For those aiming to establish a dramatic outdoor setting of pure aesthetics and good enough durability with the environment in mind, burnt decking certainly goes anywhere in architects,' designers,' and homeowners' books. Inflamed specializes in Timber products of the highest-performing grade, treated with the ancient Japanese method of charring, making for special decking solutions that pair in stage presence with long-lasting fortitude.
What Is Burnt Decking?
Burnt decking refers to a heat-treated timber achieved with a controlled charring process-the most renowned being the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban. The essence of the treatment is in burning the wood's surface layer, which becomes hardened and carbonized to resist weather, insect, rot, and decay to a much higher degree.
Unlike chemical treatment, the burning process is wonderful in its all-natural, environmentally friendly characteristics. This surface treatment stands to mask glories on grain patterns, deepen tones, and offer rich textures that conventional decking materials can hardly compete with.
Why Burnt Decking?
At Inflamed, we see burnt cedar decking as an investment: from an aesthetic perspective, its dark tones are simply gorgeous. It is made for owners who demand the performance of high-grade woodworking with the advantage of low maintenance.
Why is burnt decking so special?
Durability: During the charring process, the timber gains strength against varying punishments of outdoor elements.
Low Maintenance: With charring, the timber is made less prone to warping, cracking, and insect attack, so it requires minimum upkeep.
Sustainability: This wood is responsibly sourced. The charring process uses no chemicals or synthetic finishes.
Aesthetic Diversity: Deep and rich finish of charred wood suits almost any style, from modern-minimalist decks to rustic outdoor lounges.
Fire Resistance: It seems ironic, but charring actually makes wood more fire-resistant as a consequence of the carbon layer on its surface formed in the burning process.
Best Woods for Burnt Decking
At Inflamed, we curate only a select few woods that really sear well. Common choices include:
Cedar: Naturally resistant to decay and the type of wood that wishes to receive a deep and bold finish.
Accoya: A very stable modified wood that goes very well with charring techniques.
Larch: Durable and inexpensive, with a peculiar texture after charring.
Each wood type brings its own character to the table, leaving you to select an appropriate finish to fit well with your vision and environment.
