ash layer. This reveals the wood’s natural texture and highlights its original beauty, without compromising the protection achieved through carbonization.
Sealing with Oil
We apply a special blend of eco-friendly, water-based oil that bonds and seals the carbon surface, preventing dusting and staining. This treatment also enhances and preserves the deep color of the finish, maintaining its rich, vibrant appearance over time.
Quality Control
Cada pieza de madera Shou Sugi Ban pasa por un exigente proceso de control en cuatro etapas, garantizando máxima durabilidad y artesanía. Solo la madera perfecta y cuidadosamente trabajada llega hasta ti.
