The Benefits of Custom Mezzanines

When you run a growing business, expanding your workspace doesn’t always mean building out or buying more real estate. In many industrial and commercial environments, vertical space is underutilized—space that could be transformed into highly functional work areas using a custom mezzanine system from Panel Built.

Whether you need more room for offices, storage, or safe access to equipment, modular mezzanines offer a cost-effective and adaptable way to maximize your facility’s footprint.

Custom mezzanines are elevated platforms designed to fit within your existing building structure, making use of overhead space that would otherwise go unused. Think of it as installing a bookshelf—except instead of books, you’re creating valuable floor space for people, equipment, or storage.

Key Benefits:

• Make use of existing vertical space

• Avoid costly renovations or real estate expansion

• Custom-built to fit your facility layout

• Prefabricated and easy to install

• Durable steel or cold-rolled options available

• Can be relocated or reconfigured as your needs change

Panel Built mezzanines are engineered for versatility, with systems tailored to a wide range of workplace needs.

Mezzanine Offices

Adding an office above your shop or warehouse floor is an space-saving and simple way to separate management and administrative teams from production zones. Elevated offices provide quieter, cleaner, and more professional workspaces while still offering a clear line of sight to the operations below.

Catwalks & Walkways

Need to move safely above machinery or gain a better view of operations? Mezzanine catwalks provide elevated pathways that improve visibility and workflow while meeting OSHA safety standards. Panel Built catwalks include guardrails and are fully customizable to your layout.

Storage Space

Mezzanines are ideal for adding elevated storage areas for inventory, tools, or equipment—without interrupting the work below. For heavy-duty storage needs, our steel mezzanines provide superior strength and durability. Or, if you're looking for something lighter, we also offer cold-rolled mezzanines, an economical alternative perfect for storing lighter goods.

Panel Built offers both structural steel and cold-rolled steel mezzanine systems:

• Structural Steel Mezzanines – Maximum durability, high load capacity, long-term use.

• Cold-Rolled Mezzanines – Lightweight, lower cost, easier to ship and install. Ideal for light-duty storage or office spaces.

• Flooring (metal, wood, laminate, or concrete-ready)

• Lighting and electrical hookups

• Windows, doors, and insulation

• HVAC and temperature control

• Lockable entry points for secure access

• Under-mezzanine lighting using modular wiring by our sister company, Power Built
