When you invest in a beautiful deck, you want it to remain stable and perfectly finished for many years to come. It’s natural to focus primarily on the appearance of the decking boards, but the structure underneath deserves just as much attention.
An unsuitable subframe can eventually lead to movement, deflection or loose fixings. That’s why we recommend using dedicated Plas-Pro joists with our Millboard decking.
A Durable Subframe Made from 100% Recycled Plastic
Plas-Pro joists, beams and posts are manufactured from 100% recycled plastic. This all-weather material does not absorb moisture like timber and is resistant to rot, splintering and splitting.
This makes Plas-Pro a particularly durable and practical alternative to a traditional timber subframe, especially in environments where moisture plays an important role.
Think of a (roof) terrace, a garden deck, a waterside deck or the area surrounding a swimming pool.
Why Do Fixings Remain Secure in Plas-Pro?
Timber subframes naturally respond to changing levels of temperature and moisture. Over time, repeated expansion and contraction can affect the stability of the structure and its fixings.
Plas-Pro behaves differently. Because the material isn’t affected by moisture in the same way as timber, it provides a stable foundation for the fixings used to secure your Millboard decking.
The result is a strong and reliable subframe designed to keep your deck stable over the long term.
How Do You Install a Plas-Pro Subframe?
For securely connecting Plas-Pro posts and joists, we recommend using the specially coated Hexhead screws.
These fixings make it possible to construct a solid frame that provides the foundation for the Millboard decking boards above.

A Clean Finish with Virtually Invisible Fixings
To secure Millboard decking to Plas-Pro joists, we recommend Durafix® stainless steel screws.
These dedicated fixings can be driven directly through the Millboard board into the Plas-Pro subframe without the need to pre-drill the decking.
Once the screw is installed, Millboard’s resilient Lastane® surface closes back over the screw head. This creates Millboard’s distinctive Lost Head® effect, leaving the fixing virtually hidden from view.
The result is a strong fixing combined with a clean, uninterrupted deck surface—so the structure underneath does its job without distracting from the finished design.
This remnant stock has only been used for five days at a trade fair. The boards have not been screwed down, so they are still completely new. However, the floor is dirty and needs to be cleaned with soap and water before use. Includes fastening materials, transport with forklift truck, and VAT. Matching substructure available at extra cost.
