A complete cladding system
Hurford’s Shou Sugi Ban Refined Architectural Cladding combines the ancient Japanese craft of fire treatment with a precision milled, architechtural cladding profile. It is a complete solution for any exterior wall, offering not just the cladding but a selection of customised trims to ensure a streamline execution and watertight result.
Hurford’s uses a modernised Shou Sugi Ban technique (also known as Yakisugi), the process evenly chars the face of the board before it is cooled and finished to Hurford’s ‘Straight Charred’ effect. All Shou Sugi Ban Refined Architectural Cladding is pre-oiled Intergrain's Charred Black industrial solid timber stain.
The term Shou Sugi Ban 焼杉板 simply translates to ‘burnt cedar board’.
Sourced from Hurford's Queensland Australia facility, one of the timber species selected for this process, White Cypress, is highly durable and a naturally termite resistant species. The fire treatment provides an additional barrier of protection against insect attack and decay, further increasing the durability. This Durable Australian Hardwoods is suitable for BAL-29 along with some others available from our friends at Hurfords.
Coulee Profile Design
Features include:
- Relief grooves which are designed to take the stress out of the cladding, reducing the effect of warping and cupping.
- A 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.
- A 6mm spacer is used to provide expansion allowance and the shadow line.
- *View the installation guide for more details.
End Matching System
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.
End matching the product means the boards can be fixed off stud, reducing waste by up to 10% of the product that previously would have been thrown away. Not only does this save costs, it is also 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 National Construction Code.
