What exactly is
Planet Expo Charred Wood?
Planet Expo's Charred Wood undergoes a charring process, also referred to as Shou Sugi Ban or Yakisugi, presenting a modern approach to durable structural wood solutions for wall cladding, flooring, decking, interior panels, and designer furniture. This innovative technique has garnered attention from renowned architects worldwide. Our sustainable charred timber solutions, initially introduced in India, blend ancient methods with contemporary architectural demands, employing state-of-the-art technology for low-maintenance outcomes.
By subjecting the wood to modern charring, carbohydrates are reduced, lignin proportions are heightened, resins are burnt off, resulting in a wood product significantly more resistant to moisture, fire, rot, and termites compared to untreated wood.
