Mezzanine flooring is an intermediate floor between the main floors of a building and is not typically considered among the total number of floors. A mezzanine floor has a low ceiling and projects in the form of a balcony to make for additional space and storage. 

What is mezzanine flooring used for?

The most common use for mezzanine flooring is extra storage. Combining short and longspan shelving below and above the floor, a new space can be created to suit a range of purposes. 

Office mezzanines can be built using composite or steel partitions with glazing, retail stores might invest in mezzanine flooring to increase selling space, and warehouses typically use them to increase space for production, packing and sorting.

Mezzanine flooring applications

When it comes to industrial applications, mezzanine floor systems are semi-permanent floor systems typically installed within buildings. They are normally free standing structures and in most cases can be dismantled and relocated. 

Frequently used in industrial operations such as manufacturing, warehousing and distribution; they have high ceilings to ensure vacant vertical space is utilised. 

Industrial mezzanine structures are typically either structural, roll formed, rack supported or shelf supported to allow high density storage with the structure. 

How much does a mezzanine floor cost?

Before installing a mezzanine floor for commercial use, such as in a retail or warehouse environment, one of the most important things to consider is how much the project will cost.

A mezzanine floor is a highly cost effective way to increase floor space within your premises and is much less expensive than relocating to a larger facility. 

However, the budget requirements for a mezzanine flooring project will depend on a range of factors including the numbers of levels required, size of each mezzanine level, strength and condition of the existing base, intended usage of the floor and load requirements, and more.

Due to the many variables that influence the cost of mezzanine flooring installation, it is essential to have a site survey or consultation carried out to ensure accurate pricing.
