Decking is a sure-fire way to enhance your outdoors space, from balconies to patios. But choose the right product and you can say goodbye to slippery surfaces, rot and endless cleaning…
Decking that’s different

Decking has been a popular addition to homes over the last few decades. In theory, it’s a perfect way to create a socialising place outside that’s low maintenance and tidy, all while looking great.
However, many people’s experiences have been different in reality. Traditional wood decking might look wonderful, but it expands and contracts at the behest of the weather, is prone to developing a slippery surface, rots and is infested by wood-loving insects.
Composite decking has been seen as an attractive alternative, but as that also contains wood elements, it has also proven to be far from perfect. Enter Millboard…
Wood or would not?

Millboard eliminate the unwanted downsides of wooden and composite decking by combining wood-free polyurethane and mineral stone to create a unique resin mineral. The end result is extremely stable so isn’t prone to damp, rot or warping. You won’t need to replace it every couple of years and, perhaps best of all, you won’t be scrubbing it clean like you would lesser decking.
This comes without sacrificing the evergreen appeal of wood. Available in numerous hues and finishes, Millboard’s decking is virtually indistinguishable from wood, but consistently outperforms it.
There’s a rare attention to detail here, something Millboard pride themselves on. That approach is evident not just in the beauty and hand-moulded finish of the products, but also in the way they’re sourced and manufactured. Sustainability is key, which is why Millboard have opted to have their carbon footprint verified independently. It’s a stated commitment to delivering high-performance decking without damaging the planet.
