Mezzanine floors are an, almost, infinitely applicable installation that is capable of benefiting a range of businesses. But, there are both multiple advantages and disadvantages that you may not have already considered. Luckily, at Wessex Interiors we are experts in the installation of mezzanine floors, so we decided to explore a few of the pros and cons in our blog below!
ADVANTAGES:
Variety– One of the main advantages of mezzanine floors is that there are a few varieties from which you can choose from. This is beneficial as it allows you to tailor the mezzanine floor to better suit your situation.
Increase usable surface area– Mezzanine levels increase the usable surface area of your office or warehouse building by utilising the vertical space. By using the level and the space it creates below you can increase working space without changing premises.
Install– Mezzanines maximise space while maintaining a visible division between two areas. They are efficient, simple to set up, and profitable. They are a solution that optimises space utilisation at the lowest feasible cost and without the requirement for a building permit.
Stable– A mezzanine is equally as strong and stable as the ground floor. It can be customised to be more aesthetic and is built of strong steel. It can be used to store larger goods and equipment. A mezzanine can be tailored to your needs to create an additional storage room, an office platform, or a space for machinery.
Customisable– Access ramps, conveyors, stairways, mezzanine slides, detachable safety barriers, and other accessories are also available. A mezzanine may also be reconfigured as needed to adapt to changes in your industry, resold, and even transferred into other warehouses if necessary because it is modular, expandable, and movable.
DISADVANTAGES:
Like everything else, these flooring have certain drawbacks. The following are a few limitations of mezzanine floors.
Space– One of the disadvantages of these floors is that it can take up ground floor space due to the fact that it is supported by posts that may be placed in areas that have a heavy flow of traffic.
Reconfiguration– For you to be able to install the proper kind of mezzanine for your requirements, you will need to take into consideration the layout of the ground floor work space, its traffic, and make sure you have a clearly defined design.
