What to Factor into Your Mezzanine Floor Costs

If you want to find out how much a mezzanine floor will cost for your business, you will need to weigh up the following factors that will inevitably impact the price.

1) Size and Weight Capacity:

The larger the floor area, the higher the cost. The weight capacity will also affect the price—heavier loads (like those needed in warehouses or industrial settings) require sturdier materials and support structures that cost more than standard flooring options.

2) Type of Mezzanine Floor:

Different types of mezzanines (e.g., warehouse, office, industrial) have varying costs depending on their complexity and the features you may need. Office mezzanine floors will inevitably need more doors and partitions, whilst industrial mezzanines might need goods lifts and fire-protection features.

3)  Features and Fixings:

Mezzanines may require fire-rated construction, including fire-resistant ceilings and stair enclosures. The level of fire protection (from 30 minutes to 1 hour) can increase the cost. Access features like staircases, lifts, or conveyors will also affect the overall cost. Goods lifts, in particular, are commonly used in warehouse mezzanine floors whilst office floors might just require standard staircases.

4) Custom Design and Fit-Out:

Mezzanine floors designed for office use may need partitioned rooms, welfare facilities, electrical wiring, HVAC systems, and custom flooring, all of which impact the cost.

5) Installation and Labour Costs:

Costs will vary depending on the complexity of the installation and the experience of the installer. A reputable mezzanine floor supplier like Teepee ensures qualified professionals handle the installation, adhering to health and safety standards.

How to Calculate Your Mezzanine Floor Costs

Calculating the cost of your mezzanine floor involves several steps:

1. Estimate Floor Area:

Start by calculating the square footage of the mezzanine area you need. Mezzanine floors can range from small platforms to extensive multi-tier systems. The cost is typically quoted per square meter, depending on load capacity.

2. Determine Load Capacity:

Industrial and warehouse mezzanines typically handle heavier loads (up to 1000 kg/m²), while office floors require much less. Higher load capacities will increase the cost.

3. Consider the Fitting Requirements:

If you’re looking for an office mezzanine with partitions, lighting, HVAC, and data cabling, these elements will significantly add to the base cost.

4. Add Fire Protection and Safety Costs:

Adding fire-rated ceilings, staircases, and smoke detection systems is essential for compliance with building regulations.

5. Account for Access Equipment:

Flat rates are typically offered for staircases, goods lifts, doors and dividers, depending on the size and weight capacity. This adds to the overall cost of the mezzanine.
