Steel Mezzanine Flooring and Components for Offices and Retail

Mezzanine floors are a great way to increase the capacity of your premises at a fraction of the cost of relocating or extending. Mezzanines are intermediate (upper level) floors in a building, situated between your floor and ceiling. 

Many retail or office businesses use them as a cost-effective way to maximise their existing space. 

Mezzanines have several applications (and are not limited to this list);

  • Storing items, in this application shelving is added. Warehouses tend to have mezzanines with this feature.
  • As a place to put an office
  • House machinery and equipment
  • Shop floors (this is seen a lot in retail settings, i.e., department stores)
  • Staff use- Kitchen and recreational spaces

Fire Protection and Your Mezzanine Floor?

Your mezzanine floor may need to be fire rated depending on its intended use. The need for fire rating requirements changes depending on the size and the number of people working on the mezzanine at one time. Please check building regulations to ensure you are fully compliant.

Fire rating a steel mezzanine is vital and is a legal requirement in UK building regulation (unless stated exempt). You can take several measures to fire rate your mezzanine;

Methods

  • Suspended tiles- Fit the underside of the mezzanine with a suspended ceiling made up of fire-rated tiles that can provide at least one hour of protection.
  • Fireproof coating- Apply PVC cladding or intumescent paint that has a 1-hour fire rating to each column on the mezzanine (also known as column casing)
  • Fascia- Fit fascia to the edges of the mezzanine to shield flames and smoke for up to 60 minutes.

These strategies do not act as a fail-safe against fire outbreaks or spread. They act as a time buffer, allowing people adequate time to evacuate the mezzanine floor before the fire becomes too uncontrolled to grant a safe evacuation. It is prudent to implement other measures, i.e., smoke alarms, sprinklers, and strategic placement of your mezzanine near a fire exit, with no hazards inhibiting a quick and safe escape.
