True Yakisugi can only be made with sugi timber (Japanese Cedar) due to having the ideal qualities required for the charring process. No other timber compares for durability, strength or appearance.

Our Yakisugi cladding and weatherboard system is made from imported sustainably forested Japanese cedar and nothing else. It’s all natural with no chemically treated timber, toxic glue or laminates required.

Amazingly durable and traditionally maintenance optional, our Yakisugi comes in 3 finishes and is available in modern vertical or horizontal shiplap for interior or exterior use.

Our premium exterior cladding and weatherboard system made from imported sustainable Japanese cedar is the perfect alternative to Western Red Cedar.

Grown in the cold climate and fertile soils of Japan, our Japanese cedar is a world class, sustainably harvested and highly durable timber ideal for withstanding the extremes of the New Zealand climate.

Kiyama Cladding is a completely natural product with no toxic glue or lamination required. Used for centuries in Japanese architecture – its a proven, sustainable alternative to inorganic, carbon-intensive engineered products.
