Waverley NSW Duplex Design by Futureflip
We have an exciting Millboard collaboration to share thanks to the design and build experts at Futureflip. Take a closer look at this stunning project consisting of two fully detached dwellings in Waverley, Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. Featuring high-end finishes throughout complete with pools, fireplaces, and smart-home automation. Each of these homes achieved record sale prices for the area.
All materials were carefully selected including the Millboard Limed Oak decking which was used for the front steps and back decks on both dwellings. Millboard was selected because the boards are long-lasting, durable, and made from recycled materials. They also fit with the very low maintenance requirements of the rest of the house.

From an old boarding house to two incredible detached homes which were designed, DA-approved, then constructed all in under 18 months! Futureflip wanted to create a minimalist, sophisticated look and no expense was spared in the selection of the materials.
All joinery is real timber veneer, with American Oak on the White House and Blackbutt on the Black House. All the Miele appliances installed were top-of-the-range. Velux skylights were installed to ensure there was ample natural light throughout the house. Knotwood screening was used to provide shade and privacy as well as being recyclable and very low maintenance. James Hardie Axon cladding was chosen for its durability and great sound rating in an urban environment. For the backyard pre-cast Plungie pools were chosen for the soft sand site meaning less risk during construction.
Smart-home automation technology by Clipsal Wiser was also incorporated into both homes including electric skylights which can be controlled remotely and allows for the release of the hot air at the top of the building.
These stunning homes were completed to the highest standard, each with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, pools, and ocean views. Listed with Ray White TRG (The Rubinstein Group) they were sold within 2 weeks for a record-breaking $6.25m each!

Millboard composite decking is hand-made in the United Kingdom & styled from real oak timbers, creating an incredibly realistic look that captures the natural beauty of wood. But unlike traditional timber – which needs regular ongoing maintenance like oiling & sanding to try and stave off rotting, mould, stains, warping, cupping, fading, splinters & a host of other undesirable effects – Millboard is completely different!
This is because unlike traditional timber, or even conventional composite decking WPC (which typically contains half-timber fibre/flours/rice husks & half plastic) – Millboard contains no timber, nor any plastic.
Millboard composite decking is made from a revolutionary Polyurethane resin, reinforced with mineral fibres plus a unique Lastane® coating. So what is Polyurethane then? It’s a type of elastomer, which is a polymer about halfway between a plastic and a rubber. It maintains the rigidity & longevity of plastic, with the suppleness of rubber. This means Millboard feels much more natural underfoot, while still offering incredible durability.
