Examples

Hiil wood is made by charring the wood surface with real fire and finishing it to suit each use (washing, brushing, oiling and tinting). The result is a naturally protected, non-toxic and installation-ready wood surface that works in many environments and withstands conditions in both northern and southern climates. That is why charred wood is used in exterior cladding, interior cladding, decking and saunas, but equally in interior ceilings, boardwalks, outdoor furniture and other garden structures where both technical performance and a strong, living expression are sought.
