Where it works best
This finish is especially well suited to dramatic feature walls and modern facades. Because it is available across our cladding, battens, screens and linings, you can carry the Charred Timber look right through a project for a unified result.
The aluminium advantage
Unlike the timber it imitates, the Charred Timber finish is sublimated into a baked powder coat on marine-grade aluminium. It holds its colour under the Australian sun, will not warp, rot or split, and is non-combustible - the look of Charred Timber timber with none of the upkeep.
