Have you ever wondered why some offices and warehouses have those platforms built on the same floor? These platforms are basically called mezzanine floors or mezzanine flooring and are the places where you would commonly find additional office decks with workers or in the case of warehouses, additional storage areas for goods.
Usually, most companies who can’t afford to move into a new building have mezzanines built to minimize expenses which would arise from having renovations or extensions done. Also it helps in keeping companies from relocating to another building right away if that particular company doesn’t have the right amount of resources available for it.
Mezzanine floors are most commonly built to maximize the space that some buildings have whether those be for office building purposes or for storage purposes. However, some people can actually have mezzanines built into their own homes and apartments for the same purpose: increase storage space, while some have them built to serve as their living quarters.
If you are thinking of having a mezzanine installed in your home or office though, you will need to consider several things prior to contacting a construction firm. First, you will need to do a headroom check which involves measuring the height of the building’s interior which would be the measurement from the floor to the ceiling. If that reaches at least 4.5 meters and higher, then you can have a mezzanine built. Of course, you will need to consider first the amount of space that mezzanine will be covering since there are rules and regulations that govern how much area can be covered by a mezzanine and the requirements that need to be fulfilled with that.
However, if your house/office building meets the requirement for having mezzanine flooring installed, you can simply contact any construction firm that specializes in doing that. Since a lot of companies are fond of having mezzanines installed, a lot of firms have also popped up to meet that demand.
