  Tongue and Groove Customized Milling

  Tongue and groove milling is a popular technique used in decking and flooring applications. It involves creating a groove (slot) along one edge of the decking board and a corresponding tongue (protrusion) along the other edge. The tongue of one board fits snugly into the groove of the adjacent board, creating a tight, interlocking joint. Tongue and groove milling ensures a secure connection between the boards, minimizes movement and helps maintain a level surface. Check this video to get familiar with the process. 

• V-Joint Customized Milling

  V-joint milling is a technique used to create a V-shaped groove along the length of the decking boards. The V-joint creates a distinct shadow line between each board, adding visual interest and depth to the decking surface. This milling technique is often used in traditional or rustic decking designs. Learn more about it in this video. 

• Nickel Joint Customized Milling

  A nickel joint is a milling technique where a small, square-shaped groove is cut along the edges of the decking boards, with the groove being the size of a nickel. When two boards are installed side by side, the grooves interlock, creating a tight joint and hiding the fasteners. The result is a clean, seamless appearance without visible gaps between the boards.

• Rainscreen Customized Milling

  It is a method used to create a channel or groove on the backside of the decking boards. These channels allow for proper airflow and drainage between the decking surface and the underlying structure. Rain screen milling helps prevent moisture buildup, reduces the risk of rot or decay, and enhances the longevity of the decking material.

• Shiplap Customized Milling

  Shiplap milling involves creating a distinctive profile where the edges of the decking boards overlap with a rabbet joint. The rabbet joint creates a groove on one side and a corresponding ridge on the other side, allowing the boards to fit snugly together. Shiplap milling provides a tight, weather-resistant joint, adding a rustic or coastal charm to the decking.

Each of these milling techniques offers unique characteristics and visual effects, allowing you to achieve different styles and aesthetics for your decking project. It’s important to consider the specific requirements and design preferences when selecting the appropriate milling technique for your decking materials.
