What is Millboard?

Millboard is a premium UK-made decking product which is changing the face of decking as we know it. Millboard has a high-tech core together with a rubberized surface which is moulded from real timber and finished by hand, resulting in an incredibly realistic look that captures the beauty of real timber. But unlike traditional timber - which needs regular on-going maintenance like oiling & sanding to try and stave off rotting, mould, stains, warping, cupping, fading, splinters & a host of other undesirable effects - Millboard is totally different!

What Makes Millboard different?

Millboard decking is made from a revolutionary Polyurethane resin, reinforced with mineral fibres, which retains the beautiful look and feel of wood, but without the maintenance needed to keep it that way. Each decking board is moulded from carefully selected oak samples that showcase the beauty of natural wood grain, then hand-tinted by craftsmen for a perfect real-wood look. The result is decking that is virtually indistinguishable from wood in appearance, but far superior in performance. It doesn’t rot or warp, and its UV stability resists fading. With no wood content, there’s nothing to encourage algal growth either.

To add to its easy-to-live-with qualities, each board has a Lastane® surface layer which is both non-porous – so spills don’t leave stains – and highly slip-resistant, even in the wet. There’s no need to spend time applying expensive, often environmentally-unfriendly treatments to keep it looking beautiful, either. Just an occasional wipe over with standard household floor cleaners is all that’s needed.
