Love Shou Sugi Ban but Not the Price? Try This Affordable Alternative

Check out Linnovate's Flexible Wall Veneer: Shou Sugi Ban, measuring 2850 × 930 mm, it brings the elegance and drama of charred timber straight to your wall without the high cost or constant upkeep of real wood.

🌟 What is Shou Sugi Ban?

Shou Sugi Ban (also called yakisugi) is an 18th-century Japanese technique of charring wood, traditionally cedar, to achieve a striking charcoal finish and inherent durability. This process naturally enhances resistance to weather, pests, mold, and fire, all while producing a rich, textured aesthetic.

💼 Why Choose Our Veneer Over Real Shou Sugi Ban?

• Cost-effective alternative: Real charred timber siding or cladding can be expensive, our veneer delivers the same aesthetic at a fraction of the price.
• Low maintenance: Traditional Shou Sugi Ban typically needs oiling every 3–5 years to maintain color and UV protection . But our veneer requires no ongoing upkeep—no oiling, brushing, or weatherproofing.
• Fire-safe: Traditional Shou Sugi Ban is appreciated for its natural fire-resistant qualities; Linnovate's Shou Sugi Ban Veneer takes safety even further, offering superior protection with a Group 1–S (non-combustible) fire rating.
• Curves welcome: Engineered to flex, this veneer seamlessly wraps around curved walls, columns, and ceilings, much like other premium flexible veneer solutions.

✨ Ideal Use Cases

• Feature walls in living rooms, restaurants, retail outlets.
• Columns, niches, reception desks—anywhere you want that dramatic charred texture.
• Commercial fit-outs: adds warmth, sophistication, and guaranteed robustness without outdoor maintenance.

Our Shou Sugi Ban Flexible Wall Veneer elegantly solves the challenge: want the luxury, look, and durability of charred timber without the cost, fire hazard, and upkeep. Fire-rated, curve-able, and maintenance-free, it's the smart choice for striking interiors with longevity.
