5 Star Luxury Resort - Riley Crystalbrook in Cairns

The newly opened Riley, a Crystalbrook Collection Resort features an extensive 1250+ m2 Millboard composite deck in the Smoked Oak finish. Located in the heart of Cairns QLD along the famous Esplanade - The deck wraps around a huge lagoon-style pool and bustling lounge/restaurant areas opening onto the street.

An indulgent luxury escape, Riley offers guests a chance to relax by the pool and enjoy the beautifully chic contemporary design.

Smoked Oak Millboard decking proved the best match for this world-class project. The boards needed to hold up to wet tropical conditions and provide best-in-class slip resistance around the pool. While also being low maintenance & durable, the most important was providing a realistic gorgeous aesthetic that matched the high-quality finish of the hotel.

About the
Professional

Millboard composite decking is hand-made in the United Kingdom & styled from real oak timbers, creating an incredibly realistic look that captures the natural beauty of wood. But unlike traditional timber – which needs regular ongoing maintenance like oiling & sanding to try and stave off rotting, mould, stains, warping, cupping, fading, splinters & a host of other undesirable effects – Millboard is completely different!

This is because unlike traditional timber, or even conventional composite decking WPC (which typically contains half-timber fibre/flours/rice husks & half plastic) – Millboard contains no timber, nor any plastic.

Millboard composite decking is made from a revolutionary Polyurethane resin, reinforced with mineral fibres plus a unique Lastane® coating. So what is Polyurethane then? It’s a type of elastomer, which is a polymer about halfway between a plastic and a rubber. It maintains the rigidity & longevity of plastic, with the suppleness of rubber. This means Millboard feels much more natural underfoot, while still offering incredible durability.
