Millboard from Alterwood is extremely suitable for terraces, conservatories, canopies, roof terraces and balconies and is perfect as a swimming pool surround or façade cladding. The possibilities are unrivalled.
The core of the Millboard board consists of a combination of plastic and polyurethane, reinforced with fibreglass. The unique closed ‘cellular’ internal structure makes the board light and strong.
The solid boards will not warp, rot or harbour insects and pests. Besides the strong core, the special self-healing top layer is another aspect that makes the Millboard board so unique. This Lastane™ topcoat is resistant to scratches and stains and has been specially developed for the demanding outdoor environment.
Millboard planks are provided with a special coating that prevents algae formation, making them ideal for humid environments. The planks stay cleaner and require less maintenance, such as scrubbing. The natural structure of the planks remains intact, which benefits their lifespan. Thanks to the algae-repellent effect, the planks retain their original appearance.
Millboard planks are stain resistant, making them suitable for outdoor use. The Lastane® top layer makes the planks more resistant to stains from food and drinks. The top layer prevents liquids from penetrating the material, making it easy to clean the planks with water and a cloth.
The material has a firm grip and is therefore very slip-resistant. Research shows that an anti-slip value of R12 is achieved on both dry and wet floors. This is a great advantage, especially for applications around swimming pools, jacuzzis and water features, but also in wet weather.
Just like real timber boards, Millboard boards are easy to work with, and their remarkably low expansion coefficient means a gap of just 2 mm at the ends is sufficient. The boards can also be mitred and glued at the corners. By touching up the end of the sawn board with the right matching coating colour, the original appearance is restored.
Do you want to walk around barefoot? No problem. Millboard planks are completely splinter-free. No risk of splinters, as with traditional wood.
You don’t have to worry about warping or wear. The closed ‘cellular’ structure of the planks ensures that moisture has no chance to penetrate, so the planks keep their shape and remain durable, year after year.
Millboard planks are UV resistant and retain their colour even after years in the sun. They continue to look like new and can withstand extreme weather conditions such as cold, rain and frost without fading, warping or cracking.
Alterwood offers the complete range of Millboard. From a wide choice of boards in various collections to specific finishing materials for an optimal final result. When you choose Millboard from Alterwood, you are choosing quality, knowledge and service.
Millboard planks are maintenance-free, which makes them very attractive to you if you like to be unburdened. Sanding, oiling or painting is a thing of the past, which saves you a lot of time and money. Millboard planks consist of a combination of plastic and polyurethane, reinforced with fiberglass. This ensures that the planks can withstand heavy loads and wear, without deforming or breaking. The planks will last for years, even in the most demanding conditions.
Millboard’s production process uses recycled fillers and so-called biopolymers (extracted from sugar cane or corn). This means that no oil is used to make the plastics. This also explains the extremely low CO² footprint of only 1.31 kg CO² per m². Millboard lasts longer than traditional wooden floors, making them a lot more sustainable than other wooden floors.
The Millboard planks hardly expand. Even with strong temperature changes, the end edges only widen by 2 mm. This ensures a consistently tight terrace or other outdoor space, without the deformations that often occur with other materials when exposed to rain, sun or hail.
The planks are surprisingly light, which is very nice for your underlying structures. The core of the Millboard plank consists of a combination of plastic and polyurethane, reinforced with fiberglass. The unique closed ‘cellular’ internal structure ensures that the plank is light and strong. The planks will not warp, rot or harbor insects and vermin.
If you want to renovate or build your outdoor space, Millboard is a worry-free and sustainable solution. The planks are resistant to all weather conditions, do not warp and always retain their colour. This allows you to create a luxurious and maintenance-free environment in which you can relax, without wasting time and energy on maintenance. The benefits are clear: less worries, more enjoyment of a beautiful, sustainable outdoor space that will last for years.

