Charred Timber Aluminium Facade Systems

The Charred Timber woodgrain finish on woodgrain aluminium facade systems: deep matte black with charred grain texture - the warmth of timber, none of the upkeep.

Charred Timber is a shou sugi ban inspired look - deep matte black with charred grain texture. On woodgrain aluminium facade systems, that grain is sublimated into a baked architectural powder coat over marine-grade aluminium, so you get the look of Charred Timber timber with none of the oiling, warping, splitting or rot.

As a facade system, this finish becomes a whole-building skin - board cladding, batten blades and soffits coordinated in one grain - so the timber look reads at scale while the non-combustible substrate keeps the external wall on the right side of the NCC.

Inspired by the Japanese shou sugi ban tradition, this charred-black grain gives a striking, textural finish - without burning, sealing or maintaining real timber. As aluminium facade systems, it carries that character while staying non-combustible, UV-stable and dimensionally stable - the practical way to keep a Charred Timber look on a project that has to last.
