Transform your retail space with a bespoke retail mezzanine
Getting it right
Different applications demand different solutions, and a mezzanine in a front of house position comes with its own unique challenges, and possibilities. A mezzanine floor could be a game changer in your retail unit, but if you want your new mezzanine to pay dividends, then it is important to get it right.
Your mezzanine, working with you and not against
A customer facing mezzanine has to consider how you move about the shop space below the mezzanine as well as above. We can’t tell your shop planner how to arrange the space below your new mezzanine, however we can work with them to ensure our column layout works with, and not against your vision.
Form and function
A good retail mezzanine has to tick a lot of boxes. It must be functional, naturally, but it also has to look good as well.
You need a robust edge protection system, one that can resist increased lateral loads, is free of gaps and traps, to keep your customers safe whilst looking great. You will also need a staircase that looks just as good as the mezzanine balustrade, getting your customers onto your new mezzanine in safety and style.
Getting off the mezzanine is just as important, so we consider fire safety in your mezzanine design, ensuring adequate escape paths and optimal travel distances according to the guidance set out in the regulations, as well as applying common sense.
Best laid plans – strong results begin with intelligent planning
You also need your mezzanine to integrate with other services and systems. If you need a lift or a conveyor, we can work with your layout planner and your lift contractor to ensure everything is a perfect fit at point of install, as well as making sure everything flows properly for the end user.
Quickline can take care of all building control applications, as well as the planning permission needed for retail units. We’re great with people too, working closely with you, and any contractors involved in your project, to ensure that we do whatever is required to help realise your vision for your retail project.
Retail Mezzanine Floor Benefits
It’s a given that a retail mezzanine will create more space, but the optimum solution will do so much more for your business than simply increase sales area.
Improved Merchandising: With extra available space, you can display a wider range of products and create visually appealing displays potentially leading to increased sales as customers are presented with a more extensive selection.
Cost-Effective Expansion: A good mezzanine could eliminate the need to expand or move to bigger premises, offering a quicker and more affordable way to accommodate growth or changing retail needs with minimal downtime.
Flexibility and Adaptability: Retail mezzanines are semi-permanent structures, which means they are customisable and can adapt to changing business requirements. Whether you need to reconfigure the space, amend or relocate the mezzanine, it can evolve with your business.
Enhanced Customer Experience: A well-designed mezzanine can create an elevated and engaging shopping environment, making it more attractive to customers and giving your shop space an edge over the competition. It can provide a sense of spaciousness, privacy for specialised areas, or a vantage point for customers to view the entire store, as well as putting some of your stock on a pedestal when viewed from below.
Extra sales area without a sea of columns: We’ve all been in a shop with poorly positioned mezzanine columns. A properly developed retail mezzanine will have a lot of attention paid to column location. Working with closely your shop planner means we can integrate and hide columns so your customer has access to everything they need, seeing only your sales inventory, and not the structure.
