Mezzanine Flooring
Installing a mezzanine floor in your Sheffield warehouse could help you increase the amount of usable floorspace in your business without the need for expensive building extensions or the hassle of moving premises.What is a mezzanine floor?
Mezzanine floors ‘float’ above the floor of your warehouse. Freestanding and constructed in steel, they create additional space that you can use in a wide variety of ways. To add a mezzanine, you’ll need a total warehouse height of 5.5m and 2m minimum headroom clearance for any stairwell. Where you have lots of height to play with you could install a multi-level mezzanine and make even greater use of the space.
Why add a mezzanine to your Sheffield warehouse?
In most warehouses, the useable space is the footprint of the building. A 50m x 50m warehouse has 250 square metres of usable space. Once you’ve used that, your only options are to extend the warehouse or move to larger premises, both of which can be expensive and extremely time-consuming.
Add mezzanine flooring to your Sheffield warehouse, though, and you can significantly increase the usable space within your warehouse without the cost and complexity of alternatives. Then you can start using that new space to drive greater profit.
What can I use my Sheffield mezzanine for?
Sheffield mezzanine floors are brilliantly versatile, with applications including:
- Additional storage space
- Increased production space
- Extra office space
- Training rooms
- Pallet gates to existing floors
- Additional staircases

Will installing a mezzanine floor in my Sheffield warehouse change my business rates?
Not if you’re planning on using your Sheffield mezzanine floor for storage or general warehousing. If part of the mezzanine will be used for offices, or as production/training areas, there may be an effect. Ask us about this.
Will installing a mezzanine in my Sheffield business increase the property’s value?
Usually, yes. It does depend on the size of the mezzanine and market conditions but installing Sheffield mezzanine flooring does typically add value to your premises. That’s good news if you own the building. But it’s good news if you rent too, because it could make getting permission for the work easier and/or help your next lease negotiations with your landlord.
