What is the difference between StableWall and StableDeck?

StableWall and StableWall+ are used in cargo trailer walls and ceilings where durability, appearance, flatness and weight are considerations. StableDeck and StableDeck+ are ¾” panels designed to excel in cargo floor applications where specific point load weight causes inferior panels to fail.

Why is it necessary for Stable panels to be sanded?

The lighter the panel color within a cargo trailer, the brighter the inside of the trailer. Sanding brightens the panel face and provides a surface that is consistent in color and more visually appealing than alternative panels. In addition, where thickness tolerance is a concern, the Stable ESP product line can be sanded to a level of precision that exceeds that of other wood panels such as plywood.
