Cladco Composite Decking Boards
What’s in Cladco Composite Decking?
We offer our Signature Composite Decking Boards which is made up of 60% FSC® Certified recycled wood fibres and 40% recycled plastics, combined with bonding agents and tints. This original decking board is a great alternative to timber with a little less maintenance and stylish colour variations. ProDeck Composite Boards are a next-generation decking solution, with increased durability thanks to a polymer capped shell. This protective layer shields the original composite core from potential damage.
Composite Decking: Simple to Clean and Maintain
Cladco composite decking is resistant to rot, splintering and warping due to the plastic elements within the composite make-up. Unlike timber decking, neither of our composite boards need to be sealed, stained or painted. Signature Composite Decking Boards will need to be kept free from debris and water for prolonged periods of time to avoid possible damage, whereas our ProDeck Composite Boards require less maintenance, due to the protective capping.
How to Install Composite Decking?
Our composite boards can be cut to length using standard woodworking tools. Stainless steel screws and t-clips can be used to secure the decking boards to a suitable joist subframe. This ensures that the structure is sturdy and as easy as possible to install. For more detailed information, refer to our installation guides and video explainers. You can also contact our Customer Support team on 01837 659901 if you have any further questions.

Please note: Natural colour variations in our Signature Composite Decking Boards are expected due to the high contents of timber within the product. We advise ordering all of your boards in one go, to reduce these variations. Additionally, the boards may appear different in wet and dry weather, which can make these colour differences more noticeable.
After installation, our composite decking goes through a period of stabilisation as the material gets used to its outdoor environment, this often happens within six months. Sun exposure and weather conditions will affect the level of the weathering.
Our ProDeck Composite Decking Board benefits from being stain and fade resistant. With a choice between a detailed woodgrain and narrow grooved surface, the boards are capped for increased weather resistance and strength.
ProDeck Bullnose Composite Decking Boards provide a finishing edge to capped composite decking projects. With narrow grooves that provide a low-slip surface under-foot, the boards have a protective shell to increase resistance to potential mould, surface damage and UV fading.

Cladco Nordeck Decking Boards
What’s in Nordeck Decking?
Nordeck Woodgrain Effect Decking features a PVC core with an ASA (acrylic-styrene-acrylonitrile) resin exterior. Although containing no natural wood elements, Nordeck Decking mimics traditional timber while offering low maintenance and superior strength. The PVC core ensures each Board is weatherproof and the ASA-resin exterior is fade, scratch, and stain-resistant. Nordeck Decking Boards come with a 20-year Warranty and are available in seven natural colours, with Bullnose and Fascia Boards providing a sophisticated finish.
Maintaining Nordeck Decking Boards
Nordeck Woodgrain Effect Decking Boards are easy to maintain. Due to their low-absorption properties, Nordeck Boards do not swell, rot, warp, or encourage the growth of moss, mould, or mildew. Boards are strong and durable, and do not need to be painted, varnished, or sanded unlike traditional timber boards. To keep Nordeck Decking looking its best, simply keep the Boards clear of debris and clean them as often as needed with warm, soapy water. For a long-lasting decking area, avoid the use of chemicals to clean Nordeck Decking Boards.

Nordeck Woodgrain Effect Decking can suit any style or space. The durable, weather and UV-resistant properties make Nordeck Decking suitable for installations in areas exposed to harsh sunlight, or in damp conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Millboard® expand or contract?
Millboard® Decking Boards expansion and contraction is minimum in comparison to timber decking materials. The wood-free composition of the Board is designed to produce reduced thermal movement, resulting in little expansion or contraction over time.
Does decking get hot in the sun?
Millboard® Enhanced Grain Decking Boards are manufactured using a wood free composition, which prevents the Boards from getting as hot as traditional timber or other decking materials may. These Decking Boards feature UV stabilisers to resist the effects of sunlight.
Can I use a pressure washer on my decking?
Pressure washers can be used carefully on Millboard decking for cleaning and rinsing. We would recommend a PSI no greater than 2,000 should be used, with a 40 to 60 degree spread fan tip. The head should always be kept around 300mm away from the surface.
Does Millboard Decking come with a warranty?
Yes, a Limited Warranty provides peace of mind. We assure you that we stand by the provisions laid down in the Limited Warranty document. For details on the Millboard® or Cladco warranty, please see our T&C's.

