Cornerstone Decking
The Low-Friction Solution for Big & Bulky Storage
Optimize your workflow with high-performance industrial pallet rack shelving.
Moving heavy, bulky items shouldn’t be a struggle. Traditional shelving surfaces like plywood or wire often create unnecessary friction, leading to physical strain for workers and slower fulfillment times. Industrial pallet rack shelving requires a surface that is as tough as the rack itself, yet smooth enough to facilitate movement.
Introducing Cornerstone Decking—the engineered shelving solution powered by ResinDek® technology. Specifically designed for warehouses that handle large, heavy, and awkward items, Cornerstone Decking transforms your racks into high-efficiency pick zones.
The Science of the Slide: Friction Coefficients
Standard bulk storage rack wire decking and raw plywood are high-friction surfaces. They “catch” the bottom of corrugated boxes and plastic bins, requiring significant “breakaway force” just to initiate movement.
The "Glide" Benefit
Reduced Worker Fatigue: Cornerstone Decking features a proprietary Gray Diamond Seal® 2 finish that reduces the friction coefficient. This allows workers to slide big and bulky heavy boxes with up to 40% less effort compared to raw wood or wire, directly improving picking speed and ensuring long-term ergonomic safety.
Fully Customizable ResinDek® Shelving System
Manufactured by Cornerstone Specialty Wood Products, this system redefines pallet rack organization. We help you maximize storage capacity without sacrificing valuable floor space. The **hardware-free installation** allows for rapid reconfiguration as your inventory changes.
Custom Machining
Designed for shelf heights from 6″ to 20″ and depths from 8″ to 60″. Precision notches can accommodate step beam heights for a flush finish.
Divider Flexibility
Vertical warehouse shelf dividers can be spaced from 4″ to 48″ on center and moved without tools or hardware.
Need a lighter application? We also provide high-quality Particle Board, MDF, Melamine, and Plywood for lighter warehouse pallet rack shelving needs.
A Durable Alternative to Standard Plywood
While many operations default to a standard plywood version, Cornerstone Decking offers a superior ROI through its moisture-resistant core and high-density fiberboard construction.
- Proven Load Capacity: Southern Yellow Pine lumber supports are SPIB-standard stamped and tested to handle up to 800 lbs each (spans 48″ or less).
- Moisture Resistance: Proprietary blends of medium and high-density fiberboard ensure the panels stay flat and true, unlike plywood which is prone to warping and splintering.
- Independently Evaluated: Received Seizmic’s S Mark and evaluated by IAPMO Uniform Evaluation Services (ER number 467) for full IBC compliance in Types I-V Building construction.
