Mezzanine Flooring

How does mezzanine flooring in Nottingham increase your warehouse’s profits?

In any warehouse, space is the limiting factor. Once your racks are full, there’s nowhere else for goods to go but on the floor. That reduces your warehouse’s efficiency because picking and loading take longer. It’s harder to find goods (because you store them where there’s room, not where they should be). Worker safety becomes harder to guarantee.

For any warehouse that’s short on space, the simplest, quickest, lowest cost way of achieving it is with a mezzanine floor.

What is mezzanine flooring?

Add a mezzanine to your Nottingham premises and you add a freestanding steel platform that stands over the existing warehouse floor. As your mezzanine can be virtually any size (it’s only limited by the size of your warehouse) you can effectively ‘double up’ the floorspace below your mezzanine with an equal amount of space on it.

Is a mezzanine floor a better option than extending?

Here’s the problem with extending your warehouse: first, you need space to expand into. Then, you need to draw up plans and get planning permission. Then, you need to find a way to maintain productivity when the work is proceeding, and that work will take weeks at best.

A Nottingham mezzanine floor doesn’t need additional space because the installation is contained within the existing building. It doesn’t need planning permission. It will be completed in a few days, so disruption is kept to an absolute minimum. It’s cheaper too.

What can I use a mezzanine for?

The mezzanine flooring we install across Nottingham is being used for a huge range of functions.

It’s helping businesses extend their storage capacity. It’s enabling them to store products not suitable for racking elsewhere in the warehouse. It’s enabling them to take functions that once took up valuable space on the warehouse floor to the mezzanine. It’s creating new space for office suites, training areas, IT hubs, staff breakout areas or showrooms.

What are the requirements for a Nottingham mezzanine floor?

You’ll need at least 5.5m of height to play with where the mezzanine will sit, and 2m clearance where the stairwells will be. You will need to meet Building Regs and, depending on the size and purpose of the mezzanine, it may need to be fire rated.

We’ll be able to advise you about this. Talk to us about your installation now.
