Construction is currently underway for the Governors Drive Project on the Kiawah Islands in South Carolina. The island offers a unique and serene coastal experience with a subtropical climate. This area is known for its pristine beaches and strong commitment to environmental conservation. Residents seek out this area for a peaceful and outdoor-oriented lifestyle. This project features 3,000 sq. ft. of reSAWN TIMBER co.’s NATT FSC®-Certified Kebony® exterior cladding. 

Project Needs: Particular coastal projects require strong materials to hold up to harsh weather conditions. With this in mind, the client also expressed a preference for a resilient, deep black material that would require minimal maintenance. 

Project Solutions: While painted cedar is a common choice on the Kiawah Islands, the clients were drawn to Kebony’s® 50-year warranty and its performance. Our prefinished materials enabled the clients to achieve their desired aesthetic without the need for on-site finishing.

NATT by reSAWN TIMBER co. features Kebony® Shou Sugi Ban wood that’s specifically designed to create a beautifully charred aesthetic. NATT can be used for exterior siding or interior wall cladding. Kebony® is modified wood recommended by leading architects. It is sustainable, durable, and requires no maintenance beyond normal cleaning. Kebony’s performance has been proven in a variety of applications including decking and cladding.
