Description:
The term alligator char refers to the cracked, scale-like surface associated with certain deeply charred wood finishes.
It differs visually from wire-brushed Yakisugi, where brushing exposes more of the underlying timber grain and generally produces elongated lines.
Deep-char finishes place greater emphasis on the carbonized surface itself. The resulting appearance can range from tightly fragmented black patterns to larger, more pronounced crackle formations, depending on the wood and production process.
For architectural buyers, selecting between brushed and alligator-textured charred wood is primarily a question of the desired surface appearance, alongside the performance requirements of the final product.
The degree of charring, surface stability, finishing system, and handling characteristics should be reviewed through approved samples before specifying the material.


Architectural Applications:
Garden boundary walls: Dark timber infill or decorative boarding can define landscaped areas while maintaining a consistent material appearance.
Entrance screens: Vertical charred boards can provide a textured background for carefully designed entry features.
Contemporary exterior facades: Deep-char timber can be considered for selected wall sections where strong material texture is a design priority.
FAQ:
Q1: What is an alligator char finish on Shou Sugi Ban?
A1: An alligator char finish is characterized by irregular, connected cracks across the carbonized timber surface. The pattern resembles scales rather than the straight grain lines of brushed wood.
Q2: Is deep-char cladding different from brushed Shou Sugi Ban?
A2: Yes. The main distinction is the finished surface. Deep-char products emphasize a cracked carbon layer, while brushed finishes reveal more of the timber grain. Their maintenance and handling requirements can also differ.
Q3: Can alligator char timber be used for vertical exterior cladding?
A3: It can be considered for vertical cladding when the timber, finish, profile, and installation assembly are suitable. Fixing methods, ventilation, drainage, and applicable building regulations should be reviewed.
Q4: Does the black carbon layer rub off when touched?
A4: Loose carbon and surface transfer depend on the depth of charring, cleaning, brushing, and finishing treatment. Buyers should request handling samples and confirm whether the selected finish is suitable for frequently touched surfaces.
Q5: Does deep charring make timber fireproof?
A5: No. A charred appearance does not establish a fire classification. Where fire performance is regulated, request test evidence relevant to the exact product and installation assembly.
