Application

Use Millboard decking for all standard outdoor flooring applications (e.g. in residential, commercial, education, healthcare, leisure and hospitality) including:

  • Ground-level terraces/ patios;
  • Roof-level terraces;
  • Balconies (subject to Building Control);
  • Podium decks;
  • Public spaces/ areas;
  • Boardwalks;
  • Pool surrounds;
  • Jetties/ pontoons/ marinas.


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.

Description

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.


Features and benefits:

  • Hand moulded and coloured - Skilfully hand-crafted to ensure a high quality, premium product.
  • Natural wood look - Moulded from selected oak for an organic, realistic wood-grain appearance.
  • Wood-free - Wood free composition prevents rot, warping and insect infestation.
  • Recycled materials - Recycled materials and renewable biopolymers are used within our boards.
  • Integrated UV stabilizers - UV stabilized for better performance and fade resistance over time.
  • ‘Lost-head’ fixings - Durafix fixings are virtually hidden beneath the unique Lastane surface.
  • Soft-touch surface - Unique Lastane layer means no splinters on the surface.
  • Impact and weather resistant - Elastomeric surface ensures increased resilience against natural weathering.
  • High slip-resistance - Lower slip potential than wood due to the pliable Lastane layer.
  • UK made, UK backed - Designed and manufactured in the UK, tested independently globally.
  • Mould resistant - Unlike wood, it is actively resistant to mould and fungus.
  • Moisture resistant - Due to the non-porous composition, no sealing is required.
  • Maximum durability - Fibre reinforced core provides strength and durability whilst reducing weight.
  • Low maintenance - No staining or oiling needed. Only seasonal cleaning required.
