Modern Shou Sugi Ban Siding

As craftspeople and artisans, our most sacred tenet is that of tradition. Tried and true skills honed over hundreds– sometimes thousands– of years are what empower and grant us the ability to build the rich world that surrounds us today. The Yakisugi (焼杉) or Shou Sugi Ban (焼杉板) method of charring wood to utilize the naturally preservative properties of carbon embodies that artisan spirit. Based in Maine, Cinder is dedicated to process, time, beauty, and fire.

Cinder Wood Products introduces a modern approach in applying unique burnt wood finishes in order to offer our clients the best quality Shou Sugi Ban siding. Contact us and let us help to answer any questions you may have, as well as to consult on the specifics of the project you are working on.
