Why Charred Timber Cladding is Perfect for the Australian Climate
Charred timber cladding is one of the most durable cladding options available in the Australian market. In the charring process, the top layer of each timber board is burned, which carbonizes the timber. This thin layer of carbon enhances the durability and lifespan of the boards, making them more resistant to moisture, pests, bushfires, and weather damage.
When installed above ground as cladding, our charred timber products boast a top-tier Durability Class 1 rating, ensuring a lifespan of over 40 years with proper maintenance.
Modinex has simplified the maintenance process for your charred timber cladding. We provide our cladding, paneling, and screening products pre-finished with a superior protective coating that surpasses penetrating oils, significantly enhancing the long-term durability of our charred timber claddings.
The History of Charred Timber Cladding and Shou Sugi Ban
Modinex produces charred timber cladding using Shou Sugi Ban, an ancient Japanese technique. Originating in 18th century Japan, Shou Sugi Ban was developed to safeguard timbers used for cladding and roofing, offering unparalleled protection against Japan’s extreme weather conditions – scorching summers, violent typhoons, and heavy snowfall. This technique preserves the timber and reinforces its resistance to harsh environmental elements, resulting in a vastly prolonged lifespan.
We draw inspiration from Japan’s traditional craftsmen but add a modern twist to the process. By utilizing industrial machinery, we are able to create an even layer of charred material without combusting the timber, leading to a superior product in both appearance and performance.
