Straightforward mezzanines for integrated designs

Whether you need a mezzanine for storage, to create valuable operational space or to integrate with material handling systems, our experienced team of designers and structural engineers will deliver a bespoke solution.
As you would expect, ensuring the quality and safety of our mezzanines is vitally important. All our floors meet the general requirements of BRE Digest 437 and all relevant British and European standards, with all fabricated structural steelwork carrying UKCA and CE Marks to meet legal requirements.

The right design for any application

We offer various different lightweight, freestanding steel mezzanine solutions and will always offer you the option that best suits your business needs. 
The main three designs are:

  • Hybrid design
    Hot-rolled primary beams & cold-formed joists
  • Cold-formed design
    Cold-formed primary beams & cold-formed joists
  • Mezzanine7 design
    Hybrid design plus Bdeck 

Choosing the right design depends on the specific requirements. For a light-weight floor, a cold-formed design can save costs as it requires less material. However, where large beam spans or high load capacities are needed, a hybrid solution could be the preferred and more cost effective option.  Mezzanine7 is the ultimate solution for future-proofing your structure to meet the evolving needs of your business.

In some cases, a combination of all designs are used in a single project. As a result, we can offer the right mezzanine for any application. MiTek's expert team is on hand to give you advice and provide the best solution. 

Hybrid vs Cold-formed design

While the UK has traditionally used hybrid mezzanines, built using hot-rolled primary beams and cold-formed joists, the cold-formed design has been common for mezzanine floors in Europe. It can offer a number of advantages for customers, depending on the intended use but there are some design limitations compared to the hybrid system. MiTek will always select the optimum solution to meet the needs of the customer’s application.

Hybrid system

Hot-rolled primary beams & cold-formed joists

 

 

 

Benefits & features 

  • Longer beam spans
  • Higher load capacity
  • Less deflection
  • Unbraced design possible
  • Heavier structrue
  • Fire protection
    (through intumescent paint)

Cold-formed system

Cold-formed primary beams & cold-formed joists

 

 

Benefits & features 

  • Lighter structure
  • Less embodied carbon
  • Faster leadtime
  • Shorter installation period
  • Some design limitations
    (beam span, load capacity, deflection)
 

Hybrid design vs Mezzanine7

Our standard steel mezzanines are designed for fast installation and are extremely strong, versatile and capable of being used in almost any business environment. Our in-house structural engineers will advise if you would benefit from installing our Mezzanine7® floor to bear the load and operation required.  Mezzanine7® can significantly increase strength, offers less deflection, reduces frequency and enhances light efficiency.
