Composite decking that perfectly replicates prime oak.
Use Millboard decking for all standard outdoor flooring applications (e.g. in residential, commercial, education, healthcare, leisure and hospitality) including:
Millboard can be used as the decorative face for most outdoor designs, as long as it is fixed to a structural element.
Installation:
Millboard decking boards should be installed with a 4 mm gap between the boards and a 1 mm gap at the butt ends, to facilitate drainage. There is no need for a ventilation gap to be left under the Millboard decking boards. The maximum unsupported overhang for the boards is 50 mm, each cut board must be supported by a minimum of three joists. Each board must be screwed down with 2 x Millboard Durafix® stainless steel screw fixings where a board crosses a joist, and 3 x Millboard Durafix® stainless steel screw fixings at the ends of the boards. All installation recommendations set out in the installation guide found on the manufacturer's website.
Ground-level application (soft surface):
Millboard decking boards installed over DuoSpan 99 mm Joists and Beams, Beams supported by Plas-Pro Posts concreted into the ground. Installed with DuoSpan brackets to the recommendations set out in the installation guide found on the manufacturer's website.
Hard surfaces application (roof terrace, concrete base):
Millboard decking boards installed over DuoSpan Joists, Joists supported by DuoLift joists supports onto a solid/stable base. Installed with DuoSpan brackets to the recommendations set out in the installation guide found on the manufacturer's website.
Joist spacing:
Enhanced Grain boards need to be supported at 400 mm centres for residential applications. Commercial applications, bridges, balconies and steps must have 300 mm joist spacings.
Moulded from timbers that are selected from oak boards for a textured look and feel, the Enhanced Grain collection's contemporary design accurately recreates the subtle nuances of natural wood. Each of the shades are slip-resistant and showcase their organic patinas beautifully.
The structural core of Millboard decking is a blend of natural minerals bonded in a polymer resin, with long fibre reinforcement for mechanical strength and durability. The top surface is a textured, resilient Lastane® layer which is chemically melded to the core and hand-tinted using 2K component pigments that resist fading and UV damage.
DuoSpan and Plas-Pro decking subframes, DuoLift joist pedestals and Plas-Pro posts to be specified separately.
