Mezzanine Flooring

How does mezzanine flooring in the North West increase your turnover?

The more your warehouse can store, the more it can sell. Yet once your warehouse is at (or close to) capacity, its earning power can actually reduce, because navigation, picking and loading all take longer in a crowded space.

Mezzanine flooring creates additional space by adding a freestanding steel platform to your warehouse that ‘floats’ above the existing warehouse floor. As support columns are minimised, a mezzanine floor in your North West warehouse enables you to use the space on and below it, creating much more usable space.

What can I use a North West mezzanine for?

It’s not just storage. You could use mezzanine flooring in your North West warehouse as a production, packing or fulfilment area. It could become a new showroom. Or you could turn a mezzanine floor into an office or training suite.

Is a North West mezzanine floor better than extending?

It’s almost certainly simpler, cheaper and takes far less time – a mezzanine can be completed in just a few days, so it doesn’t impact day-to-day work as much as major building alterations will.

Additionally, as you don’t need planning permission for a mezzanine, there’s no risk your plans will be refused. And as the mezzanine floor sits within the existing building, you don’t need lots of land around your existing premises to make it happen.

Does my North West mezzanine need Building Regs approval or fire rating?

Your mezzanine will need to comply with Building Regs but, as installation specialists, we’ll help make sure that’s a formality.

Fire ratings are required for mezzanine floors above a certain size, or which are used for certain functions (for example, if you place permanently occupied offices on your mezzanine).

We’ll help you understand what regulations you’ll need to comply with as part of the planning process. Talk to us about your installation now.
