Durability to last a lifetime
Millboard composite decking has many features that we love at Walker Landscape and Design. It is splinter-free, rot and split resistant and low maintenance – what’s not to love? Indeed, the unique Lastane layer that tops the Millboard decking helps to make it incredibly durable, even against significant outdoor weather impact. Being solid in structure, it also does not warp or harbour any insects/pests that in the way that timber would. This makes composite decking a more durable, long-lasting option for anyone looking for luxurious garden decking.
Like real wood, but better
Decking like no other – Millboard composite decking is incredibly unique in it’s texture. Bringing together the beauty of natural oak with the durability and performance of polyurethane, the Millboard composite decking collections are known for their strength and function, as well as their style. Topped with a Lastane surface, Millboard composite decking channels luxury for an authentic wood finish. Best of all, this grainy, oak-like texture feels like real wood beneath your feet – perfect as you wander to the poolside. And finally, the texture is naturally slip-resistant, making any poolside decking a safe solution for your home.
How does Millboard differ from traditional wood decking?
100% Wood-Free: Millboard sets itself apart from other composite decking options with its innovative composition. Crafted from a unique blend of wood-free polyurethane and mineral stone, Millboard eliminates concerns of warping, rotting, and board movement. Its exceptional stability ensures durability, while its complete absence of wood content makes it impervious to dampness and immune to insect larvae.
Hand-Moulded Authenticity: Millboard takes pride in its craftsmanship, offering decking boards that authentically capture the beauty of nature. While many composites rely on extrusion, Millboard takes a meticulous approach. Each board is hand-moulded using original timber, replicating the genuine grain and texture of real wood. To enhance the natural resemblance even further, skilled artisans personally hand-colour each board, resulting in a finish that is virtually indistinguishable from natural wood.
What are the advantages of using composite decking?
Millboard decking offers exceptional durability and longevity. It is highly resistant to rot, decay, and warping, making it a reliable choice for outdoor applications. Additionally, it requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional wood decking. It does not need to be stained, painted, or sealed, saving both time and money in the long run. Millboard is also highly resistant to rotting and warping, ensuring that it maintains its appearance over time.
Is Millboard composite decking sustainable?
Millboard takes sustainability seriously and is committed to offering eco-friendly products. Their composite decking is designed with sustainability in mind. The boards are crafted from a combination of recycled materials, including reclaimed wood fibres and recycled plastics, reducing waste and minimising environmental impact. Millboard decking is built to have a long lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements and further decreasing waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Due to Millboard decking being made from a composite material, it does tend to be warmer than timber when under direct sunlight – and this is more noticeable with the darker coloured composites. Caution should be taken in the heat.
-
Millboard is made from a resin mineral composition, meaning it is more stable when compared to timber or composites based on timber. Millboard recommends a 4mm gap between the sides of boards and 1mm gap between the ends of the boards, while a 10mm gap should be left between the boards and any solid surface to support drainage. This is all handled by our team at Walker Landscape and Design when installing your boards.
-
Millboard composite decking is topped with a unique Lastane material, which is resistant to light marks such as food and drinks spills and everyday wear and tear. However, anything that is dragged across the decking can leave a dent, so be careful if you plan to move furniture. Further, sharp objects such as animal claws or metal planters can also impact the decking.
We recommend that anything spilled on the Millboard decking is removed as soon as possible and that the decking is covered and protected if you’re having surrounded building or landscaping works completed post-installation of your Millboard decking.
-
When your boards are first installed, they still have a ‘release agent’ on the surface from the manufacturing process. This can result in a shiny or oily finish when brand new, however this will wear off over a 6-8 week period.
-
When your boards are first installed, they have what they call a ‘release agent’ on the surface. This means that the water will form beads over the surface of the boards. This will naturally come off over a 6-8 week period based on natural weathering and usage. Once the release agent has come off, the water will dissipate across the board’s surface.
It is worth noting that composite decking will always incur a slightly increased amount of surface water, due to it being made from a non-porous composition. We recommend that surface water is removed with a brush or large squeegee, while frost and ice should be removed by spreading white salt across the boards.
-
Yes, due to the texture and materials of Millboard composite decking, it has high resistance to algae growth, which means it is incredibly slip resistant.
-
Great news – you can use a Solus fire pit (or any other fire pit) on top of your Millboard decking. You will simply need to ensure the fire pit is on a porcelain or cement tile/slab. This area needs to extend roughly 1m further than the width of the fire pit to ensure that any embers or burning material do not come into contact with the boards. If embers or burning material does fall onto the boards, it will need to be immediately removed to prevent any damage or lasting marks.
