As approved UK distributors for Millboard and Exterpark™ decking, Exterior Solutions Ltd supplies commercial and residential projects across the UK.
Quality decking is a desirable way to make the most of outside spaces. It provides a natural extension to any property, drawing people outside into the fresh air. The deck offers space to relax, socialise, play or cook up a storm.
Exterior Solutions Ltd is a trusted hardwood and composite decking supplier for private residences and commercial buildings. We provide architects, builders and landscape gardeners with decking advice, to aid selection of the right product for the job.
Screwless Decking Installation
The Exterpark Magnet™ system is an innovative and screwless decking system with an advanced mechanical locking system. It uses a strong plastic clip which grips the deck onto the joists without the use of screws.
The lack of screws delivers a beautiful finish and there are practical advantages too. Using Magnet™ tool, it is possible to open or close single boards in seconds. This allows full access to the surface below the deck and, if necessary, individual deck boards can be replaced with ease.
The Magnet™ system comprises 6 elements:
- A special groove underneath each board to attach the clips
- Aluminium joists for the Magnet™ Clip to click inside
- Spacers between boards to leave an invisible4mm expansion and drainage gap
- Blocking units to keep all boards in place and prevent longitudinal movement
- Levelling instruments such as pedestals and wedges
- The Magnet™ Clip

Exterpark Hardwood Decking
This premium hardwood decking has the look and finish of indoor wood flooring. Smooth surfaces, bevelled edges and no gaps create an unrivalled visual effect which makes Exterpark™ the definitive option for outdoor spaces. Use it to create a seamless flow between interior and exterior spaces.
For a sleek finish, these deck boards can be installed using a patented fastening system. This invisible fixing is stronger than screws, allows planks to be installed without gaps, but with space for water egress. This delivers stunning results, which will encourage you to make the most of outdoor spaces.
Exterior Solutions can advise on fixings and installation. Annual maintenance is recommended to reinvigorate your hardwood decking and to maximise its lifespan. Our online shop provides quality oils and treatments that keep your deck looking stunning for years.
Millboard Composite Decking
If you want the appearance of hardwood decking, but without the maintenance, Millboard composite decking is the ideal solution. The grain-effect boards have a similar appearance to hardwood and are suitable for domestic and commercial use.
The low slip, non-porous surface repels algae, is rot resistant and will not warp or splinter. Millboard composite decking will not weather like hardwood, so the selected colour will not fade or change over time. The need for annual treatment with oils and preservatives is removed, making this an ideal solution for enhancing outdoor spaces.
As well as enhancing gardens and public parks, Millboard decking has been installed on roof terraces, hotel sundecks and verandas. As it is not affected by changes in moisture and humidity, it can be used around lidos and hot tubs, as well as on marinas and promenades.
