In the world of industry and commerce, retail is valuable, and sometimes, finding an operation that provides enough of it for what you need to do, can be challenging.

Short of upscaling to a new property that provides for every nook and cranny you’ll be using, there are admittedly few solutions to this problem. Custom designed mezzanine floors, however, offer the perfect solution, and one that works with your needs.

WHAT ARE MEZZANINE FLOORS?

A mezzanine floor is often considered an intermediate one. They can be fitted into interior buildings with double-height ceilings to help take advantage of available vertical space. They never run through the extent of the floorspace, generally only providing secondary flooring over a partitioned section of it, accessible through stairs.

By doing this, they form a loft area where they are installed to practically double the amount of usable space.

This makes them popular in various industrial and commercial contexts, including warehousing where space is tantamount to money, factories where equipment takes up vast portions of available space, and even in retail to provide more areas for display or even storage.

With all this in mind, let’s take a closer look at how your business can benefit from using custom designed mezzanine floors in its setup.

MAKE THE MOST OF AVAILABLE SPACE

The major benefit to custom designed mezzanine floors concerns their primary function, which is to allow you to maximise how space in your workspaces to a capacity that can be scaled to suit your needs.

As mentioned above, warehouses and factories in particular have an abundance of vertical space which, as part of the typical infrastructure of the building, cannot be put to good use as it is.

Where high needs for storage of equipment, materials, and stock are concerned, as well as layouts that include shelving, racking, machinery, and equipment, factory, and warehouse floorspaces can reach capacity quickly, but all that vertical space is… well its just hanging in the air.

By introducing intermediate flooring in these spaces, supported by clever and safe design, this vertical space can be fully utilised depending on your needs.

PARTITION NEW AREAS IN AN OFFICE

An often-overlooked benefit of mezzanine flooring is how it allows you to effectively create and partition new work areas, particularly in an office space environment.

When put to creative design, mezzanine flooring gives facilities and workplaces an ideal way to create an entire floor that can separate departments or tasks within your business, and this can be done at a fraction of the cost to actual construction work, or indeed investing in more office spaces.

But when people think of mezzanine flooring, they often conjure up an image of industrial spaces, rustic and not ideal in terms of décor.

However, mezzanine flooring can be fitted with all those little extras that turn a space into an office space, such as carpets, skirting, and plug sockets.

This benefit makes custom design mezzanine flooring perfectly practical even outside of industrial contexts.

ENHANCE FLOOR SPACE AT LESS OF A COST

The next major benefit to mezzanine flooring is that it is, by comparison of any other way of increasing floor space, probably one of the more affordable ways of doing so.

Not only is it not time consuming and simple to install, but the materials that form its makeup are also remarkably cost-effective, without sacrificing on durability or quality.

It is far cheaper than moving your offices to a larger location, and definitely much cheaper than constructing new areas in the building.

But custom designed mezzanine flooring also has another trick up its sleeve, one that makes your facility a bit more energy efficient, effectively cutting utility bills for long-term savings.

These floors allow warm air to circulate through the workspace, which can make all the difference to comfort and costs to heating in winter.

A DESIGN THAT WORKS WELL AND LOOKS GREAT

While mezzanine flooring is primarily designed to be a purely functional solution, it does consider how aesthetics can impact the working environment. This is particularly true for where it is used in retail

contexts, where an eye-pleasing environment is an important part of your customers’ experience with you.

Having said that, mezzanine floors are maid to be so much more than simply durable, flexible, and affordable, they can, when coupled with the right design, look great in any context.

You might be happy with a rustic and exposed finish on your factory floor, but where added sheen is a concern, you can also opt for styles and designs that work with your space.

This is particularly true when opting for custom designed mezzanine floors that follow your own specifications.

VERSATILE USES

Unlike any other part of your building’s structure, mezzanine flooring offers a robust degree of versatility and flexibility. They can be used across various aspects of your workplace with relative ease, thanks to them not being a fixed part of the infrastructure.

With the right skills and attention, mezzanine floors can be relatively easily disassembled at a moment’s notice, and reconstructed elsewhere for a different purpose.

This is particularly practical in situations where they are serving as a temporary solution, and you might be moving to a different space soon. Because when moving day comes, it can be easily disassembled and taken with you.

This makes custom designed mezzanine flooring entirely versatile, even when only being used for a temporary solution.

