Comprehensive Fire Protection for Mezzanine Floors

At MiTek, we’re committed to protecting lives, preserving structural integrity, and securing valuable assets. Fire safety is a critical consideration in the design and installation of mezzanine floors, with the level of protection required varying according to the floor’s purpose, size, layout, construction materials, and any additional safety measures in place. Local regulations play a significant role, with compliance requirements differing across regions. That’s why it’s essential to ensure full adherence to all applicable building and health and safety standards. Whatever your project needs, the expert team at MiTek is here to guide and support you every step of the way.

Fire Rating Requirement

Whether a mezzanine floor needs to be fire rated depends largely on its intended use. Generally, to meet UK Building Regulations, mezzanine floors used as office spaces must have appropriate fire protection. Floors used solely for storage or maintenance might not require fire rating, although some storage mezzanines must be protected based on specific conditions:

  • If the mezzanine floor area exceeds 400m²
  • If any single edge of the floor spans more than 20 linear metres
  • If the mezzanine covers more than 50% of the overall room it is installed in
  • If more than three people will occupy the mezzanine at any one time

Understanding these requirements ensures your mezzanine floor complies with safety regulations and provides a secure environment for its users.
