Durable Australian Hardwoods and BAL-29 Australian Hardwoods are also available to select.

Hurford’s Shou Sugi Ban Refined Architectural Cladding is a complete solution for any wall, offering not just a precision milled piece of charred timber cladding but also the detailed trims to ensure a streamline finish and watertight result.

Profile Design Coulee

Collective features include:

Relief grooves which are designed to take the stress out of the cladding, reducing the effect of warping and cupping

Screw location line indicates exactly where to fix the cladding board, allowing the next row to slide over the existing board and create a secret fix finish

Allowances have been made for expansion gaps, but must be implemented using a 6mm spacer to achieve a uniformed shadow line.

Trim designs external corner, internal corner, end stop

Hurford’s Shou Sugi Ban trims provide a streamline finish and play an integral part in ensuring a water tight finish. All aluminium trims are factory fitted with waterproof gaskets* designed to decrease the on-site sealing process, and reduced the delivery of loose materials.

Features end matched & moisture barrier system.

End Matching

Utilising a specially developed end match system for external use, Hurford’s Shou Sugi Ban endmatch profile has a micro bevel edge designed to encourage water to drain away from the join. Applying a bead of sealant to the join at installation stage eliminates moisture transfer and ensures a watertight connection.

End matching the product means the boards can be fixed mid stud/cavity batten, eliminating the need to dock and create volumes of waste, saving up to 10% of the product that previously would have been thrown away. Not only does this save costs, it’s a better for our environment with less resource being used.

Moisture Barrier System

All trims in the Hurford’s Shou Sugi Ban Cladding range feature a factory fitted seal, the foam gaskets compress and expand with timber movement, an extra safeguard against the Australian storm season. Factory fitted gaskets eliminate the on-site sealing process, reducing labour costs. The Moisture Barrier System does not eliminate the need for good building practice and meeting the Building Code of Australia.

Maintenance

It is well known that any timber left uncoated and exposed to direct or indirect sunlight will inevitably weather and grey off. Hurford’s Shou Sugi Ban Refined Architectural Cladding is no exception.

Shou Sugi Ban is supplied pre-oiled with Feast Watson Timber and Deck Stain, Black Japan to assist in the protection from aging and colour change. During installation it is required you coat any sawn cut exposed ends with Feast Watson Timber and Deck Stain, Black Japan or Intergrain Industrial Solid Timber Stain Charred Black. Once Shou Sugi Ban Refined Architectural Cladding is installed, you will need to apply a second coat of Feast Watson Timber and Deck Stain, Black Japan or Intergrain Industrial Solid Timber Stain Charred Black.

Periodic maintenance, including reapplying a fresh coat of Feast Watson Timber and Deck Stain, Black Japan or Intergrain Industrial Solid Timber Stain Charred Black is required to maintain the dark burnt texture of the product. Leaving the product unmaintained or uncoated will lead to the dark Shou Sugi Ban to naturally patina and age, changing its appearance. This change in appearance will not affect the performance of the product.
