In industrial settings, mezzanines may be installed (rather than built as part of the structure) in high-ceilinged spaces such as warehouses. These semi-permanent structures structures are usually free-standing, can be dismantled and relocated, and are sold commercially. Industrial mezzanine structures can be supported by structural steel columns and elements, or by racks or shelves. Depending on the span and the run of the mezzanine, different materials may be used for the mezzanine's deck. Some industrial mezzanines may also include enclosed, paneled office space on their upper levels.
Industrial mezzanines are typically not constructed of wood. When they are, the mezzanine is usually used solely for storage.
An architect is sometimes hired to help determine whether the floor of the building can support a mezzanine (and how heavy the mezzanine may be), and to design the appropriate mezzanine.
Mezzanine floors enable the working height of a space to be utilised to its full potential by doubling or tripling the surface area. They can be designed as storage areas, changing rooms or offices, among other concepts.
Advantages -
- They can be completely disassembled;
- All parts can be reused, and their structure, size or location can easily be modified.
- The wide range of sizes, floor types and construction systems mean the mezzanines can be adapted to meet specific client needs.
- They can be complemented with a variety of shelving systems.
- The mezzanine design must take into account the access-ways, work system, the product and handling methods so that such elements as stairs, handrails, and loading and unloading zones can be accurately planned.
- Platform and goods lifts can also be incorporated to facilitate the movement of goods from one level to another. They are quick, clean and easy to install.
