Millboard & Cedar Cladding Installers

At Decking Gurus, we design and install premium Millboard and cedar cladding for homes, extensions, garden rooms, outdoor structures and commercial projects.

From the low-maintenance, timber-inspired appearance of Millboard to the natural grain and character of cedar, every installation is designed around the individual property, architecture and surrounding outdoor space.

As Approved Millboard Installers, we combine specialist product knowledge with careful preparation, precision installation and architectural detailing. From exterior façades and garden rooms to feature walls, ceilings and outdoor kitchens, we create bespoke cladding installations across London, Essex and the Home Counties, with larger projects considered further afield.

Premium Millboard Composite Cladding

Millboard cladding combines the appearance and texture of natural timber with the durability and reduced maintenance requirements of a premium composite material.

Its timber-inspired surfaces reproduce realistic grain, texture and natural character, making Millboard an attractive option for contemporary homes, extensions, garden rooms and outdoor living spaces.

Depending on the selected profile and finish, Millboard can create anything from warm, subtle architectural detailing to bold contemporary elevations with distinctive shadow lines.

It also works particularly well alongside brick, render, glazing, metalwork, stone, paving and decking, allowing the cladding to become part of a wider architectural design.

Millboard Envello Cladding

The Millboard Envello collection provides a choice of profiles and timber-inspired finishes suitable for residential, commercial and outdoor living projects.

Different profiles allow the cladding to respond to the architecture of the property. It can be used to emphasise height, visually widen an elevation, frame glazing, highlight entrances or introduce contrast between different areas of a building.

Cladding can cover complete elevations or be used selectively as an architectural feature, depending on the desired appearance.

Millboard Board & Batten+ Cladding

Millboard Envello Board & Batten+ creates a distinctive architectural appearance through alternating raised sections and recessed shadow lines.

It works particularly well on garden rooms, contemporary extensions, outdoor kitchens, feature elevations, entrances and bespoke outdoor structures where additional texture and depth are desired.

Board orientation, surrounding materials and architectural proportions are considered carefully so the finished cladding complements the building rather than appearing as an additional surface applied afterwards.

Millboard Shadow Line+ Cladding

Millboard Envello Shadow Line+ provides a cleaner, more linear contemporary appearance with defined recessed joints and strong architectural lines.

It can work particularly well alongside large areas of glazing, modern extensions, garden rooms and minimalist architecture.

Board direction can also influence the finished appearance. Vertical layouts can emphasise height, while horizontal arrangements can visually broaden an elevation.

We consider the dimensions of the building, windows, doors, rooflines and surrounding materials before establishing the final layout.

Cedar Timber Cladding

Alongside Millboard, we also design and install premium cedar timber cladding for clients who prefer the warmth, natural grain and individual character of real wood.

Cedar can work beautifully across homes, extensions, garden rooms, home offices, studios, outdoor kitchens, feature façades and bespoke outdoor structures.

Every board has its own natural grain and colour variation, giving cedar an authentic appearance that manufactured materials cannot exactly reproduce.

Depending on the architecture, cedar can be installed in vertical or horizontal layouts, with board spacing, corners, window and door reveals, fascias, soffits and transitions carefully considered.

Cedar can also be incorporated into slatted screens, feature walls and other architectural details, allowing natural timber to be repeated across different areas of an outdoor project.

As a natural material, cedar will gradually change in appearance when exposed to sunlight and weather. If left untreated, it can develop a natural silver-grey patina, while suitable treatments can help retain more of its original warm colour.

Millboard or Cedar Cladding – Which Is Right for Your Project?

Both materials can create outstanding architectural finishes, but they offer different characteristics.

Millboard cladding is well suited to clients looking for a realistic timber-inspired appearance with reduced ongoing decorative maintenance and a consistent architectural finish.

Cedar cladding provides the unmistakable grain, natural variation and evolving character of genuine timber.

The right choice depends on the property, desired appearance, maintenance expectations, surrounding materials and overall design.

Rather than applying the same material to every project, we help select the cladding that best complements the individual building and outdoor space.

