Double The Floor Space In Your Warehouse
Double The Floor Space In Your Warehouse
A mezzanine floor is a semi-permanent, free-standing structure installed within an existing space, often used to enhance warehouse capacity. Unlike conventional floors—which are permanent fixtures in a building's infrastructure and often subject to tighter regulations—mezzanines provide an innovative, budget-friendly solution for additional office or storage space. Their naturally flexible design allows for easy reconfiguration and relocation, making them a smart choice in warehouses, factories, and offices.
Mezzanine flooring is important for maximising often overlooked vertical space, adding an intermediate level to your premises, and effectively doubling your usable area. This feature benefits industrial businesses seeking easy space expansion without major construction. This minimally disruptive solution adapts to your evolving business needs, providing extra storage, enhancing operations, and boosting workspace value. Our mezzanine floors foster growth, integrate various aspects of your business, and improve productivity without the need to move premises.
Yes, our mezzanine flooring is robust. At Unistor, our mezzanine floors are tailored to your load requirements, ensuring optimum safety and strength. Understanding your requirements helps us select the right materials, as not all options have the same weight threshold. With thirty years of experience and a 5-year workmanship guarantee, we assure high-quality and durability — maximising warehouse functionality by utilising unused overhead spaces. Choose our mezzanine floors for a reliable industrial storage solution, based on your specific needs.
Mezzanine floors offer a wide range of perks, so the disadvantages are far and few between. They do, however, require planning around light and ventilation. Installing white underside flooring like Unistor’s Unilin—Mezzanine Deluxe can enhance light reflection, reducing energy costs and environmental impact. Our Meiser Press Lock Grating improves air circulation, reducing the need for mechanical ventilation, lowering energy consumption and providing a healthier environment. Always weigh these factors against your present and future space requirements before installing a mezzanine floor. For assistance, speak with our trusted team today.
Despite their durable design and Work Health & Safety compliance, mezzanine structures can still pose safety risks. Falls and dropped goods are a key concern, with protective measures like lanyards, harnesses, guardrails, and netting being crucial. Employee training for proper equipment usage and safety protocols can mitigate these risks. Accessibility issues and clutter can lead to accidents, so maintaining clean, easily navigable spaces is important. Lastly, untrained personnel should have limited access to ensure safety in mezzanine floor environments.
The best material for a mezzanine floor depends on its intended use. For enhancing warehouse space, high-strength steel is often chosen for its durability and strength, making it ideal for additional storage space. In warehouse and office spaces, concrete is preferred due to its versatile design options and acoustic properties. However, every mezzanine floor construction is unique, so get in touch with the team at Unistor to find a mezzanine solution that meets your requirements.
When it comes to determining the thickness of a mezzanine floor, several factors come into play. The chosen structure material — wood, metal, or composite, will influence the floor thickness, which typically ranges from 15-30 cm. Additionally, you need to ensure a minimum total height of 4.2m, with 1.9m of space above the mezzanine floor and 2m of space below. The weight-bearing capacity of existing structures also impacts thickness. To ensure optimal design, consult our professional mezzanine floor builders.
