A mezzanine floor is a fantastic way to optimise your warehouse, office, production or storage space, turning unused vertical headroom into a business asset and allowing you to expand your operations – at a fraction of the cost associated with building or renting a new unit.
More Than Just an Extra Floor
But it’s not just a case of throwing up some supports, installing particle-board decking and calling it a day. To make sure your new space works for you - and actively enhances the efficiency of your day-to-day operations - you’ll need a mezzanine floor that’s tailored to your needs.
Designing Bespoke Mezzanine Floors
Everything from the size and maximum load weight of your new structure right through to the placement of individual support columns, your choice of flooring, the number of pallet gates, staircases and the type of edge protection installed on your new mezzanine needs to be considered against the backdrop of:
- Your current processes
- The way you want to use your new space (storage, office space, product display)
- Your capacity for additional maintenance work
- Any relevant building regulations
To really enhance your business, a mezzanine floor will also need to accommodate any special requirements, like the need to access your new storage space using forklifts or pallet trucks.
