Notes
Millboard is simple to replace, although the Durafix fixings disappear the boards can be prized off the deck using a flat bar and either re-used or disposed. The fixings will then need to be removed from the subframe.
Being manufactured under strict quality control in the UK, Millboard is of the highest quality. The core of Millboard is Limestone (natural mineral), meaning it will not rot or break down over time. The top surface layer of Millboard is called Lastane, this is an incredible durable rubberised layer making it highly slip resistant.
