Is your garden in need of a makeover?  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Flooring is arguably one of the most important aspects of a garden, as it\u2019s what makes the space so sociable \u2013 think warm summer evenings of cocktails on the terrace, barbeques on the patio or evening dinners on the decking. 
 
Outdoor flooring is the best way to transform your space and add the \u2018wow\u2019, but with a myriad of flooring materials, colours and styles on the market, it can sometimes be difficult to know what to choose. To help you decide, we put the four main categories of outdoor flooring head-to-head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019d like to add a warm, natural look to your garden, wood and wood-look decking is an ideal option. It\u2019s traditional too, so will always be on-trend. 
 
Whilst traditional wood is a great decking option initially, thanks to the often cheap outlay particularly true of the many softwoods on the market, the slippery nature of algae growth and wet weather, as well as continually painting and staining it soon outweighs the lower cost, not forgetting the huge health and safety risk of slips and falls. Welcome then, to Millboard decking\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millboard <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Millboard decking is famed for its unrivalled good looks, offering the same, if not better visuals than traditional timber. The beauty of Millboard decking is that, due to its wood-free composition, it looks great with relatively little maintenance \u2013 perfect for busy families or those who would rather spend their time enjoying their outdoor space! 
 
The various colours in the range mean you can go for something traditional \u2013 such as Enhanced Grain Golden Oak or Weathered Oak Vintage, or something more contemporary and modern, such as Enhanced Grain Burnt Cedar or Brushed Basalt. The Lastane top layer also not only provides a slip resistant finish, but it\u2019s also quieter and softer to walk on, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural stone <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Natural stone offers a variety of colours, textures and sizes that can suit many schemes whilst also being relatively inexpensive to purchase. Just be mindful of slip resistance, as some stone can become quite slippy in the wet. 
 
Natural stone also requires regular sealing. Without sealing, the stone can deteriorate and also change colour. 
 
For example, over time, it may begin to feature white dots on its surface \u2013 the result of calcium deposits in the stone reacting with water and air to produce an unsightly white \u2018bloom\u2019, this is added to the lichens that may start to cling to the stone \u2013 not ideal if you have meticulously colour-matched your natural stone to other elements within your garden or home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
