MEZZANINES FOR INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS. ADDITIONAL VERTICAL SPACE

Altillos para naves industriales | Desmon

Mezzanines for industrial buildings are the perfect solution for making the most of space. Normally, warehouses are open-plan, spacious areas with a great height. For this reason, in addition to the horizontal square metres, it is important to take into account the possibilities offered by the vertical dimension.

Without a doubt, it is always a good idea to make the most of these metres. And it is possible to do so by installing mezzanines for industrial buildings.

At DESMON we are experts in office furniture. We have been equipping workplaces for many years. Likewise, we have options to optimise the space of industrial buildings. Our journey has allowed us to know the usefulness of mezzanines for industrial buildings and their use for different activities.

With this post we want to talk to you about the possibilities offered by these spaces and the advantages of their installation.

WHAT ARE MEZZANINES FOR INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS?

We begin with the definition of a mezzanine for an industrial building. This is a metal structure that allows new raised areas to be created. This means that extra space is obtained at a certain distance from the hall floor.

It is possible to build mezzanines and mezzanine floors to serve as storage systems. Or even free-standing mezzanines for other types of work.

This is certainly a very effective way of gaining additional space. And it can be achieved on the premises of a factory, workshop or industry.

ASSEMBLY OF MEZZANINE FLOORS FOR INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS

One of the great advantages of mezzanine floors for industrial buildings is that they are easy to assemble. The metal structure is easy to fit. In addition, the height, width and depth can be adjusted. The assembly is quick and can be carried out without affecting the normal operation of the plant where it is installed.

Installation is also clean and does not involve any wet or masonry work. This avoids creating a nuisance for the workers in the building. It is important to bear in mind that the installation of the mezzanine does not involve any foundation work.

Normally, the structure is fastened with screws appropriate to the weight and material. Rivets are also used to secure the assembly.

Finally, it is an economical assembly that does not involve the use of specific machinery that could increase the budget.

VERSATILE AND REUSABLE MEZZANINES

Another interesting advantage of the installation of mezzanines for industrial buildings is their versatility. We refer specifically to the fact that it is a completely dismountable structure. This means that it can be dismantled to be installed in another area of the building.

Likewise, it is possible to keep it dismantled in order to fit it out when the plant’s activity requires it. For this reason we can say that mezzanines for industrial buildings are reusable.

ARE ROBUST AND SAFEY SEGUROS

At DESMON, when we receive a request to manufacture mezzanines for industrial buildings, we take safety very much into account. First of all, our design team uses computer tools to calculate the distances and the load capacity. Different variants such as height, weight of goods and width of the mezzanine have to be taken into account. All of these have to be weighed and assessed to ensure that the mezzanine floors are in good condition.

It goes without saying that 3 important factors must be guaranteed:

  • Stability. It is imperative that the mezzanine is stable and well fixed.
  • Safety. It must be a firm, vertical structure, free of sharp edges.
  • Strength. Without a doubt, the mezzanine must withstand high loads without deteriorating.

Finally, we would like to comment on the behaviour of mezzanines for industrial buildings in the event of fire. The metal structure can be treated with intumescent paint. This means that, in the event of a fire, the paint reacts safely to heat.

It forms a foamed insulating layer that protects the metal mezzanines from the flames. As a result, no harmful fumes are released and heat transmission is reduced.

ALLOW FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF SOIL

The floor of industrial hall mezzanines can be made of different materials. Of course, one of the most common options is chipboard flooring. The boards are usually about 30 mm thick and are joined together with splices or tongue and groove. The result is a completely smooth floor with no edges that could cause tripping or load slippage.

Another possibility is to lay metal decking with sheets of different finishes. Slotted, grooved, grooved, perforated or grilled structures can be laid.

APPLICATIONS OF MEZZANINE FLOORS FOR INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS

This type of mezzanine is mainly used for warehousing tasks. They are essential in logistics companies where they are used to house all kinds of goods. Therefore, this is their most common use.

However, mezzanines can also be fitted out to house administrative work in industrial warehouses. They can be used as isolated workspaces by installing opaque or glass walls and access doors. It is also possible to combine them with the use of lifting platforms or forklifts to set up goods sorting areas.
