Description

Charred timber The carbon layer is brittle and deteriorates with age, giving it a fine patina (weathering). After the charring process, the carbon layer comes away; a finishing coat (sealer, stain or oil) ensures that the carbon layer is hardened and therefore no longer comes away. The finishing coat also protects the carbon layer against wind and weather and in places where contact may occur. Sawn solid Cryptomeria shows a decorative flame pattern, which means that the design of the carbon layer differs from one board to the next. Durability Eurosugi (aka European Cryptomeria japonica) is a timber of durability class 3 and is therefore suitable for use as façade cladding. The characteristic of Cryptomeria is its pleasant scent and the possible presence of visible knots in the carbon layer. Applications Cryptomeria is suitable for exterior (wall cladding) and interior applications.
