THIS & LEFT: Millboard decking has been specifically designed to overcome the maintenance, slip and rot issues of traditional decking
whether indoors or outside. As with their Rubbaflex product, Stonex is installed by their expert team. The product is mixed with resin before being either hand trowelled or installed with a hover float. For pool surrounds, they recommend broadcasting a non-slip media over the still curing Stonex surface to maximise slip resistance. This additional non-slip element is clear once dry unlike conventional sand. Stonex is also idea for additional landscaping such as pathways, patios and driveways. It can also be installed internally in conservatories and kitchens, offering a great deal of flexibility in design terms. Stonex is in fact so versatile, it has recently been installed in an independent clothing store; The Candy Store in London, as well as in the Beefeater Grill restaurant in Halifax. So remember Stonex is not just for pools, it can be used internally in commercial and domestic situations too! Further pictures of their recent Stonex installations are available on their website, as well as on their Facebook page.
So when you are considering which pool surround to install, don’t forget Flexflooring and their wide range of products. They have got something to suite all tastes and budgets.

wood free to eliminate these shortcomings. Made using a polyurethane and mineral blend, it is one of the most stable, durable and lowest maintenance of any known timber or wood plastic composite decking. It truly is the new generation of decking.
Is the decking maintenance free?
Algae, the green stuff, will thrive in most places where there is a porous or damp surface, and needs to feed off any dirt or protein in the product material to grow. Due to fact that Millboard contains no wood content, and coupled with the non porous lastane outer layer, it means that it does not host algae growth. Additionally the lastane is non-porous so it creates a virtual ‘self cleansing’ surface, the rain washes off most of the surface debris. Their customers call it ‘Fit and forget’.
Is it an ant-slip decking?
Yes, definitely. In addition to being wood free, the softer lastane outer layer enhances the slip resistance providing unparalleled anti-slip. Not only does it give the highest anti-slip in its class, it also maintains its performance as it resists the slippery algae growth. It’s the safer decking solution. Stain resistant decking?
Once again the lastane finish ensures that drink and food spillages do not soak into the surface, they just wipe off leaving it clean without stain
marks. Now your clients can enjoy outdoor living without the maintenance or hassle worry. Millboard is made from a blended polyurethane and mineral base. In production, it is bonded with a hybrid polymer ‘lastane’ top layer. These advanced unique materials ensure that you have unpresidential combined benefits to ensure enjoyment, safer, and worry free decking for years to come.
