Wire mesh decking is taking over from wood particle board decking in storage shelving systems all across America! Why? Because fire marshals and insurance companies are demanding it!
Even if it wasn’t mandatory, we’d still recommend wire mesh decking for pallet racks. This type of decking boosts safety and saves you money in the long run.
Our flat wire mesh decking works with all brands of boltless shelving, which happens to be the most cost-effective option out there. Wire mesh decking has been replacing particle board throughout the warehouse industry as a budget-friendly alternative.
The biggest perk of wire mesh decking compared to wood is definitely safety. Steel boltless shelving with wire mesh is non-flammable, and its open design lets sprinklers reach boxes during a fire.
Wood particle boards can deteriorate over time, leading to serious safety risks. They’re not just highly flammable; they can rot and cause accidents or even partial collapses. Plus, they get pricey when you need to replace them.
Flat pallet racking with wire decking is way cleaner than solid wood decks too! Don’t forget about the maintenance that comes with particle board – it breaks down over time and needs replacing. Moisture can build up inside the wood, causing flaking and chipping."
Features and Benefits of Wire Decking:
• Just like particle board decks, flat rack wire mesh decking simply drops right into boltless shelving. It’s held up by the corner posts and beams of the storage shelving system.
• It's stronger, more durable, and lasts longer than wood decking.
• It’s self-cleaning since dirt and dust don’t accumulate on the storage shelf.
• It provides better product visibility because light can pass through the wire mesh. This makes inventory control easier. Plus, it’s non-flammable, recommended by fire marshals, and can even help lower your insurance rates."
