Is any product truly maintenance free in our harsh sun? I have seen these fake boards fade in the sun, and wonder how on earth they can be refinished.

I would be extra careful of a product made in UK, which may not be designed for our climate.

Thanks, and yes, it's certainly expensive, and good point about a British made product that may not withstand our weather.

Thanks for the comments and questions folk. For the record the only maintenance needed on Millboard is the occasional wash down with the hose or if drinks/food/sauce etc has been spilt and left to dry it may need warm soapy water and a scrub with a stiff brush.

Regarding the Aussie climate the product was tested in AUS from 2009 until 2012 before any was sold here. As it proved very stable and fade resistant in the harsh climate it was released and been sold in AUS since.

Hope this helps, please post and more questions.

Helpful to learn of rigorous testing of Millboard, Concept Products. Thank you for providing that information.
