We welcome Millboard to deliver a RIBA approved CPD event focusing on their cladding systems and decking systems.

Millboard decking combines the natural beauty of real timber with the high performance of their unique wood-free material. As opposed to wood-plastic composite (WPC) decking which is made through extrusion, Millboard decking is moulded from real Oak planks to replicate the natural character and grain detail in timber. Where even the highest quality hardwood can warp, fade and quickly lose its original appeal, Millboard decking is crafted using a resin mineral composition (RMC) to withstand demanding outdoor environments. This seminar explores available options for decking. Within the options it runs through the key points that specifiers need to consider, including: Health and safety requirements, sustainability, durability, performance, fire safety, aesthetics, installation and maintenance. It also highlights the alternative uses and considerations for outdoor flooring. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:

• Conventional materials for decking
• The applications where decking can be used, taking into consideration important factors
• The alternative uses of decking and the design possibilities
• What the choices are for decking currently
• How to specify a decking product that meets the standards and will stand the test of time
• What the best base would be for the decking and what maintenance will be needed after installation
