Burnt Larch: A Durable and Distinctive Wood Finish

Burnt larch is one of the most amazing finishes that are made through the charring of larch wood. Charring larch wood is a traditional technique where the outer surface of the timber changes due to the effect of burning. The result is a dark surface of the timber which may vary from light brown shades up to dark black color.

The main advantages of burnt larch are its naturalness and uniqueness. The structure of the wood becomes visible under the charred surface; this way walls, facades, garden structures and architectural elements get their special look. The texture of burnt larch may be good for modern, rustic, minimalist designs.

In addition to aesthetic functions, the charring of the timber surface provides some protection of timber against moisture. At the same time, the efficiency of a charred timber facade depends on the quality of the material, the method of its charring, the installation and treatment.

Burnt larch may be applied to facades, feature walls, screening and other architectural elements.
