The ehouse Experiment - Part 3
While the builders are on site busily erecting the sub-floor structure. The exterior rain screen is being pre-finished.
The rain screen is Larch and is finished using a technique called Shou Sugi Ban, an ancient Japanese technique of charring the wood.
The benefits of this type of finish are that there is no maintenance. Insects, moss and mould don't like it. You get a beautiful sheen to the wood as opposed to the flat dull finish off using a wood stain.
Black Clad offers three different variations of this technique, The Kiss, The Scrub and The Dragon's Skin. If you are interested in more information please visit our website - http://blackclad.co.nz/
