Key Highlights from the Video
In this video, Panel Built engineers answer seven common questions about industrial mezzanines:
- How Long Does Mezzanine Installation Take? Installation typically takes between one and six weeks, depending on the structure's size, height, and complexity.
- What Are Mezzanines Used For? Mezzanines create additional usable floor space for storage, offices, and other applications by taking advantage of a facility's available vertical space.
- Do Mezzanines Require Building Permits? Permit requirements depend on the local jurisdiction. Panel Built can work with customers to help determine the requirements for their projects.
- How Much Weight Can a Mezzanine Hold? A common design load is 125 pounds per square foot (PSF), although Panel Built can engineer mezzanines for lighter or heavier loads, including 250 PSF and above.
- What Flooring Options Are Available? Options discussed include bar grating, B-deck, diamond plate, smooth plate, and plywood.
- Can Mezzanines Be Relocated? Panel Built's bolt-together mezzanines can be disassembled and relocated, provided the appropriate equipment is available and the structure is suitable for the new location.
- How Tall Can a Mezzanine Be? Height depends on the application, available space, and applicable building codes. Panel Built has completed elevated structures reaching approximately 45 feet.
