Charred wood for your project
About us
We are experts in the preparation of burnt wood, with many years of successful experience in preparing wood for facades, terraces, fences and interiors, and we guarantee a high quality and long-lasting result.
We produce wood prepared according to the unique, time-tested Japanese wood-burning technology "Yakisugi" (or "Shou Sugi Ban"). This is the most natural way of preparing wood, giving it both a protective and aesthetic function. The traditional Japanese woodworking technology, which has been around for centuries, was introduced to protect wood from the effects of the environment. Burning shrinks the pores in the surface of the wood, making it stronger and more resistant. At the same time, it retains its properties, naturalness, pattern and colour.
Our foundations
Guided by tradition, driven by purpose
Our mission
Our goal is to help you create a cosy and sustainable environment by using Yakisugi (Shou Sugi Ban)-a traditional Japanese wood-burning technique that enhances both the protection and aesthetics of wood.
Our Vision
To become the leading provider of sustainable burnt wood solutions in Lithuania and beyond, inspiring people to embrace natural, durable, and eco-friendly materials in architecture and interior design. We strive to preserve tradition while innovating for a greener future.
We produce burnt wood products using the centuries-old Japanese method that naturally strengthens and preserves wood by shrinking its pores. This process enhances durability while maintaining the wood's natural texture, pattern, and color.
Our skilled craftsmen are meticulous in their work, ensuring every detail meets the highest quality standards. We use the most durable woods-spruce and larch-treated with natural oils to achieve exceptional colours and protection.

The art of burnt wood: our process
Burnt wood is produced by burning wood at high temperatures in a special kiln, creating a natural and picturesque wood surface. This process gives the wood unique textures and colors, increases its resistance to moisture and fire
So, if you want to give your home or business premises a special and eco-friendly finish, it is worth taking a look at burnt wood. It will give the interior a unique and stylish look, while at the same time helping to contribute to environmental protection.

Wood preparation
First, the boards are prepared, dust and dirt are removed.
Burning and combing
The wood is heated to very high temperatures, which gives the board unique textures and colors.
Oil coating
When the board is completely cooled, it is processed and coated with a protective layer.

What our clients say
Shou Sugi Ban is an ancient Japanese technique that involves charring wood to protect and enhance its natural beauty. This traditional method originated as a way to make wood more resistant to the elements, including insects, fire, and weathering. The process creates a striking aesthetic with deep tones, unique textures, and an elegant, rustic look.
Shou Sugi Ban surfaces are typically low-maintenance. There’s no need for daily cleaning-an occasional gentle rinse to remove dust and dirt (as needed or seasonally) is usually enough. Avoid high-pressure washing and abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the surface texture. If the surface is oiled, refreshing the oil every ~2-5 years is typically sufficient (depending on sun exposure, rain, and facade orientation).
Charred wood (yakisugi) is well-suited for ventilated facades, wall and ceiling cladding, decorative partitions, fences, gates, and exterior accents. Indoors it’s often used for feature walls and furniture details-choose an appropriate finish (e.g., oil or lacquer) to reduce rub-off and make cleaning easier. For outdoor use, longevity depends heavily on correct detailing: ventilation, proper fasteners, and avoiding areas where water can sit on the surface.
Shou Sugi Ban boards are most commonly installed as ventilated facade cladding on battens/framing, leaving an air gap to help moisture evaporate. Use stainless steel fasteners, follow the recommended expansion gaps, and install with correct water run-off detailing. It’s also a good idea to protect end-grain and cut edges (e.g., with oil/sealer, depending on the system). Before installation, store boards in a dry, ventilated area and pre-drill fastener points when needed to reduce the risk of splitting.
Yes-Shou Sugi Ban works well indoors for feature walls, ceilings, niches, and furniture details. For interior applications we recommend an oiled finish: when properly processed and oiled, the surface does not rub off and does not shed, and it’s easy to maintain.
Yakisugi performs well across many climates, but longevity depends on the wood species, charring/brushing intensity, chosen finish, and construction detailing. In humid/coastal conditions and on south-facing elevations (high UV exposure), finishes may need to be refreshed more often. The key is ventilated installation, good drainage/run-off detailing, and avoiding situations where water remains on the surface.
Typical facade board widths are 95-145 mm, with common lengths of 3-6 m (depending on the selected profile and wood species). Exact dimensions depend on your profile choice and project requirements-custom options are also possible.