Exterior Cladding for Homes & Extensions

Exterior cladding can significantly change the character of a property, which is why we approach it as an architectural finish rather than simply a wall covering.

Millboard and cedar cladding can be incorporated into house façades, extensions, garden-facing elevations, entrances, garages and other architectural features.

Cladding does not necessarily need to cover the entire property. Carefully positioned feature areas can introduce warmth, texture and contrast while maintaining the original character of the building.

For larger projects, complementary cladding can also be repeated across garden buildings and outdoor structures to create a consistent design throughout the property.

Garden Room & Garden Office Cladding

Both Millboard and cedar cladding can provide distinctive exterior finishes for garden rooms, home offices, studios, gyms and other garden buildings.

Because these structures are often clearly visible from the main house and terrace, their appearance can have a significant influence on the overall garden design.

Where we are involved with the wider project, the cladding can be considered alongside decking, glazing, roof details, pathways, lighting, planting and surrounding structures.

This helps the garden building feel like an intentional part of the landscape rather than a standalone structure placed at the end of the garden.

Interior & Feature Wall Cladding

Cladding can also be used to create distinctive interior and covered architectural features where the selected material and product specification are appropriate for the application.

Potential applications can include feature walls, media walls, TV walls, decorative ceilings, entrance areas and selected commercial interiors.

Texture becomes particularly effective when combined with carefully positioned lighting, which can highlight the depth and shadow created by the cladding profile.

Used selectively, cladding can turn an otherwise simple surface into a defining architectural feature.

Architectural Detailing & Precision Installation

A premium cladding installation depends just as much on the detailing as the visible material itself.

Before installation, we consider board orientation, starting positions, joints, corners, reveals, windows, doors, rooflines, fascias, soffits and transitions between materials.

Careful planning helps avoid awkward cuts and poorly positioned joints while allowing doors, windows and other architectural features to sit naturally within the finished layout.

Corners and junctions are particularly important. Where cladding meets brick, render, glazing, metalwork or another finish, the transition should appear intentional and carefully considered.

The objective is for the completed cladding to look designed around the building rather than simply fixed to it.

Ventilated Cladding Construction

The construction behind the visible boards plays an important role in the long-term performance of both Millboard and cedar cladding installations.

Depending on the building, selected material and project specification, the supporting construction can incorporate appropriate battens or subframes, ventilation cavities, membranes, separation details and suitable fixings.

Ventilation, drainage and moisture management are considered alongside openings, rooflines and other architectural interfaces.

Although much of this construction disappears once the cladding is complete, it remains an important part of a properly planned installation.

Cladding for Outdoor Kitchens & Structures

Millboard and cedar cladding can also form part of a wider bespoke outdoor living project.

Depending on the design, cladding can be incorporated into outdoor kitchens, BBQ areas, garden bars, pergola features, privacy screens, seating and other bespoke outdoor structures.

Colours, profiles and materials can be coordinated with surrounding decking, paving and architectural features to create a consistent relationship throughout the garden.

Where Millboard decking is also being installed, complementary Millboard cladding can be particularly effective for creating continuity between horizontal and vertical surfaces.

Commercial Cladding

We undertake suitable commercial Millboard and cedar cladding installations where architectural appearance, durability and careful detailing are important.

Applications can include offices, hospitality environments, restaurants, hotels, retail spaces, communal areas and other commercial developments.

Commercial projects may involve additional requirements relating to access, coordination with other trades, programme, technical specification and fire performance.

Where fire performance is relevant, the specific product and complete proposed cladding system must be assessed against the requirements of the individual building and applicable regulations.

Cladding Colours, Profiles & Finishes

The combination of material, colour, profile and board orientation can significantly influence the finished appearance of a building.

Millboard provides a range of timber-inspired colours and architectural profiles, while cedar offers natural grain and tonal variation that changes gradually as the timber ages.

When selecting a finish, we consider the surrounding brickwork, render, windows, doors, decking, paving, structures and planting rather than viewing the cladding in isolation.

Natural light also affects how textured surfaces appear, particularly between shaded and sun-facing elevations.

The aim is to select a cladding finish that complements both the architecture and wider outdoor environment.
