What is Millboard Decking?

The core materials that Millboard is made from are polymer-based resin and a variety of fibres including glass, carbon and natural fibres which are used for reinforcement.

What are the benefits?

• Algae resistant - Real wood can turn green with algae over time. This can lead to a slippery, dangerous surface and also makes it very labour intensive, as it will require frequent cleaning. Being algae-resistant makes Millboard decking a great choice for outdoor kitchens or outdoor dining areas.

• Anti-slip - Even when wet, Millboard decking boasts high anti-slip ratings thanks to its unique resin material.

• Durable - Millboard is a hardwearing composite that will never splinter, warp or rot. The Lastane finish means it's highly resistant to scratches and it’s also UV resistant so it won’t fade over time.

• Natural look - Millboard is hand coloured with authentic tones. Meaning it is available in many ranges and colours and can perfectly replicate any wood.

• Low-maintenance - Millboard won’t need regular oiling, sanding or staining like a traditional deck. The non-porous material means that it’s highly resistant to food and drink stains.

The Installation Process

For Millboard Decking:
The deck area will be cleaned before being excavated to the appropriate depth. The area will then be covered by a thick geotextile membrane to suppress the future growth of weeds. Posts holes will be marked every 1sqm and dug out to a minimum of 400mm deep. Treated posts will then be set deeply into the ground with postcrete for a long-lasting and extremely sturdy deck. Treated timbers will be fixed level to the posts to create the frame for the deck. High-quality deck millboards will then be screwed down flush and evenly, with staggered joints. The step will also be framed and faced with millboards, around the perimeter edging a board will be reversed to create a neat and tidy finish. Once the deck has been installed it will be cleaned and will be ready to use!