Cladco Aluminium Decking Boards
Cladco Aluminium Decking Boards
Our Aluminium Decking Boards are designed for durability and longevity. Fire-rated (A2-S1) Aluminium Decking is non-combustible and provides commercial spaces and decked balconies with the perfect decking type, where certain building regulations need to be complied with. As a metal product, Aluminium Decking Boards are powder-coated, making them highly resistant toweathering, pests and other potential damages from impacts, giving your area a hard-wearing decking surface. These extremely tough Boards are UV stable and resist expansion and contraction due to temperature changes and general wear and tear.
Maintaining Aluminium Decking Boards
Aluminium Decking is easy to maintain throughout its lifetime. We recommend regularly clearing away any debris or standing water off the surface of the Boards. This cleaning process will also improve the safety element of your area to prevent slipping. Standard everyday plants, leaves and grime can be removed by brushing your deck with a stiff-bristled broom in the direction of the grooves. We recommend avoiding cleaning products that contain chlorinated solvents, ketones or esters, which could damage the powder-coated surface of Aluminium Decking Boards. Finish cleaning the Boards by rinsing the surface with plain water.
How to Install Aluminium Decking?
Installing Aluminium Decking can be performed using Aluminium Decking Joists, Starter Clips and Hidden Clips with 30mm Screws, all of which are available via our website. Using pedestals (not supplied), Aluminium Decking Boards can be installed securely over concrete, allowing for a drainage gradient of 12.5mm fall per metre. Aluminium Joists are placed at maximum centres of 600mm, leaving a 2-3mm gap for expansion between each Board. Aluminium Decking installations can be completed using colour-matched Aluminium Skirting and Corner Trims to produce a professionally-finished decking area.
Aluminium Decking is lightweight, long-lasting and hard-wearing, providing the perfect choice for balconies, rooftops and commercial spaces. Available in a range of four colours as well as plain anodised aluminium, Aluminium Decking is fire-rated (A2-S1) for protection, where needed.

Cladco Timber Decking Boards

If you are in search of durable and dependable timber decking, we have you covered with our top-quality Timber Decking Boards. Crafted from responsibly-sourced softwood spruce, our Timber Boards not only deliver strength and reliability but also imbue your project with a timeless, natural aesthetic that will last for years. Spruce is a well-renowned choice due to its hard-wearing properties, with our Timber Decking Boards kiln dried to ensure increased stability and water resistance. Timber Boards are green pressure treated with Tanalith ‘E’ and are C24 graded for structural stability to improve resistance and durability once installed.
Maintaining Timber Decking Boards
Cladco Timber Decking Boards are easy to maintain allowing you to keep them looking great for years to come. We recommend keeping your deck free from debris by regularly sweeping the surface to remove fallen leaves, berries or grass cuttings, for example. Pressure washing can be performed to remove tougher marks and using a wood treatment preservative, or stainer, can improve the resistant properties of wooden decking boards. If you require a deeper clean, sanding is also an option for taking off the top layer and then treating with a wood preservative for longer lasting quality and natural results.
How to Install Timber Decking?
We offer Timber Joists and Posts that perfectly complement your decking installation, providing a cohesive and sturdy structural framework for your project. Our Timber Decking Boards can be fixed in place using stainless steel wood screws and can be painted or stained for additional protection benefits.

From pathways to large seating areas, Timber Decking is a versatile product that can be adapted using standard woodworking tools, making these Boards very easy to work with.
