Don’t get stuck in the middle when choosing a mezzanine floor installer
For many businesses, especially those that encounter a period of growth, floor space is very often at a premium. It’s certainly not common for businesses to have large amounts of free space within premises, as most will strive to ensure that every square metre of floor is fulfilling a vital role generating revenue for the company.
When is it comes to the physical growth and expansion of a business there are often a number of potential options. Business owners may consider moving premises; but for many the cost of relocating staff, stock and machinery will require a sizable investment; not to mention the potential disruption to customers and the business in general.
Another option is to expand existing premises with an extension if land is available to build on and a budget allows, but this again can be very costly. A business can however expand in a different way, one that has become an increasingly viable and popular solution; the installation of mezzanine flooring.
If space permits a mezzanine floor can be installed, for example, in the roof space of high ceiling buildings to make the most of available space. Mezzanine areas can be used for offices or storage and provide a flexible solution that in the main can be constructed with minimum disruption to a business.
For retail environments mezzanine flooring allows a business to get the most out of existing premises, providing vital selling space or additional storage capacity which can open up new profitable opportunities. Most importantly mezzanine flooring can be installed quickly and can be dismantled easily should a business move premises.
There are a great many specialist installers of mezzanine floors throughout the UK; but it’s important to employ a reputable and experienced company. Building regulations and health and safety requirements must be adhered to with the construction of mezzanine floors so it’s important to request case studies and testimonials of previous work undertaken. Most companies will be able to show you existing installations so that you can assess the quality of work and be certain that the solution they propose will be right for you.
If mezzanine flooring is required for storage or handling equipment then you may need a company that is able to deliver a full service to ensure the project fully meets your requirements. That way you can be certain that the solution can cope with the demands placed on it whatever the requirements; be it partitioning, racking, shelving, lifts or conveyors. It’s also much easier to deal with one company that can handle a project from inception to delivery.
Once you’ve decided the function your mezzanine will serve you need to consider all of the relevant variables including price, quality, materials, projected lead times and how will the business be affected during installation.
Most importantly you want to deal with a company that is professional and responds quickly. Some companies will use in-house teams and others will use sub-contractors, but either way you should ensure that those involved in the project follow ISO9001 criteria.
