A mezzanine floor is a platform constructed within an existing building, usually halfway between the floor and roof, to create extra storage or workspace. Mezzanines are constructed from horizontal steel beams fitted on top of upright columns. Decking is placed on purlins, which span the steel beams, to create a stable, load-bearing surface. Mezzanine floors can accommodate racking and workstations, or additional offices, showroom space or classrooms. A mezzanine floor can be fastened to available walls though are usually installed as freestanding structures.
Mezzanine flooring is a low-cost method to maximise space within a building, by utilising unused vertical space. Choosing to create additional storage or workspace within existing business premises, such as an office or warehouse, avoids the need to move location as a business grows.
Mezzanine floors are subject to Building Regulations, specifically related to the ‘Raised Storage Areas’ section. As part of our design process, Prodek can make the application on your behalf.
Every mezzanine floor design is unique, with a bespoke design to suit each building and meet different business requirements. For most mezzanine floor installations, only Building Regulations approval is required for construction to commence. However, some mezzanine floor installations require planning permission, depending on intended use, size and necessary external building alterations.
Our designers are fully conversant with the latest planning legislation and Buildings Regulations – we communicate with building control inspectors on a weekly basis. Our designers ensure mezzanine floor plans are compliant with regulation and manage necessary applications for our clients.

A mezzanine is a partial or intermediate floor that has an area amassing 25% or less of the floor it is located on, and is installed between the ceiling and the floor.
Where a Mezzanine floor is a sub-floor positioned directly between the ceiling and floor of a room, a loft is a designated space under the roof of a building generally used for long-term storage.
A mezzanine is classed as a separate floor area that is elevated from the original floor, whereas a second floor is a separate story from the ground floor entirely.
A mezzanine floor is designed to create a substantial amount of additional space without having to undertake costly and invasive construction work that could otherwise disrupt day-to-day operations.
Some advantages include:
• Maximise existing premises with a mezzanine floor
• Low-cost method for space-efficiency
• Create additional storage and workspace
• Full kit out available from storage to office and retail
• Prodek can make Buildings Regulation applications
To ensure ultimate safety for workers, it’s imperative that a risk assessment is carried out, as an improperly maintained mezzanine floor can lead to accident and injury to both your employees, equipment, and stock.
A significant amount of planning is required to ensure that a mezzanine floor is the right solution for you and your business. Your current ground floor configuration, as well as traffic from both your employees and any lifting machinery on site, should be assessed.
Mezzanine floors are not typically recognised as an official floor in a building’s overall design, as they are considered to be elevated areas in the form of an interior balcony.
Generally speaking, a mezzanine floor is considered to be an intermediate floor constructed between the floor and ceiling of a building; covering a specific area rather than using the entire floor space.
Although Business Regulations Approval is a requirement when installing a new mezzanine floor, in the majority of cases Planning Permission is not required as long as the mezzanine floor is a fully demountable structure and the changes are in the building’s interior; as long as the structure is no larger than 200m2, Planning Permission should not be required.
All mezzanine floors must have sufficient means of escape in case of fire and accident, offer a reasonable amount of fire resistance – depending on its facilities and purpose – and be accessible to emergency services.
