A mezzanine floor is a convenient and cost-effective way to add more space for storage, personnel, rooms, and offices for those businesses with an industrial warehouse. High land prices in our capital cities often factor in the decision making when selecting a new site or if considering relocating. Prior to moving, you may wish to consider the addition of a mezzanine to resolve your space or operational issues. Space Rescue is a supplier and builder of mezzanine floors in warehouses within Melbourne, Dandenong, Geelong, and surrounding industrial areas.
Interestingly, the addition of mezzanine flooring provides more property choice including allowing you to defer the need to move. The reason for this is because it is possible to stay in a less expensive building with a smaller ground floor footprint. The total floor area can then easily be increased by adding a mezzanine floor. We can either deliver a mezzanine floor kit to you or organise a complete supply and installation.
1. Advantages of Mezzanine Floors
a) Dramatic improvement in space
The addition of single-tier mezzanines can effectively increase the floor space within the footprint that the structure sits above by up to 100%. The option to easily double the floor space is quite an advantage to business. This is especially true for those growing Melbourne businesses that are bursting at the seams with stock stored inefficiently in aisles and no room to take on additional staff.
b) Greater spans under your floor
Working with structural steel has several advantages when it comes to the custom design of mezzanine floors. One benefit is the ability to place posts further apart and therefore reducing obstructions. This is possible when you increase the size and strength of the supporting beams. Clearer areas offer more convenience and more flexibility in what you can do under your floor. This is especially true for those using machinery and storage equipment in their warehouse.
c) Improved operational efficiencies
It is not uncommon for businesses to store stock at a few different sites. Consolidating stock within the one area can greatly improve operational efficiencies. This is especially true when you consider the costs and time to transfer stock from one location to another for the picking, packing, and despatching of orders.
d) Enhance the look and utility of your site
Mezzanine floors are an impressive addition to your business premises, breaking up large expanses of concrete floor. They create a more interesting work environment for staff due to greater definition of different purposed areas. Furthermore, separate, and well-defined break-out and lunch areas help staff to take more relaxing breaks.
e) Speed of implementation
An impressive feature of our mezzanine flooring system is the speed with which we can assemble it on site. The reason we are able to do this is from our careful planning and preparation. After an extensive site measure, we are able to design materials in detail. This in turn enables the meticulous pre-fabrication of parts off site. The benefit from this is that we are able to minimise the time we are on site installing, letting you get back to business quickly.

4. FAQ
The minimum requirement for a single-level mezzanine floor is a suitable ground concrete floor slab to support the post loads and at least 2.1 metres of head clearance above and below the deck of the mezzanine. To achieve these non-habitable area clearances, we recommend a minimum roof height of at least 4.5 metres. Suitable access, such as a staircase, and adequate fall protection in the form of guardrails fitted to all exposed floor edges are also a must.
