The Durafix® stainless steel screws, designed specifically for Millboard, must be used to fix Millboard boards – this is a requirement of their limited warranty. There’s no need to pre-drill or countersink Millboard decking and the unique Lastane® material coating flexes back over the screw heads, leaving a minimal witness mark. This may be more visible on the lighter colours. Should some of the screws leave larger witness marks, these can be filled.

Millboard is designed and manufactured to provide the aesthetic beauty of real timber without the issues associated with real wood. The product is not intended to have identical shades. Buying all the Millboard decking you need at the same time should help ensure that the colour is similar in consistency and it is recommended to mix the boards for the layout before installing, to ensure the deck has a desired overall variance to showcase the products’ character and individuality.

There will always be a slight variance in the boards’ dimensions due to the fact they are moulded from natural oak and due to the pressure of the moulding process. Despite this, the boards are calibrated to maintain as consistent a profile as possible. The manufacturing tolerances are: Width: ± 3mm, Length: ± 5mm, Thickness: ± 2mm. The dimensions of the Weathered Oak style may vary more between moulds, because they are moulded from timeworn oak with minimal changes to the dimensions. When working with the boards, packers may be required to create a flush finish between two boards.
