Decks, exterior facades

Millboard is a British manufacturer from Coventry, and ETED Home is its official representative in Lithuania. We supply the boards and install them.

A deck is usually built once, so what matters is not how it looks in its first spring but how it looks in its tenth. That is exactly what a Millboard board is made for.

And it is not only boards. Millboard is a complete system: subframe, hidden fixings, edge and step trims, facade details. Every part is made to work with the others and comes from one manufacturer, so the deck or the facade ends up as one coherent solution instead of something assembled from whatever was at hand.

Why it is neither timber nor composite

There is no wood in a Millboard board. Nor is it the usual composite, WPC — that one does contain wood, and the wood is what soaks up moisture.

The material here is different: a mineral core reinforced with glass fibre, finished with a flexible surface layer. With no wood fibre in it, the board does not rot, swell or split, and insects have no interest in it. About 38% of the material comes from recycled sources.

How the surface looks

The moulds are taken from real oak boards, so the texture is an impression of actual timber rather than a pressed pattern that repeats every half metre.

Every board is coloured by hand, in layers, so the shades vary naturally and no two boards look alike. That is not a fault; it is the point of the product, just as it is with real timber.

Which collection to choose for a deck

• Enhanced Grain — the main one. A pronounced, freshly sawn timber texture. Two widths: 176 and 126 mm.
• Weathered Oak — a weathered, quieter look. Suits an older house, or anywhere the sheen of a new board would be out of place. 200 mm wide.
• Lasta-Grip — with raised ribs, so a foot will not slip even on a wet board. For steps, ramps, balconies and poolsides. 200 mm wide.
• Modello — the design line, with a geometric pattern: straight (Linear) or wave (Contour). 196 mm wide.

All decking boards are 3.6 m long and 32 mm thick. The material is the same across the collections — only the look and the surface differ.

The same for facades

The facade line is called Envello. The boards are 3.6 m long.

• Shadow Line+ — a flat board with a narrow gap that casts a shadow line. The calmest and most contemporary option. 200 mm wide, 18 mm thick.
• Board & Batten+ — a board with vertical battens, for a stronger rhythm. 200 mm wide, 26 mm thick.
• Envello Décor — aluminium inserts between the boards, 47 or 61 mm wide.

A facade is more than boards: the system is closed with trim boards (146 mm), internal and external corners, aluminium starter trims and a perforated closure trim that lets the wall breathe. That is why it holds for decades.

Maintenance: mostly what you do not have to do

No oiling. No sanding. No painting or treating — ever.

Sweeping it, and washing it now and then with a mild detergent, is enough. Timber surfaces ask for oil and a lost weekend every other season; this one does not.

Is it slippery

The surface is flexible, so it does not turn slippery even when wet. Timber behaves the other way round: it wears down, grows a film and becomes more slippery with age. If the deck runs up to a pool or to a flight of steps, Lasta-Grip is the one to choose.

Warranty

The manufacturer provides a 25-year warranty. We take care of the registration and the paperwork ourselves — the confirmation is handed over with the finished job.

Not a single screw in sight

We fix the boards through the edge, from the side. Where there is no access from the side, the screw goes in through the face — the flexible surface closes over the head, so it stays out of sight and the deck looks unbroken.

Along with the boards we help choose the right subframe and every finishing piece: edge boards, flexible edge trims for a curved or irregular deck, and a bullnose board with a rounded edge for the steps. Millboard is not one good board — it is the whole set that makes a deck finished.

Where to start

Send us the dimensions of the project or a drawing and we will prepare a quantity list and a price. If you would like to see and touch the boards, they are in our showroom at Kęstučio g. 32, Vilnius.
