Mezzanine Flooring
If space is getting tight in your Rugby warehouse, a mezzanine floor could giveWhat is a mezzanine floor?
Unlike the regular floors of a building, which are tied into the structure, mezzanine floors are freestanding steel platforms that ‘float’ above the existing floor. Accessed by stairs, adding a mezzanine to your Rugby warehouse increases usable space by enabling use of the floorspace above and below.
What can I use my mezzanine for?
Installing a mezzanine floor in your Rugby workplace is a great way to create versatile space, simply. Use it to extend the storage capacity of your warehouse. Increase storage space on the ground by moving admin, IT, training or management up to the mezzanine. Or use it to create a showroom or customer service area away from production/storage/fulfilment areas.
Is a mezzanine cheaper than extending?
Usually, yes. It’s also quicker and much less hassle. For starters, you don’t need planning permission, which an extension of any meaningful size probably will unless it is classified as ‘permitted development’.
How big can my mezzanine floor be?
Your only limit is the size of the warehouse in which your mezzanine will sit. Most Rugby mezzanine floors are between a third and half the size of the ground floor, but that’s not a requirement, just a convention. You will need at least 5.5m of height in your warehouse with 2m minimum headroom clearance for any stairway. Where you have lots of height to play with, you could install a multi-level mezzanine.
What are the benefits of mezzanine flooring in Rugby warehouses?
In addition to the versatility and low cost of a mezzanine floor in Rugby, there are lots more reasons to choose one…
- Ease congestion; increase efficiency: A warehouse that lacks space is an inefficient warehouse. It’s harder to navigate. Picking and placing takes more time. It may increase safety risks. Installing a mezzanine helps create space that makes every part of the warehouse safer and more efficient
- Customisability: You can tailor the design and layout of your mezzanine to suit your business needs
- Adaptability: If those needs change, it’s relatively easy to adapt your mezzanine
- Relocatable: If continued expansion means you eventually have no alternative but to move premises, you can disassemble and relocate your mezzanine to your new site, so your investment isn’t lost
- Quick installation: The only area of your warehouse that will be out of action during assembly will be the area directly below your Rugby mezzanine. And because installation is swift, it won’t be out of action for long
