KAZURA By Zwarthout

Abodo is now on fire! Kazura by Zwarthout

Glenalmond Timber have partnered with timber specialist Zwarthout in the Netherlands to bring their unique brand of Japanese charred timber to the UK and Ireland. The Zwarthout team headed up by architect Pieter Weijnen have created two new products called Kazura and Nakatado utilising our Durability class 1 Abodo TMT as the substrate. The results have been outstanding, delivering incredible aesthetics with as close to near zero maintenance you can get. We have been working with Zwarthout for some time now and are astonished of their application of science and art to produce spectacular results. With a proven track record of high quality innovative products and a vast back catalogue of reference projects throughout the globe, Zwarthout are pioneers in charred timber in Europe and are acknowledged experts in this field.
Zwarthout changed our perception of charred timbers. Let us help to change yours!
