Installed quickly and cost effectively, a mezzanine floor can prove to be a rational alternative to relocating your business or expanding your premises. Mezzanine Floors are typically designed as free-standing platforms and comprise cold rolled galvanised secondary floor beams bolted into the main universal beams, in turn supported by rolled hollow section steel columns. This structure is topped with a tough 38mm thick tongue and grooved particle board, although we can provide alternatives when required. APPLICATIONS: MEZZANINE FLOORS Storage purposes Installing a mezzanine floor is an ideal way to solve any storage issues that your company might have. Shelving and racking can be installed on the storage level, or it can just provide a new storage platform for palletised goods. Office accommodation By utilising the available headroom in your premises with a mezzanine floor, additional office space can quickly be created. This is a relatively cost effective solution, allowing a business to increase its headcount, under the same roof! PROJECTS Retail sales space A Mezzanine floor can be used to increase retail floor space. Our floors fit seamlessly into a retail space, and we have a huge selection of high quality decking, staircases and handrail options to choose from BuILDING REGuLATIONS We will make sure that your new mezzanine floor is designed in compliance with all the current Building Regulations, British Standards, and best practice guidelines.
