DECKING
Even complex designs can be easily put together
The simplicity underlying the strength and durability of the DuoSpan concept is something Millboard has taken even further by packaging the system into a series of DuoKits , with all the components necessary for creating set areas of decking . The buyer simply has to select the kit appropriate to the size of their deck , combining kits where necessary .
Professional installers have been lavish in their praise of DuoSpan , with comments including “ Clients prefer this to wood – far less hassle and maintenance ” and “ An excellent solution – It ’ s stable , technically advanced and superior in every way .”
DuoLift comes in a range of stackable components , which combine to create supports with a maximum total elevation of 450mm . Fine tuning to the specific heights required can be achieved thanks to the DuoLift Joist Cradle , which offers between 15mm and 60mm of adjustment . As each individual support beneath the deck can thus be adjusted to the precise elevation required , it removes the need to order a multitude of different height pedestals to ensure all the requisite heights can be achieved .
Strength and rigidity are built in , with the components being stacked using a twist-lock system , ensuring a fast , secure and totally stable fit .
DuoLift The next product in the Duo Collection , DuoLift , provides selflevelling structural support for deck surfaces installed on solid surfaces , such as paved patios or roof terraces . ( By the way , where decks are installed direct on to earth or another soft substrate , Millboard offers yet another unique solution – Plas-Pro posts that can be set into the ground , and on which subframes can be mounted .)
Changing the possible Both DuoSpan and DuoLift reflect Millboard ’ s passion for redefining the design and nature of outdoor spaces . Each has emerged from a detailed analysis of previous materials and methods and a focus on how their shortcomings could be overcome . The result is a decking framework system that combines superb strength , durability and ease of ownership with simplicity and speed of construction .
