Warehouse Mezzanine

Mezzanine flooring refers to the level between two main floors and is usually not included in the overall floor count. The word mezzanine comes from the Italian word ‘’mezzo’’, meaning ‘’middle’’ and was traditionally used to describe the lowest balcony of a theatre.

Today, mezzanine floors are installed to maximise unused vertical space, providing additional room both above and below the space it sits in. Our mezzanine floors, whether single-tier or multi-tier, are semi-permanent and can be built free of existing structures. While popular in industrial settings, there are a variety of different flooring types that can be utilised for a number of applications.

Whether it’s for storage, work operations, equipment or inventory rack access, our high-quality mezzanine floor designs are made bespoke to your environment – and built to last.

A warehouse mezzanine floor is a raised platform that can be installed within a warehouse or industrial space to create additional floor space. Mezzanine floors can be used to increase storage capacity, provide additional workspace or serve as a platform for production or manufacturing equipment and are used in other sectors, including retail spaces and offices.

In general, if the mezzanine floor is being added to an existing residential property and will not exceed a certain size, it may not require planning permission. However, if the mezzanine is being added to a commercial property, or if it exceeds a certain size, planning permission may be necessary.

In most cases, you won’t need planning permission for mezzanine floors as they are a fully demountable structure, but we always recommend checking with the relevant authorities first.

Mezzanine binning or racking in the warehouse offers several advantages, including increased storage space, improved organisation and enhanced workflow. By adding a mezzanine level, you can effectively double your storage capacity without the need for costly building expansions or relocations.

The mezzanine level can be designed to accommodate a range of storage solutions, including shelving, racking and binning systems, which can improve organisation and inventory management. Furthermore, you can benefit from easy access to stored items and reduce the time and effort needed to locate and retrieve goods.

The number of stairs required for a mezzanine depends on several factors, including the height of the mezzanine, the local building codes and the intended use of the space. In general, most building codes require at least one set of stairs for access to a mezzanine, and the stairs must meet certain safety requirements, such as minimum width and height of the steps, handrails and lighting.

The thickness of a mezzanine floor can vary depending on the load capacity and intended use of the space. Generally, mezzanine floors can range from 2-6 inches in thickness. However, thicker floors may be required for heavy-duty applications or to comply with building codes and regulations.

The main difference between a mezzanine and a second floor is that a mezzanine is a partial level that doesn't have its own walls, floors or roof and is typically used to enhance the usable space of an existing floor, whilst a second floor is a complete additional level that requires a full construction process to create.
