Millboard isn't just great for decking - it can be used for cladding, seating, planters, gates, feature walls and so much more!

Millboard decking was brought into the market predominantly as a decking product, however we’ve been overwhelmed by the range of ways that people have used it. Landscapers and gardeners everywhere are discovering that Millboard decking’s versatility and durability makes it very suitable for other uses such as cladding, seating, planters, gates, fences, table tops, feature walls and more.

As Millboard can be mitred and glued using PU wood adhesive, it makes it very easy to create a seamless masterpiece. Why not try out some of these ideas yourself?

Millboard is the perfect material for cladding use; its colour-stable coating enables the product to retain its good looks throughout its lifespan.

Whether in a city centre basement apartment or a holiday villa, you can add a touch of luxury to your outdoor area with a feature wall. Millboard can be used to clad a featureless wall, bringing life to the entire area – unlike timber, Millboard doesn’t support algal growth, so the effect will endure beautifully.

Not exclusive to outdoor use, Millboard decking planks can also be used for indoor feature walls - for example in the man cave, wine cellar or garage.
