Mezzanine Flooring: Your Questions Answered

September 23, 2024

Mezzanine flooring provides you with a permanent additional level between two floors of your building, creating valuable extra floor space. This offers a valuable solution for commercial properties that are short on space, and provides a great alternative to moving premises to acquire more space, not to mention at a much lower cost. If you’re considering mezzanine floor installation, read on to gain a better understanding of how mezzanine flooring can revolutionise your commercial space.

What are mezzanine floors used for?

Mezzanine floors are a dynamic and creative way to make use of wasted vertical space without compromising the floor above or below. Mezzanine floors are used to increase office or meeting room space, add a kitchenette or extra toilet facilities into a workplace, improve storage space in warehouse facilities, and much more.

What is the load-baring capacity of a mezzanine floor?

Your mezzanine floors will be designed entirely to suit your requirements, including the materials used in the build; different building materials will come with different load-baring capacities. Every possible step will be taken to ensure your custom design has a suitable load-baring capacity to meet your specific needs and fulfil your mezzanine floor’s intended use, within the limits of health and safety and the size of your space.

What restrictions exist on mezzanine floor design?

Within health and safety bounds, there are no restrictions on the size, shape, or height of your mezzanine floor. You are at liberty to get creative with your mezzanine floor and introduce the personality of your business into the design. Whatever your commercial space requires, the only limit is your imagination.

What steps are taken to ensure fire safety?

An official inspection of your space will be carried out to ensure the proposed installation meets all necessary fire safety requirements. A final certificate will be issued once an inspection has been completed. To ensure your property adheres to the relevant guidelines, your property may require a fire hood during the construction of your mezzanine floor, as well as the installation of a smoke detector above and below the mezzanine floor.
