Mezzanine Flooring

Definition

Mezzanine flooring is defined as a free-standing warehouse structure usually made from steel, aluminium, or fibreglass. It acts as an intermediate floor between the base and ceiling of a building. The purpose of its design is to cover one specific area of a building or warehouse rather than the entire floor space. They will typically be halfway up the wall of a building and don’t count as a floor in a building.

Benefits of a Mezzanine Floor

A mezzanine floor maximises your available vertical space, allowing . They create space both above and below the flooring installation. The mezzanine floor can be built free of any existing structures and a building or warehouse can have more than one mezzanine. This is as long it’s total floor space is less than a third of the total floor space of a building.

Creating more space without moving workplaces allows you to avoid paying expensive moving fees. By optimising your existing space, you also avoid losing money by having to plan downtime. Installing a mezzanine floor makes your workplace more energy-efficient as it increases warm air circulation, which will lower the heating costs over winter too.

Multi-tier Mezzanine

You can also install a single-tier or multi-tier mezzanine flooring. A multi-tier mezzanine structure is a multi-level system that can act as a workspace or storage space. You can also install multi-tier staircases and loading areas with pallet gates, making it easier to distribute a product onto a rack-supported shelving system. You also have the option of goods lifts, conveyor rollers, and chutes. This is why mezzanine flooring makes storage and picking items simpler.

The right option for you will depend on your design choices, industry requirements, and space available. This is something our team at Guangzhou Puyu Import and Export Co., Ltd. can help you with.
