Millboard Installation Guide

If you’re planning a Millboard decking project, you will need to ensure that you are equipped with the right tools to get the job done to a high standard. There is a whole range of Millboard installation solutions, fixings and finishings to get the most from your Millboard decking.

 

Plas-pro solutions

Plas-pro solutions are the ideal companion for Millboard. Made from 100% recycled plastic, they won’t split, crack or rot like a standard timber frame.

Different plas-pro solutions are available, including:

Sub frame – perfect for jetties and boardwalks

 

Millboard is rot-free and weather resistant, so it’s important that the foundations it’s laid on can also provide the same quality and guarantee. Plas-Pro solutions are the ideal companion for Millboard. Made from 100% recycled plastic, plas-pro won’t split, crack or rot like a standard timber frame. This also makes it ideal around damp areas – such as jetties, roof terraces and boardwalks. Using Millboard and plas-pro solutions together provides you with a high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor space.

 

Can Millboard be installed on a normal timber sub frame?

Yes, and this will not affect your warranty as this applies to the Millboard decking boards only. Whether you're using plas-pro or timber sub frames, we recommend that you follow the technical installation guide when forming the structure.

Millboard pedestals

Pedestals & Joist cradles – perfect for balconies and roof terraces

 

With a rise in the number of modern apartment blocks being constructed, balconies and roof terraces now come as standard. Millboard pedestals are an ideal solution for raised decks and balconies, creating space and breathability to help prevent joists from rot. The smart design of the adjustable pedestals also provides space needed under decks for any pipe work or services to be laid.

Millboard joist cradles are suitable for all hard surfaces and also provide an acoustic benefit by helping to reduce sound transfer. Like the pedestals, the joist cradles are also adjustable.

Millboard fixings

Fixings

Say goodbye to unsightly screws in beautiful decking work. With no pre-drilling needed, Millboard have made installation easy with their Durafix fixings. The stainless-steel screws have a self-cutting tip and simply need to be screwed in. The Lastane coating on the board then cleverly, and simply, flexes over the fixing, leaving virtually no trace of the screw.

 

Each decking board requires approximately 22 fixings.

Finish the look with fascias and edging

Millboard pay attention to detail and offer a range of fascias and edging to complete the Millboard look. Millboard edging is available in Bullnose for a smooth and subtle look or Rubbed for a squarer look. The Millboard fascias are available to match every decking colour, allowing the space to flow and creating a finished look.

 

Millboard edging and fascias are available as a standard, ridged product or with flexibility to fit curves and contours.
