CM TRUCK BEDS ANNOUNCES NEW FLOORING OPTIONS
CM Truck Beds announces its new flooring options available on truck bed models. CM realizes that flooring options are important to commercial customers looking to use its products. That’s why it has added those quality options to its line of tough body haulers.
Now, CM Truck Beds’ customers will have the option to finish their truck bodies with two-inch Pine Flooring, Blackwood, or Rumber Wood. What’s the difference between these options?
Two-inch Pine Flooring provides a durable, yet easy to replace decking option. This flooring option provides stability while still maintaining an entry-level price point.
Furthermore, this flooring option allows users to nail down blocks for better load severity.
CM Truck Beds’ Blackwood flooring option is a wooden lumber product with a rubber inset that is infused throughout the board. This feature will improve the traction over typical lumber. The Blackwood flooring option presents customers with a product that is beneficial and long lasting for all their hauling jobs. With the tactile surface of Blackwood, the cargo you are hauling is less likely to shift while towing.
The Rumber Wood option provides the same quality, as well as great environmental features. It not only is environmentally friendly, it’s also stronger than other composites and impervious to fluids, mud, oil, and UV rays. Rumber Wood will not crack, rot, or split, and has a traction surface that increases safety. CM Truck Beds’ new Rumber Wood boards can be cut with a saw and are easily installed and easy to clean.
