Why Add a Mezzanine Floor? – Mezzanines

Mezzanine floors are structures constructed out of steel that create a second floor inside your existing space. This allows you to increase the available storage area in your warehouse, create a second floor for an office or double your business’ floor space without having to look for a new location.

Please Note for Mezzanine Floor Kit Quote Requests

The most important measurement we need is the dimensions inside of column to inside of column in your shed or warehouse. If you say, for example “It’s a 15×10 shed”, we’d assume you mean the concrete slab area – not the area you have to work with for assembling a mezzanine. Please be aware of any knee braces (on less expensive builds, these can be half way up a wall) or mullions – particularly at the gable end.

In other words, we need the exact measurements of the floor area you have to work in for your mezzanine – not the distance from wall to wall..

Choices for your Custom Design Mezzanines

In-Plane or Joist over bearer? – In-Plane gives a better ‘clean’ finish for just a few dollars more.

Joist Centres – either 450 or 600 – 600 will be less expensive but will require the equivalent of Red Tongue particle board – 450 would require the equivalent of the cheaper yellow tongue so not much difference in finished price.

  • Footing Brackets – Cast in, Base plate or Brackets – we recommend base plates for most jobs.
  • Wide span or Deep span is available for easy vehicle entry underneath as well as our cheapest option.
  • Load rating – your choice of light, medium or heavy – 3kpa is our recommendation for most purposes but its easy to go less or up to 10kpa.
  • Hand rail and stairs – your choice – our high quality stairs can be easily substituted for cheaper options from your local Hardware store.
  • Structural wall support – easily done if you have a wall capable of taking the weight.

Australian Standards on Mezzanine floors

Deflection limits are extremely important and often ignored by many disreputable installers and manufacturers. Your floor should have a 2mm vibration maximum which would be virtually impossible to achieve using Tophat or low-gauge mild steel. Make sure you are buying the best and strongest by checking your quote with the Smart Buyer’s Guide. When loads are applied, the floor can bend slightly. Australian Standards are enforced for mezzanine building but they are frequently disregarded. A professional, competent business like Professional Choice Sheds® will assist you in determining what your requirement demands are, then explain their proposal with their quote.

Again, if you have a steel shed or warehouse, it has barely the strength to carry its own weight. Do not allow the use of brackets against already over-stretched beams. This happens with a cheap mezzanine build. It’s OK to fix to existing structural walls. Your Australian high tensile steel mezzanine should be ‘stand alone” and this is what you get with Professional Choice Sheds®
