Mezzanine Flooring in Leicester
How do you make your warehouse earn you money without increasing its size?What is a mezzanine floor?
Mezzanine floors in Leicester are freestanding steel floors that sit above your existing warehouse floor. They increase the usable space within your warehouse because you can use the floor of the mezzanine and the floorspace below it.
Mezzanines are versatile. You could use yours for storage. Or you could use it for production, training, IT suites or server rooms, training spaces, offices and more.
Will I be able to install a mezzanine in my Leicester warehouse?
If your warehouse is at least 5.5m in height, usually. You’ll also need 2m minimum headroom clearance for each stairway. In warehouses with more height, you could install multiple mezzanine levels, ensuring you make maximum use of the building’s space and giving you even more bang for each buck spent on buying or renting your premises.
Benefits of mezzanine flooring in Leicester
You’re paying for all the space in your warehouse. Unless all that space is productive, you’re wasting money. Adding mezzanine floors to your Leicester warehouse makes it easy to ensure every m2 of space earns its keep. Other benefits include:

I rent my warehouse – will my landlord let me install a mezzanine?
Often, yes. Landlords love mezzanines because they add to the value of the building, so if you ever move out, they’ll be left with a property that’s worth more than when you took it on. Before you start, check your lease agreement for any requirements to inform or get permission from your landlord.
