Warehouse Mezzanine Floor Solutions by Prodek
Here at Prodek, we understand more than most that as a business develops and expands, the need for useable storage space becomes more and more of a necessity. The ability to increase useable space without disruption is vital for any storage or warehouse facility, especially in premises where maintaining the balance between health and safety compliance and efficiency is of paramount importance. The costs and disruption associated with relocating your business can impede your business operations, so if useable storage space is quickly becoming an issue, then a warehouse mezzanine floor is the perfect solution.
With over 30 years of mezzanine floor design and installation expertise, our team use their extensive experience to develop warehouse mezzanine solutions that utilise every square inch of your premises. A flexible space-saving solution, our professional warehouse mezzanine floors at Prodek can be designed around existing configurations and operations, whilst taking into consideration additional loads, as well as integration with other logistics and storage equipment, allowing for minimal disruption to business proceedings.
What is a Warehouse Mezzanine Floor?
A tried and tested method of significantly increasing useable warehouse and storage space, our warehouse mezzanine floors by Prodek provide an intermediate floor between ground level and the warehouse roof, with the potential to double storage capacity. If warehouse height allows, our mezzanine floors can be designed as a multi-tiered mezzanine installation, capable of supporting machinery, storage racking, and more.
Designed and installed by our team of skilled mezzanine floor experts, our mezzanine structures are ideal for warehouse and storage settings. In spaces where heavy-duty industrial machinery, warehousing, and lifting equipment are in operation regularly, it’s essential to provide ample space for efficient manufacturing processes, storage, and safe movement for both personnel and material handling machinery. Prodek’s warehouse mezzanine floors can span the entire footprint of a building (subject to building regulations) or be tailored to any specific size needed. Whatever your requirements, our seasoned engineers are on hand to offer guidance on the optimal solution for your production requirements.
Why invest in a Warehouse Mezzanine Floor?
Businesses and warehouses that invest in a custom warehouse mezzanine floor by Prodek can benefit from the following…
Maximise Existing Space
In warehouses where every square meter is valuable, a mezzanine floor provides an efficient way to maximise the use of existing premises. This can help avoid the costs and disruption of relocating.
Cost-Effective Solution
For new businesses, setting up in smaller and less expensive premises is often a practical choice. Utilising a storage mezzanine floor makes the most of limited space, providing ample storage capacity without the need for larger premises.
Improved Order Fulfillment
Warehouse operations are centred around order fulfilment, and a well-designed mezzanine floor can significantly enhance order lead times. By optimising storage space and streamlining processes, it complements or even improves existing order picking and packing operations, leading to greater efficiency.
Enhanced Goods Handling
Incorporating features like pallet gates enables quick and safe movement of goods between levels using forklift trucks. Even warehouses without access to lifting equipment can benefit, as Prodek offers the installation of goods lifts for efficient handling using pallet trucks. This ensures smooth and efficient goods handling, contributing to overall operational efficiency.
Safety and Productivity
Safety is paramount in any warehouse environment. Mezzanine floors are designed with safety in mind, and Prodek offers a comprehensive range of accessories such as handrails and stairways to keep workers safe and productive. By providing a secure working environment, businesses can minimise the risk of accidents and downtime while maximising productivity.

Managing compliance, building codes, and planning permissions can be a complex task. However, Prodek makes it easier by overseeing the application process and ensuring that each industrial mezzanine floor complies with all relevant regulations.

Understanding Warehouse Mezzanine Floor Building Regulations
Mezzanine floors are subject to Building Regulations. As every mezzanine floor is different, there are cases where additional planning permission is required, though in most cases only Building Regulations approval is required.
To help customers navigate the complexities of Building Regulations, Prodek can make the application on your behalf. Our designers are fully conversant with the latest regulations and communicate with building control inspectors on a weekly basis.
Planning permission is only required for a mezzanine floor in a small number of projects. Mezzanine projects where Planning Permission may be required are when a mezzanine is intended for use as an office space, or retail space exceeding 200m2, or the mezzanine installation requires alteration to the outside of the building.
In all other cases, mezzanine floors are covered by the Raised Storage Areas section of UK Building Regulations 2010, relating to health and safety, design, and mezzanine construction.
