Utilising Mezzanine Floors In Your Office Space
Running out of space in your office can put you in a difficult position. How do you deal with it? Move premises to a bigger space? Rearrange the furniture to try and make extra space or have a big clearout? Moving offices can be expensive, and rearranging or clearing out takes time that your business might not be able to afford. In this case, a mezzanine floor is the best solution.
Mezzanine floors make use of the vertical space that is left, more often than not, unused. With bespoke design, they can be installed to match the branding within your office and the look and feel. And they are versatile spaces that can be used as breakout spaces, storage rooms, additional office space or communal areas.
At Jade Aden Interiors, we are the UK’s leading manufacturer of office mezzanine floors. With over 20 years of experience in the interior design industry and providing extra space through mezzanine floors, we have seen the many ways an office can benefit from this solution.
In this blog, we share some ways to utilise the vertical space in your office with a mezzanine floor.
Extra Workspace
One common problem in an office is the team grows, but space doesn’t. Therefore, you start cramming desks where they might not work just to be able to provide somewhere for your new hires to work. But this can often hinder productivity.
Installing a mezzanine floor enables you to expand your floor space without having to uphaul your entire office to new premises.
This additional flooring space can be designed specifically for use as extra working space, meaning we can put the appropriate flooring down, as well as easy design access so that staff can move between levels to collaborate and socialise.
Additionally, if you want to use the space to create separate departments or private spaces, we can install glass partitioning or demountable partitions to divide space without making it feel small.
Storage Space
Offices can be filled with equipment, paperwork and belongings. Finding somewhere to store everything can be difficult as you don’t want to use up precious floor and desk space.
Mezzanine floors provide valuable storage space, removing the equipment, paperwork and various filing cabinets away from the general workspace.
This not only frees up space, making it feel less cluttered, but can also increase productivity thanks to the space they now have – the phrase “a tidy desk equals a tidy mind” can also be applied to the overall feel of the office.
A bigger storage space also enables you to organise everything you are storing, making it easier to find when you need it.
Separate Communal and Relaxing Space
Employees need to have a separate social space where they can go to take a break and recharge before heading back to work.
The more distinctive the communal, socialising areas are from the workplace, the more beneficial they can be as staff members truly feel they have had a break.
Mezzanine floors often make the ideal social space because they are so separate. The space enables staff to relax and take a break without disrupting those still working.
Additionally, these floors can be designed to reflect their usage as breakout spaces for relaxing or more informal meetings. For example, we can install kitchen spaces for staff to prepare tea, coffee, and lunch.
You will likely find that employee morale is boosted because they have the space to socialise and are more focused and productive when sitting at their desks.
Separate Meeting Spaces
If you are a client-facing business and often have clients visit your office space, it is important to meet in an area that offers more privacy.
A mezzanine floor can be the ideal meeting space using partitioning and carefully curated furnishing and technology.
Not only do these provide privacy for your meeting, but by separating it from the general workspace, you also create a quieter environment for a more productive meeting.
Versatile and Beneficial Spaces
Mezzanine floors in an office are invaluable spaces as they are versatile, allowing you to use them in a way that best suits your needs, whether as extra workspace, a communal space, storage space or a meeting area.
With their quick installation, they are easier than moving to a new premise and offer more benefits than a new office would.
