As well as the mezzanine floor itself, there are many other associated products to be considered in the design stage: Ancillary Items: Staircases A staircase can either be a functional part of your mezzanine floor or it could act as an inviting feature of it, alluring customers and clients to explore your added level. Whatever your need is, our designers and safety experts are available to offer more information and talk you through all the features, design options, regulations and requirements of your staircase. Decking Material We offer a wide range of mezzanine floor decking designs and styles, whether for retail, office accommodation, storage platforms, industrial or for tiered structures. We will consult with you to ensure that suitable decking is installed to your mezzanine floor to fit with its function or the image that you require. Handrails All mezzanine floors require edge protection to all exposed edges for safety purposes. We offer a wide range of handrail options with different styles, colours and finishes suitable for retail and industrial settings alike. Pallet Gates Pallet gates are designed to allow the loading and unloading of pallets and stock safely. Our pallet gates are designed so that no edge is ever left exposed, heightening the safety of those operating it. This ensures that staff using a pallet gate at the edge of a mezzanine floor, are always safely behind a handrail. Robust and easy to operate with an up and over lift system our pallet gates are the easiest and safest addition to an industrial or storage used mezzanine floor. oj Fire Protection In some cases, where a mezzanine floor is used for storage purposes only, fire protection is not required. However, if the platform exceeds certain size parameters, or when people are occupying the mezzanine floor on a continual basis, then suspended ceilings, column casings and smoke detection will be needed to comply with building regulations. Whatever your requirement we welcome the opportunity to visit your premises, assess your needs and provide a full CAD design service and quotation completely free of charge. 3
