Office Feature Wall | Burnt Charcoal Plank Printed Steel

The Project
A nearly 30-ft. tall feature wall constructed in the lobby of the Tru-Steel HD® design center in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

The Print
Burnt Charcoal Plank perfectly mimics the elegance of Shou Sugi Ban Japanese burnt wood, minus the smoke and splinters.

The Panel
8″ wide flush-wall planks produced by North Star Metals.
Interior Elegance
The Tru-Steel HD® Design Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana, doesn’t just host the team that develops every image we print; it also serves as a showroom for the product itself. This nearly 30 ft. tall feature wall dominates the entryway of the Design Center… you can’t miss it.
What many visitors do miss is that it’s entirely made from Tru-Steel HD® using the Burnt Charcoal Plank image, not real wood. This wall’s hyper-realistic look comes from a combination of Tru-Steel HD®’s 32-foot repeat length, its broad spectrum of colors, and the 8″ wide by 13’ long flush-wall plank panels.
While Tru-Steel HD® looks fantastic in any steel panel profile, we’ve found that the most realistic-looking are those that mimic real wood planks, such as shiplap, dutchlap, and these flush-wall planks
Prismatic Colors
Our perception of color changes with different lighting conditions. In the warm light of the morning or evening, an object will take on the yellow-orange glow of the sun. The cool light of dusk might make that same object appear more blue or gray.
Our Burnt Charcoal Plank image is designed to accurately mimic the color shifts of real wood as it is exposed to changing lighting conditions. Draw your eye to the shadows in each photo to see how the planks shift from near-black to a lighter charcoal with blue undertones and sporadic waves of yellow and orange.
Actual product color may vary from images shown due to lighting conditions, time of day, and atmospheric factors. All images have been edited to remove environmental distractions and camera artifacts, and have been color-corrected to represent the product more accurately. For color accuracy, please request a physical sample and view it in different lighting environments.
