Charred Kebony Cladding by Shou Sugi Ban completes BoBen Construction ’ s state-of-the-art development
Located in the heart of Warwickshire on the outskirts of historic Rugby , Bilton Fields , one of BoBen Construction ’ s most recent developments , is a shining example of quality , contemporary and sustainable construction . Completed with Charred Kebony timber cladding , the luxury residential development is sustainable in outlook with a unique appearance that retains its rural farmyard essence and the charm of the surrounding area without compromising on modernity .
Built using sustainable building methods , the latest technology and the highest quality products , the development ’ s material palette is simple but effective with zinc roofing , farmhouse brickwork and expansive glazing . Crafted with an inherent appreciation of the natural landscape , Bilton Fields reflects an ongoing commitment from BoBen Construction to meet the ever-growing consumer appetite to create architecturally distinguished homes for the modern lifestyle .
Charred Kebony Cladding by Shou Sugi Ban was selected to provide a long-lasting and attractive timber finish for the homes ’ exterior . Using ancient Japanese methods , Shou Sugi Ban timber is burned to create a long-lasting product with a distressed appearance , resulting in a sleek and fragile aesthetic . Developed in Norway , Kebony ’ s pioneering woodprocessing technique sees sustainably sourced softwoods heated with furfuryl alcohol , an agricultural by-product , modifying it to maintain the same durable properties of industrial hardwood but without the same contribution to the carbon footprint .
