Exterpark Hardwood Decking brings the inside out
Exterpark brand decking is the first “exterior wooden floor” with the looks and comfort of an indoor hardwood floor.
FSC ® certified deck boards with a worldwide patented fastening system guarantee the quality and exclusivity of this unique exterior wooden floor. Exterpark is the only hardwood decking with an invisible fixing profile making it the specifiers choice and an industry leader. It is available in either Plus or Magnet profiles, giving you choice in the finished look.
Exterpark hardwood decking embraces wood as it is, one of the warmest natural materials with unique and incomparable features. Texture, colour, shades, patterns and grain, beauty and functionality come together to create spaces which are a statement of pure exclusivity. The warmth of excellently manufactured wood on bare feet is an exceptional feeling. Smooth surfaces, bevelled edges and no gaps create an unrivalled visual effect which make Exterpark the definite option for outdoor spaces.
A cornerstone of the Exterpark exclusive hidden and invisible fastening system with a stainless steel profile which has the function of the classic dovetail joint by inserting its wings into the lateral grooves of the wooden slats. These are then fixed to the joists with the PM Clip both fixes the hardwood flooring in place and maintains a perfectly gauged separation between slats to allow water to escape. The all new innovative Magnet fixing is also available.
What is the Exterpark Magnet system?
The Exterpark Magnet system is an innovative and screwless decking system with an advanced mechanical locking system holding boards stronger than a screw but yet flexible. It uses a strong plastic clip which is used to install the deck onto the joists without the use of screws, meaning that using a magnet tool you can open or close any board at any time in seconds if necessary – meaning full access to the surface below the deck.
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 invisible 4mm 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
The Magnet Clip is the cornerstone of the system, made from POM, a high performance engineering thermoplastic, which gives strength with flexibility. It enables the deck to be installed without screws making it easy, fast with no pre-drilling and quiet without the need for lots of tools. This makes it arguably the best decking system in the world.

Millboard Composite Decking captures the charm of real wood
Millboard decking is quality composite decking supplied by Exterior Decking.
It captures the charm of real wood but eliminates its shortcomings for outdoor environments. There are no other similar products to compare this unique product; “it’s not Plastic, it’s Millboard”.
We have been supplying Millboard decking products since the beginning and we believe no other company provides the same service that we do. We can recommend installation methods and time saving techniques.
Millboard composite decking boards are replicas of prime oak samples. They are manufactured from polyurethane with up to 50% recycled fillers. The boards are then hand coloured to perfectly reproduce the detail of natural wood with minimal repetition and it retains an exceptionally stable surface with a stunning appearance throughout its entire lifetime. It has a similar surface hardness to hardwood and its low slip, non-porous surface that repels algae, never rots, warps or gives splinters, it is ideally suited for domestic and commercial use.
Millboard decking retains an exceptionally stable surface with a stunning appearance throughout its long lifetime. Millboard is the specifiers choice for composite decking, commercial, roof terraces, boardwalks, marina decking, sundecks, veranda’s and garden terraces.
