At TecroOne, we distinguish between the 'floor', which is the existing surface where the mezzanine is installed, and the 'flooring', which is the new layer placed on top of the mezzanine structure to create a usable surface. This structural element distributes the weight of workers, equipment, machinery, or goods, ensuring the mezzanine's stability and safety.
Selecting the right flooring material for your mezzanine is crucial to ensure optimal performance. Depending on the loads to be supported and the work environment, you can choose a steel floor, ideal for heavy loads and demanding industrial conditions, or a wooden floor, which is lighter.
Wood panels offer a solid surface and are ideal for areas where quick and cost-effective installation is needed. Steel, on the other hand, is highly resistant and suitable for bearing heavy loads, making it a preferred choice in demanding industrial settings. Perforated steel combines the robustness of steel with the added benefit of allowing light and air to pass through, improving ventilation and lighting in the mezzanine.
There are different types of mezzanine flooring, depending on the intended use:
- Steel flooring: Ideal for heavy loads and demanding industrial environments. Galvanized steel is a common choice due to its strength and durability.
- Wooden flooring: Perfect for environments that don't require support for extremely heavy loads. Wooden flooring is lighter and more affordable, ideal for areas with lower load demands.
- Mixed flooring: A combination of materials, such as steel and wood or steel and concrete.
Depending on your needs, you can choose the type of flooring that best suits your project, always ensuring the mezzanine's structural strength and stability.
