Requirements: Non-slip decking with an authentic timber look for multiple terraces Project Location: Southampton Designer: HGP Architects Products Used: Enhanced Grain Smoked Oak A bustling port and gateway to the Solent, Southampton Harbour also enjoys an international reputation for hosting the annual Boat Show, and in recent years the Ocean Village development has been adding to the area’s prestige. HGP Architects were engaged to create a five-star hotel for the marina, and they came up with a spectacular design: Southampton Harbour Hotel looks like a luxury ocean liner moored on the waterfront, with terraces on multiple levels. High-end decking was required for all the terraces, and as well as looking good, materials had to be able to withstand the waterside location: non-slip and non-rot properties were vital. The 1500m² installation is built on a subframe constructed from Millboard’s Plas-Pro material and perfectly meets the brief for a durable and glamorous finish. The super-yacht-inspired Harbour Hotel and Spa has quickly become an icon of contemporary architectural design.
MillboardHand-moulded from natural timbers, Millboard decking and cladding is virtually indistinguishable from real wood but outperforms it on every level. Unlike conventional composite boards, Millboard decking resists the elements, requires minimal maintenance and will not rot or warp like timber. Our decking boards are also slip-resistant too. The mould masters for the Millboard range are carefully selected. The Weathered Oak range, for example, is moulded from oak boards that are over a century old. This selection imbues the finished product with a satisfying sense of history and an immediate aged appearance for the perfect, lived-in finish.  Each length is carefully hand-coloured in incredible true-to-life tonal shades to achieve the high-quality that is Millboard’s signature feature. This level of attention to detail reflects Millboard’s desire to provide the most authentic-looking product available on the market today. "Millboard decking provided an ideal surface for what the clients required. It looks superb and it needs little or no maintenance to stay that way." -- Interested in a RIBA Approved CPD training session? We are proud to offer both face-to-face or virtual CPDs.
