The timber species selected to manufacture Hurford’s Shou Sugi Ban is ethically sourced and processed by Hurford’s locally owned and operated facility in Queensland, Australia. Favourably sort after for its natural qualities and unique appearance, Cyress, Callitris glaucophylla is highly durable and a naturally termite resistant species. Applying the fire treatment forces an additional barrier of protection against insect attack and decay, furthermore increasing the species overall durability. Durable Australian Hardwoods and BAL-29 Australian Hardwoods are also available to select.

SHOU SUGI BAN A brief history.
Shou Sugi Ban, also known as Yakisugi, derives from an ancient Japanese exterior cladding treatment used to preserve wood by charring it with fire. The treatment was introduced after Japan fell into short supply of driftwood which was collected from the coastlines for its prized appearance and durability after enduring a natural treatment process of saltwater, surf and sun.
Traditionally the timber used for charring was ‘Sugi’ wood, Cryptomeria, commonly known as Japanese Cedar which was used for residential exterior cladding, fencing and decking applications.
The term Shou Sugi Ban 焼杉板 simply translates to ‘burnt cedar board’.
