No Wood <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most composite decking combines plastic with wood fibers. But Millboard decking is made from wood-free polyurethane combined with mineral stone to create a unique resin mineral board that\u2019s tough enough for use in outdoor environments all year round. It won\u2019t warp or rot, and there is minimal movement in the boards. And because it has no wood content at all, there is nothing that can be affected by damp or attacked by insect larvae.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hand-moulded <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many composite decking boards are formed by extrusion, where the raw materials are mixed and forced through an opening that determines the shape of the end product. Millboard decking is hand-molded from original timber, then hand-colored, resulting in a far more authentic wood finish \u2013 you\u2019d hardly know it wasn\u2019t wood without close inspection.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spite of its unique composition, Millboard decking is easy to work with and can be sawn and cut with standard woodworking tools. No pre-drilling is required for fixings, and Millboard\u2019s unique Lastane\u2122 surface even flexes itself back over the heads of our special Durafix\u00ae screws, leaving a virtually indistinguishable mark to create a clean \u2018lost head\u2019 effect. <\/p>\n\n\n
