Mezzanine floors are ideal for the expansion of offices and industrial areas

Mezzanine floor systems are semi-permanent floors which are installed within a building and built between two original floors. These floors are free standing, as they do not need the support of the building or floors. The steel pillars support the floors and it is very simple to dismantle and relocate them.

The flooring or decking varies according to the requirements but they are generally made of b-deck underlayment. Mezzanine floorings usually use wood products, heavy duty steel, aluminium or fibreglass grating for finished floors.

Different materials used to create mezzanine floors

There are several types of mezzanine floors and they are made of materials like structural steel, stainless steel and cold rolled steel. These different kinds of materials determine the price and the requirements of the floors.

Structural steel – They are commonly used for column spacing and these floors are made with an open web bar joist. It is very simple to move electric conduits and water pipes through the floors. It is quick to install steel mezzanine floors and these floors are very affordable. The structural steel floors are heavier than other materials; this makes them larger and capable of carrying heavy loads.

Cold rolled steel – They are made up of sheet metal that makes them lighter than structural steel. The finishing touch gives them a nice visual aspect. Although, they are lightweight, they can still carry heavy loads.

Stainless steel - They are one of the most commonly used mezzanine floors and they have little column spacing.

Thus, there are many different types of materials which are used to make mezzanine floors and you can opt for the one according to your requirements.
