Benefits Of Using A Mezzanine In A Warehouse.

Warehouse Mezzanine: 

What is it?

         A warehouse mezzanine floor system is an elevated floor/platform that is installed bet-ween the floor and the ceiling. Most of the time these steel structures are free-standing and can be dismantled and moved with relative ease. Industrial mezzanines are normally composed of steel (carbon or stainless). The flooring will vary based on the specific application, but it is often made of steel (bar grate, metal decking, etc), wood product finished floor or b-decking.  Mezzanines can also be designed to accommodate a concrete flooring surface. Mezzanine systems in a warehouse environment are an effective way to increase storage and/or workspace by allowing you to utilize the unused vertical space that already exists in your facility. After the mezzanine is constructed, the space beneath it is also accessible and can be used for storage or other purposes.  There are a few different types of mezzanines to choose from, but steel structural is the most common in warehouses.
