Derived from the Italian word mezzo, meaning half or middle, a mezzanine is an intermediate level between the main floors of a building that is designed to create additional space.
While often incorporated as part of the design of a new building, mezzanines can also be added to existing facilities as a cheaper, quicker and less disruptive means of creating more space than modifying the building itself or moving to larger premises.
Mezzanine floors are common in distribution centres, manufacturing plants, commercial offices, educational facilities, retail stores and homes.
With practically no restrictions on their shape or dimensions, mezzanines are highly versatile structures and are used for a wide range of applications. Usually freestanding, they can generally be dismantled and relocated if required.
