A mezzanine floor, also known as a raised storage area, is used to take advantage of the usable high space within the confines of an existing building, such as in an industrial warehouse. Consequently land in Australian capital cities, including Sydney, has become quite expensive, impacting both commercial and domestic buildings alike. As a result, rather than moving to larger premises, it is becoming more prevalent for businesses to invest in mezzanine flooring. Space Rescue is a supplier and builder of mezzanine floors in Sydney, Newcastle, Maitland, the Central Coast, and surrounding industrial areas (plus Canberra ACT).
1. Benefits of a Mezzanine Floor
a) Open areas under your floor
One of the great benefits of a mezzanine floor is the flexibility provided through customised design. If you require specifically sized clear areas under your floor, we can strategically allow for fewer posts and larger spans. For instance, using higher beam and joist section profiles allows you to increase the span. Consequently, the option for greater spans allows our customers to make the most of the available space on the ground underneath the mezzanine deck.
b) Improve the functionality of your site
Extra floor space will bring you a whole host of new possibilities. When you consider adding partitioning above or below your mezzanine level, you can easily create a break room, a despatch office, or a meeting room. On the other hand, you may simply need more floor area for pallet storage or perhaps you would like to add longspan shelving for your growing inventory requirement. We can either deliver a mezzanine floor kit to you or organise a full installation.
c) Speedy solution for space issues
Our structural mezzanine floors are considered a rather fast solution to space problems within Sydney. In contrast, this is in comparison to the time and challenges involved relocating to larger premises. Steel fabricators make these floors, also known as raised storage platforms, from steel sections and can quickly prefabricate them off-site and prepare them for installation. Furthermore, we carefully plan and complete most of the hard work upfront, which greatly reduces the time spent erecting the floor on site. As a result, this enables our Sydney customers to get up and running with their additional space options in a relatively short period of time.
d) You can easily remove when you move
A handy feature of our mezzanine floors is that they are free-standing platforms. Therefore, they are able to stand independently and free of the building they are placed within. Similarly, as with pallet racking in warehouses, we only need to secure these structures to your concrete slab using floor anchors for stability. As a result, this makes it quite easy to dismantle them without causing any permanent damage to your building. Without a doubt, this is an important requirement for those leasing.
e) Future changes are easy with a Mezzanine Floor in Sydney
As your company grows or consolidates, its needs are likely to change. Space Rescue’s mezzanine floors are designed to be modular, with bolt-together parts, making it quite easy to replace selected components within the structure. For example, if you wanted to alter the clearance under your mezzanine deck, you could swap the posts out. Other possibilities include adding an extension or creating a penetration for a lift or conveyor.

5. FAQ
In comparison to the costs and disruption of relocating to larger premises, the swift erection of a mezzanine floor, providing more storage and floor area, is a budget-friendly alternative and a good investment for our Sydney customers.
A standard mezzanine in Australia is typically rectangular in shape with a floor height of around three metres. In addition, it includes ball and tube guardrails on exposed floor edges. Moreover, the structure is made of hot-rolled steel beams and posts, along with cold-rolled metal purlins. It also uses tongue and groove floorboards. Finally, a standard mezzanine has at least one staircase and one pallet gate.
The minimum amount of clear headroom required both above and below the mezzanine floor level is 2.1 metres.
