The term is often used loosely for the floor above the ground floor. Industrial mezzanines, such as those used in warehouses, may be temporary or semi-permanent structures. In most cases, you have the potential to double your useable space while not increasing the cost per square foot of rented space. In the event you need to expand or relocate, the mezzanine can be added onto or knocked down and taken with you.  

Depending on your requirements for clear heights above and below the floor this may vary. A rule of thumb is a minimum clear ceiling height (below the lowest obstruction) of 16’. This will allow for a clear height below 7’ to 8’ and above the mezzanine floor of approx. 7’ plus the thickness of the structure. Of course, additional space may be required for items such as sprinklers, lighting, or taller equipment/stored items. 

The products are manufactured to Canadian Building Standards and are available with engineer stamped drawings upon request. For building permits or fire code regulations you would need to consult your local municipality and conform to their requirement. This varies from region to region and is the end user’s responsibility. 

Common types of flooring for a warehouse-type mezzanine include Open Steel Planking, Q Decking with T&G Wood Overlay, Bar Grating, Checkered Steel Decking, and FRP Grating. 

Mezzanines are reverse-engineered to meet your needs. Whether it’s the point load of a shelving system or the distributed load of a piece of industrial equipment there are a range of capacities to suit your needs.
