A mezzanine floor is a smaller floor located between the main floors of a building. The floor may come out of one side of the building and only extend a certain way across, meaning that it doesn’t cover the full area of the building and therefore isn’t considered one of the main floors.
Plus, because a mezzanine floor does not extend across the whole area of the building, it means that the mezzanine floor and the floor below usually share the same ceiling.
What type of mezzanine floors exist?
Typically, a mezzanine floor will extend out of the internal walls of the building. However, in the case of industrial mezzanines (for example, in warehouses), this aesthetic quality may not be required. This allows the operators of the building to construct a free-standing mezzanine floor which is held up by metal columns extending from the floor. There may then be a lift or set of stairs attached for access.
