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.
