What Is A Mezzanine?
Mezzanines are elevated, open floors typically located between existing building stories or any other applications such as manufacturing plants or retail facilities requiring high-density storage or work areas. They are used to create extra floor space to expand operations, but can also create new use areas for a variety of purposes. Mezzanines generally provide added levels of security and are ideal for storage, offices, shops, cafeterias, break areas, and other multi-purpose applications.
Can A Mezzanine Be Freestanding?
Yes, some mezzanine systems can be freestanding. Freestanding mezzanines are typically secured to the floor with bolts and require no connection to building walls or columns. This eliminates a number of structural barriers and is an effective solution for creating extra floor space in existing buildings.
Can a Mezzanine Be Moved?
Yes, most mezzanine systems can be moved or relocated to different areas of a building. However, it is important to note that the mezzanine must always remain securely bolted to the floor for stability and safety. Additionally, the building must be able to support the weight of the mezzanine system before it is moved or relocated.
What Kind of Mezzanines Are There?
There are various types of mezzanines, including freestanding, flush-mounted, and roof-mounted mezzanines. Freestanding mezzanines are typically bolted to the floor and require no connection to walls or columns. Flush-mounted mezzanines are installed directly against walls and columns in order to maximize space. Finally, roof-mounted mezzanines are suspended from the ceilings of buildings in order to free up floor space.

The Main Problems Mezzanines Solve.
Mezzanines provide solutions for businesses seeking to expand operations in existing buildings with limited space. They allow businesses to efficiently utilize vertical space, providing more functions within the same limited space. Mezzanines are also an ideal solution for creating new use areas, additional offices, retail spaces, cafeterias, and similar multi-purpose applications. By allowing businesses to take advantage of unused vertical space, mezzanines can help maximize space and increase productivity.
Mezzanines create additional secure levels between existing building stories, making them ideal for stores or businesses needing higher levels of security. Additionally, their unique designs can help to reduce the build time needed for installation and make reconfigurations easier. Furthermore, mezzanines provide increased safety thanks to their sturdy railings, which prevent accidental falls and protect workers and equipment. The attractive aesthetic of mezzanines also help to create a cohesive look for the space.
Finally, mezzanines can provide a cost-effective solution for businesses looking for ways to increase their commercial operations. With no need for costly renovations or expanding into new buildings, businesses can begin taking advantage of the vertical space in their current building to maximize space and achieve their goals. With the right mezzanine solution, businesses can benefit from the added levels of security, improved productivity, and more.
Mezzanine Building Codes
Building codes may vary from region to region, but generally require that they must be able to support a minimum of 100 pounds per square foot of mezzanine deck. Any changes to the building structure, including the addition of a mezzanine, must also comply with all applicable building codes such as fire safety, electrical safety, and sanitary regulations. The mezzanine must be designed to ensure safe access, with stairs or platforms and guardrails where needed. Any mezzanine built over 8 feet must also be constructed with fire-rated materials to space fire retardant performance. Finally, appropriate means of egress must be provided to allow occupants to escape to a safe area in the event of an emergency.
Build Up, Not Out
By building up rather than out, tall systems take advantage of the facilities overhead space, while allowing valuable floor space to be used for more profitable activities. A great solution to storage problems.

- Diamond Plate – Steel decking is our second most durable flooring.
- Concrete Flooring – The most durable type of mezzanine flooring by far is concrete.
- Press-locked Grating – This decking is a common choice in the waste management, mining, and foodservice industries
Raised Platform Options
A free-standing raised platform is also known as a structural mezzanine and maximizes warehouse floor space. This type provides easy assembly and allows for traffic flow under the platform. It is ideal for warehouse & industrial storage, operation staging areas, conveyors, or modular offices.
Rack Supported
Rack supported mezzanines, often known as a catwalk system, provides additional storage areas above or between pallet racks. This type is ideal for pallets and industrial storage—loading and unloading multiple pallets simultaneously within the racking system. The shelving serves as the base support.
Structural raised platforms are an ideal option for expanding storage. A catwalk is an economical way to expand existing space and a flexible option for reconfiguration.

2000 Square Foot Storage Mezzanine by Panel Built
This is a giant 45′ x 45′ system at Yamaha in Newnan, GA. Yamaha was looking to optimize the vertical space inside their facility instead of building out to increase their return on investment compared to building outwards. The new mezzanine system is designed to hold non-value-added services for the manufacturer, increasing the overall capacity for their work-in-process area.
Because the structure was installed over an existing workspace, great detail went into the mezzanine layout and column space to safely avoid forklift traffic and clearances below. Overall, the mezzanine expanded the production floor space for the facility and provided an open, safe space for other services above the facility floor.
