Mezzanines allow you to gain extra space for storage or office areas without having to expand the footprint of the building.
As an extremely efficient and cost-effective way to maximise usable space, traditional mezzanine floors offer lots of benefits.
However, the endless advantages of mezzanine floors have the potential to be supercharged by opting for a multi-tier mezzanine floor instead.
The Mezzanine Company is a leading UK installer of mezzanine flooring.
To uncover whether a multi-level mezzanine is possible, here’s what you need to know.
What Is A Multi-Level Mezzanine Floor?
As the name suggests, a multi-level mezzanine floor is when a mezzanine structure has two or more levels.
Incorporating more than one floor level to create a multi-tier mezzanine is an ideal solution when there is a need to considerably increase the usable floor space within a facility. The number of storeys and overall design of the mezzanine will depend on the available space. However, there are endless customisations that can be explored depending on what extra space is required.
Multi-level mezzanine floors can be built in various commercial premises, with some common examples including warehouses, distribution centres and factories.
Is It Possible To Install A Multi-Tier Mezzanine?
The short answer is yes, it is possible to install a mezzanine which has multiple floors. That’s so long as the structure complies with all applicable building regulations.
While far from exhaustive, some of the top safety considerations for mezzanine flooring include:
- Accessibility
- Edge protection
- Fire safety
- Floor surface
- Height & clearance
- Insulation & acoustics
- Lift access
- Lighting
- Load bearing capacity
- Protection from falls, collision and impact
- Safe access & egress
- Structural safety
- Sustainable design
- Ventilation
While there can be a lot to consider, enlisting professional help from the experts here at The Mezzanine Company can make the process of installing a multi-level structure quite straightforward. That’s because we have a comprehensive understanding of the requirements meaning we can carry out any necessary surveys and ensure overall compliance on your behalf.
Likewise, we can also advise on planning permission along with any other aspects which may be relevant to ensure the safe installation of a multi-level mezzanine floor within your commercial premises.
Multi-Tier Mezzanine Benefits
Mezzanine floors make excellent use of what is otherwise redundant space in a building. So where it’s feasible to add multiple levels to a mezzanine structure, the potential quite literally expands alongside the usable space which is gained.
Whether the additional space is required for an office, storage or industrial operations, a mezzanine supports the growth of your business without having to relocate.
The ability to build vertically also works to minimise disruption elsewhere in the building, especially in key areas which may be prone to congestion (i.e. areas where forklifts operate within a warehouse). A multi-tier mezzanine keeps everything out of the way while also providing that much-needed extra space.
Overall, where adding a multi-tier mezzanine is possible, it makes sense to grab every available inch of the building and put it to use. This is especially the case given the cost-effectiveness and versatility that a mezzanine structure possesses.