Millboard is a premium brand for outdoor flooring and façade cladding. Millboard boards have the look and feel of wood but are maintenance- and splinter-free and stain, UV and weather resistant. The boards are virtually indistinguishable from genuine timber and, combined with their unique properties, they are the perfect alternative to wood in various outdoor applications such as flooring and façades. You can read more about the benefits of Millboard here.
Yes, the unique composition of Millboard prevents warping and rotting, while the shades of colour and the wood grain make the boards barely distinguishable from real wood. Millboard is 100% wood-free and sustainably produced. The unique Lastane™ coating has the best non-slip properties, is algae-resistant and guarantees quick installation. This makes the boards the perfect alternative to wood, composite or bamboo in various outdoor applications. You can read more about the benefits of Millboard here.
Millboard boards are precise, hand-formed replicas of carefully selected timber boards with coarse and finer texture. The boards are coated with a wash, which penetrates deeply into the wood grain structure. And this is done by hand, so each board is unique. The boards, with their colour variations and wood grain, exhibit a remarkably natural appearance that is indistinguishable from real timber.
Yes, the unique, specially developed Lastane™ coating is scratch-resistant under normal conditions. Sharp objects such as unprotected table or chair legs or flower pots can cause scratches. Be careful when moving these objects. Despite the self-healing top layer, we recommend using furniture felt pads to protect the floor.
The Millboard material is inherently grippy and, as such, very slip resistant. Moreover, Millboard is wood-free and non-porous and algae cannot adhere to its resilient, non-porous Lastane™ top layer. Studies show that, on both dry and wet floors, an anti-slip rating of R12 is achieved. Especially in applications around swimming pools, jacuzzis and water features, as well as in wet weather, this is a huge advantage.
During production, an oil is used to give the planks their unique finish. After Millboard leaves the factory, a thin layer of oil remains on the boards. For several weeks after installation, the boards will repel rainwater as small droplets. This is perfectly normal and will no longer happen after a while.
Millboard is UV resistant, which means that under normal conditions no discolouration can be observed with the naked eye. Its colours last much longer than those of real wood or bamboo, and even those of most composites. We recommend ordering enough for the entire project at one time, as there may be slight colour differences between production batches.
Millboard is completely resistant to freeze–thaw cycles, snow and ice. Snow and ice may adhere to the coating, but this will not damage or affect the boards themselves. The use of de-icing salt is not recommended, as it may affect the board’s coating. Cleaning with a broom and a little water in spring is often enough to remove any residue that accumulates during the winter.
Yes, Millboard is a versatile product that can definitely be used for many purposes. Just like real timber boards, it can be used for façade cladding, fences, stairs, planters, chairs, lounge seating, benches, etc. In public spaces, Millboard is used for promenades, quays and bridges. The possibilities are endless!
The prices of composite boards are often higher than the prices of standard decking materials. However, Millboard is an exceptionally high-quality product. The price may be higher than softwood, plastic or bamboo, but they simply cannot compete on quality. In addition, time and money are saved because Millboard requires virtually no maintenance, as Millboard is made of a mixture of polymer resin and polyurethane. Sweeping off occasionally with a broom to remove leaves is all you ever need to do. Because Millboard boards are durable and long-lasting, they need to be replaced significantly less often. It is an investment that will pay for itself in no time.
There may be a slight deviation in the board dimensions because they are cast in moulds made of natural oak and due to the pressure applied during the moulding process. Nevertheless, the boards are calibrated to maintain as consistent a profile as possible. Production tolerances are: Width: ±3 mm. Length: ±5 mm. Thickness: ±2 mm. More information and installation instructions can be found on our Help & Advice page.

All the boards are produced in moulds. To prevent surface damage when the boards are removed from the moulds, a release agent is used. Some of this release agent remains on the boards. As the boards weather naturally, this will dissipate. Depending on weather conditions, this could take 4-6 weeks. The process can be sped up by cleaning the boards with warm soapy water and a hard brush (sometimes it is necessary to repeat this several times to get the desired result).
