Burnt Decking: A Striking and Durable Outdoor Solution by Inflamed

When preparing an outdoor area that is visually appealing and highly durable, burnt decking comes as an alternative widely favored by homeowners, architects, and designers. At Inflamed, we offer charred wood with finesse, combining ancient wood-burning charing methods and modern craftsmanship to provide the customer with decking that looks good and functions even better.

A few things about burnt decking, its creation, the unusual benefits it grants, and why Inflamed stands out as a charred timber company are going to be discussed.

What Is Burnt Decking?
Burnt Decking or Charred wood flooring, or Shou-Sugi-Ban decking, is a wood deck board that has been surface-burned to give it more durability and aesthetic appeal. This technique has been in existence for centuries in Japan, where its local terms are Yakisugi or Shou Sugi Ban. The process consists of burning the wood by using open flame on the surface of the wood, followed by cooling of wood, then brushing, and sealing to emphasize the grain or texture of the wood and protect it.

The finish that results is loud and blackened: weather-resistant, pest-proof, and hardly susceptible to rot-all that imparts a sleek contemporary look to the outdoors!

How Is Burnt Decking Made?
At Inflamed, there is a very specific burning operation, which imparts special qualities to each piece because the grain and texture of the wood become emphasized. Here is how we make our burnt decking:

Wood Selection
Premium-grade timber is sourced sustainably, usually cedar, larch, or pine, because they are considered strong and durable.

Charring
Each board is burnt perfectly, using flame torches or controlled ovens, to achieve the desired burn depth and finish. The level of burning is set to be light or heavy, depending on whether a surface is just lightly toasted or deeply crackled.

Brushing and Cleaning
The next step after charring is brushing away the soot and ash to reveal beautiful patterns in the grain along with warm textures. 

Oiling and Sealing
To seal the deck against water ingress and UV attack, natural oils or sealers are applied, making it more durable and giving the client’s preferred lustrous matte or semi-gloss finish.

Benefits of Burnt Decking by Inflamed 
Burnt decking is much more than merely applying continental beauty; it offers a variety of advantages that make it the best option for outdoors.

1. Durability & Weather Resistance 
During charring, the wood surface gets carbonized and is thereby rendered resistant to weather conditions, moisture, and decay. Burnt decking by Inflamed could withstand heavy rains, scorching sun, and even snow, thus remaining intact.

2. Pest Resistance 
Heat treatment naturally tends to keep away insects and pests. So will you have fewer problems with termites or beetles-how ever great it is for outdoor buildings?

3. Fire Resistance. 
Ironically, burnt wood offers better fire resistance. The charred layer acts as a barrier and meaningfully slows down the spread of fire when compared to untreated wood.

4. Maintenance
Burnt decking of Inflamed requires little maintenance compared to conventional lumber which should be put in sealant or stain very often. Oiling and cleaning for a few times is enough to keep it beautiful for many years.

5. Eco-Friendly & Sustainable
Burning wood is an archaic preservation technique that employs no obnoxious treatment chemicals. At Inflamed, however, we only use FSC-certified wood processed from sustainable sources to render our product environmentally responsible.

6. Striking Aesthetic Appeal
From deep black shades with textured grains shining in the sunlight, burnt decking presents a bold, modern style, which can immediately uplift any outdoor place. It pairs spectacularly with both contemporary and rustic designs.