HOW LINBIN BOXES BENEFIT YOUR BUSINESS

Adequate organisation and storage are often overlooked facets of running any type of facility. The sheer number of tools, parts, and materials that need to be used and stored correctly, both for organisation and protection, can be staggering. Because of this, industrial and commercial facilities need to find a solution that ensures proper organisation and safety, and Linbins do just that.

Here are some of the top benefits of using them in your business:

A DURABLE OR CHEAP SOLUTION

Depending on your approach to storage, you need a solution that is either cost-effective and easy to replace, or durable enough to serve you indefinitely. Ideally, you want a solution that offers both. Plastic Linbins are ideal for this. They are both exceptionally affordable which makes them a good go-to solution, and are durable enough to last.

ENHANCED FACILITY SAFETY

The way you handle storage has a lot to do with personnel safety. If tools and materials are stacked in a ramshackle of mounting piles, the risk of injury from them falling or being displaced is higher than you should be comfortable with. By simply storing them correctly and securely in Linbins, you will significantly reduce the danger posed by stored items.

EASY TO TAKE CARE OF

Where plastic Linbins are concerned, taking care of them is simple. They are easy to clean and highly durable which means you won’t have to consistently focus on keeping them in good condition.

IMPROVED FLOOR SPACE & EFFICIENCY

The primary function of Linbins is to enhance organisation in facilities, whether this means decluttering floor space and surface areas, or simply improving efficiency of production tasks by knowing where to find and store various items, without having to waste time searching. It might not seem like this would make a big difference, but every second saved means a more efficient turnover, which means better profitability for you.

From simple lockers and filing cabinets to more sophisticated storage solutions like racking and Linbins, each facility has its own specialised requirements for storage that accounts for even the most basic parts of their operational efficiency and safety.

Whether storage is important for workplace efficiency and organisation, or something as critical as personnel safety, there is a lot to be said about what the right solution can do to enhance nearly all areas of efficiency in several settings.

But identifying your needs for storage is not something that always comes easy, and sometimes requires a complex combination of different solutions being used at once, so knowing which solutions are available to you and which are ideal for different situations, can help you make a more informed decision.

Our team of bolt on shelving manufacturers in Johannesburg can help you with just that. The next time you find yourself considering storage solutions for your business, ask yourself the following questions:

WHY DO I NEED STORAGE?

There are plenty of different reasons why a facility might need to up its storage capacity, with the two major ones being improved organisation and enhanced facility safety.

Storage solutions designed to enhance organisation build on your facility’s efficiency since every needed tool or material can be accounted for and found without any issue when it is needed. Less time spent gathering resources and equipment means more efficient productivity.

Secondly, the maintenance of facility safety means ensuring that there are no unnecessary obstacles on any surface or floor areas that might pose a risk to personnel. These items need to be stored correctly to mitigate the dangers they pose, making this a common reason for sourcing a storage solution in facilities.

As an added bonus, the right approach to storage will also ensure additional protection for sensitive materials and tools, which means less money spent on replacing or repairing them later.

The reasons behind your choice will affect whether something like shelving or racking would be better than cabinets or boxes, so its important to understand why you need storage, and how that will affect the solution you choose.

HOW PERMANENT IS MY SOLUTION?

The next thing to think about is how long and how frequently storage will be used. If you only need a temporary solution, a more cost-effective one might be the answer, so too could something a bit more versatile like racking.

If, however, the solution is meant to be a fixture, it would be better to opt for a more robust solution like filing cabinets or shelving.

WHAT IS MY BUDGET?

Ah the elephant in the room, none of us particularly like speaking about budgetary limitations but here we are. Shelving solutions obviously cost money, both in terms of investment and upkeep, so be sure to consider both to ensure that your chosen solution is not only affordable, but also practical.

In many instances your storage needs will call for you to ignore your budget to get the exact solution you need. But when your budget is a concern, consider more affordable options like shelving and Linbins.

DO MY STORED ITEMS NEED ADDITIONAL PROTECTION?

This is an often-overlooked consideration, and it is an important one, because there are many types of products or materials that need a little extra protection in storage, whether it be from static, damp, dust or any other of the host of hazards commonly found in industrial or commercial settings.

Packaging used for additional protection comes in many forms depending on what it needs to protect against, including bubble wrap, pallet wrap, packaging and masking tape, and much more. It might be a good idea for you to consult with your storage solution supplier to ensure you get the right packaging for your needs.
