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.
Millboard 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 with plas-pro sub frame joists, bearers and posts 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.
DuoLift® Pedestals & joints – 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 DuoLift® 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 DuoLift® Self-levelling Joints provides easy and effective levelling of a subframe up to 5º, ready for decking installation. Suitable for standing directly onto a solid substrate, or for providing a joint for a higher support.
Durafix® screws - for Millboard decking boards
Say goodbye to unsightly screws in beautiful decking work. With no pre-drilling needed, Millboard have made installation easy with their Durafix screws. 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.
