What can a mezzanine floor be used for?
The beauty of mezzanine floors is that they can be used in a variety of different ways. We outline the various applications of a mezzanine floor when used in the following settings.
By capitalising on the free airspace above your head, a mezzanine floor could create useful additional space in your commercial garage. Because our mezzanine floors are designed specifically to suit your space, we can create a solution that meets your exact needs.
Often considered one of the most sustainable ways to create more space, installing a mezzanine floor saves on construction, reduces harmful emissions, and preserves valuable resources.
Drastically increase the footprint and capabilities of your warehouse, without the cost and hassle of moving to new premises. Mezzanine floors are ideal for storing goods thanks to their flat surface, pallet gates, safety rails, and staircases.
Additionally, they are far more cost-effective than moving (or extending your current premises) and create a lot less downtime as well.
Mezzanine floors are an effective solution for retail units, as they create much-needed extra display space. Because mezzanine floors are so versatile, shops are free to utilise the additional space in a way that best suits the needs of their customers.
Ideas for use include display areas for specific products, a viewing platform, a place where customers can try out products, or even a café. Our mezzanine floors are designed and built specifically for your building, meaning they will fit the contours of even the most uniquely shaped space perfectly.
A mezzanine floor in your office could serve as storage space for files and equipment, or even be used as additional desk space to accommodate a growing team.
An office move can be costly and create a lot of disruption for your staff. Installing a mezzanine floor requires little to no downtime, while being significantly most cost-effective than moving premises.
The benefits of installing a mezzanine floor in your business premises

KEEP YOUR WORKFORCE HAPPY AND COMFORTABLE
A cramped, overflowing office may not create the best work environment for your staff. Valuable space created by a mezzanine floor could help you offer your team a more comfortable, better organised, spacious new work area.
Offices that are noisy and difficult to move around in are not conducive to a happy, motivated workforce. A mezzanine floor is a simple way to turn chaos into order, while providing your staff with a space that’s designed with their wellbeing in mind.
CREATE VALUABLE EXTRA SPACE
Mezzanine flooring makes use of wasted airspace above existing work areas, giving you room to accommodate a growing team, store files and stock, and take on additional work. As mezzanine floor specialists, we have perfected the design and installation of our mezzanine floors. This means you can enjoy additional space, with minimal cost and disruption to your business.
Everything you need to know about installing a mezzanine floor
We recommend that we visit your premises to carry out a site survey before any work takes place. This will allow us to assess the space and discuss your specific requirements.
During our site survey and initial discussion, we can explore all the options, including staircases, walkways, protected escape routes, or reducing the number of columns under your new mezzanine floors. With all of these details established, we’ll be perfectly placed to suggest the most efficient design… at the best possible price.
Mezzanine floors are fully demountable and the changes are all internal, so it’s very unlikely you’ll need planning permission to install one. However, you will most likely need approval from Building Control.
Yes, building regulation approval is required for all mezzanine flooring installations. Rest assured, our experts can provide calculations, designs, specifications and drawings to help support your application – we can even apply on your behalf!
We won’t charge for the preparation of drawings, calculations, or any other necessary specification, as long as you go ahead with your mezzanine floor installation. All we will pass on is the statutory fees charged by the Local Authority or Approved Building Inspector.
During any mezzanine flooring project, we recommend that clients consider fire protection, emergency lighting, smoke and fire alarms, and safety signage, in order to make their new structure as safe as possible for their staff and customers. We can offer advice on safety measures during our initial consultation.
