What is a Mezzanine Floor?
A mezzanine floor is often referred to as a mezzanine is an additional floor structure that is built within an existing building space, typically between the floor and ceiling. Mezzanine floors are commonly used to create additional usable workspace within a building without major structural alterations needed. They are versatile structures that can be customised to provide valuable additional floorspace and can be often found used in warehouses and factories, retail and offices.
The name “mezzanine” originates from Italian, where “mezzanino” refers to an intermediate floor or mezzanine level. Over time, the concept of the mezzanine evolved to include structures built within existing rooms to provide additional space for various purposes.
Mezzanine floors are typically constructed using steel or aluminium materials, providing strength, durability, and stability. Columns or pillars support mezzanines, ensuring they can withstand the weight of people, storage and equipment items. Mezzanines can be single-level or multi-level, depending on the height of the building and the space requirements.
The Benefits of a Mezzanine Floor
- A low-cost solution to create extra floor space within existing buildings, without the need for expensive expansions or changes to the structure.
- Unlocks your building’s potential by turning unused headroom into valuable floor space.
- Boosts efficiency and productivity by creating additional floor space. Mezzanine floors can be used to separate different work areas for your warehouse, storage or office space.

Frequently Asked Questions
The need for fire rating depends on the intended use of the mezzanine floor. If the floor is designated for storage, automated storage, or maintenance purposes, it may not require fire rating. However, for any other use, fire rating is necessary under the following conditions:
- The floor area exceeds 400m2.
- Any edge is in excess of 20 linear metres.
- The size of the mezzanine floor is more than 50% of the room it is installed in.
- More than 3 people will be working on the floor simultaneously.
Mezzanine floors are designed to accommodate various loads based on British Standard load table classifications:
- Light weight use: 4.8Kn/m2 (480kg per square metre).
- Medium weight use: 7.32Kn/m2 (732kg per square metre).
- Heavy weight use: 9.6Kn/m2 (960kg per square metre).
For precise load considerations, it is recommended to consult with one of our expert representatives who can provide tailored advice based on specific requirements.
The simple answer is yes, mezzanine flooring requires building regulations approval.
NSI Projects with its expertise in mezzanine floor installations, will handle the whole process on your behalf.
The approval process typically takes around 48 hours, ensuring a smooth and compliant installation, but this can differ with specific projects, contact one of our team for more details.
For internal mezzanine floors, 38mm thick high-density flooring grade chipboard is the standard choice. However, if the floor is exposed to liquids, steel plate can be used. External mezzanine floors, which face the challenges of weather exposure, should use galvanized steel plate, or galvanized open mesh to prevent rusting.
Mezzanine floors offer a versatile solution for space optimisation, but it’s essential to address key considerations such as fire ratings, weight capacities, building regulations, and floor decking options. NSI Projects are experts in mezzanine floor installations and can ensure your project complies with regulations and meets your specific needs.
