What are mezzanines?
Mezzanines are vertical-standing structures built to increase warehouse storage space. Installing a mezzanine in your project means utilizing all of the ceiling height that your facility has.
There are many options when it comes to mezzanines: they can be free-standing, building-supported, shelving supported, and rack supported.
Why choose a mezzanine or multi-level system?
Mezzanines utilize the entire cubic space of your facility. In an existing facility, you can add a mezzanine instead of adding-on or leasing an additional building. In new construction, vertical space can be utilized to create the same amount of usable space as a larger building, but with a smaller footprint. Typically, mezzanines cost less than adding onto a building (to add floor space). Another benefit is the flexibility of mezzanines and multi-level systems. Warehouse spaces often change as time goes by, your layout needs to adapt to a business’s needs. Mezzanines offer flexibility — you’re able to add on and reconfigure your floor plan as operations change and expand.
