The Benefits Of A Mezzanine
Mezzanine floors provide an abundance of benefits for all kinds of settings, from residential homes to military operations. There are several core benefits that this type of construction offers, including:
Increased storage space
By implementing a mezzanine floor into a floor plan, storage space multiplies. Many manufacturers, retail stores, and the like use the extra space as storage for stock, inventory, and equipment, among many other materials.
Extra office space
Mezzanine floors are fantastic in production warehouses, as they can provide office space to production support personnel without impeding on machinery or equipment below.
Better access to elevated equipment
Mezzanine floor designs, such as rack mezzanines, provide improved access to elevated equipment. In industrial settings, it allows for equipment to be stored out of the way but also in a location that is easily accessible.
Added space in retail stores
Retail stores of all sizes utilize mezzanines to add space to their floor plan without expanding the building. Many companies use the extra space to display additional products.
Mezzanine Applications
Industrial Applications
Ideal in production facilities and warehouses, mezzanine floors provide extra storage, production space, and office space. Rather than solely using the ground-level floor plan to optimize space, these focus on the entire volume of the building to create added space.
Offices
Mezzanines are common in places like industrial units and car dealerships. They provide additional space for an office while still preserving floor space. Uses for these floors can also include complementing existing offices that usually need a protected staircase.
Retail Spaces
Also used to increase square footage in a specified space, mezzanines help increase company profits by providing extra room for shelf space. Contractors typically build the addition seamlessly with the original features of the building, making the mezzanine indistinguishable as an addition.
Storage Applications
Finding storage can be complicated, and many facilities face difficulties finding somewhere to put their extra products. Mezzanine floors help mitigate the struggle. Some companies use mezzanines for additional storage.
Production Space
Production space may also multiply with mezzanine floors. Many companies enlist the help of steel-work upgrades to multiply the loading capacity.
Catwalk And Conveyor
Mezzanine floors also are useful in transportation. They feature specific designs to accommodate both of these systems, providing a convenient method of transportation across and above the facility. Catwalks also can connect mezzanine levels, which allows for quick maneuverability across the facility.

Companies We Work With
Recent Projects We've Completed
At Magna Seating Detroit in Highland Park, MI, we provided additional space in their overflowing warehouse with a two-story office mezzanine. We provided full consultation, design, and installation of the below areas on our effective mezzanine platforms:
- - Additional office space
- - Conference area
- - Research and development area
- - Additional seating area for restaurant or retail space
In our initial consultation with Magna Seating, we quickly determined that building vertically would optimize their space in an already limited facility. As such, a 2-story mezzanine structure was conceptualized and outfitted with vinyl flooring, cubicles, decor, cubicles, and even a kitchen area.
Magna Seating now has much more space for their growing business while staying within the constraints of the floor space they already have.
