Used Mezzanine Floors- Technical Details
Such descriptions whilst given as a guide, in good faith, are subject to alteration by the Seller without notice. All weights and dimensions are approximate only. All maximum load capacities stated are for evenly distributed loads only. Mezz9.com ltd can check the steelwork through our multi-suite mezzanine software, all steelwork placed into the computer is generally based at the lowest specification in kg/m, column thickness and purlin thickness.

Although Mezz9.com ltd check the used mezzanine floors for correct usage on live loads/dead loads, we cannot be held responsible for supplying full structural calculations. Mezz9.com Ltd insurance will not cover for a third-party installation or third-party fabrication. Although we endeavour to be 100% correct, this cannot be guaranteed due to not having the source of the materials. We always advise that you contact a structural engineer who will then be insured to give you loadings for building control and bearing pressures for the concrete slab.

 

Floors were Abutting Existing Floors: We will need to measure the existing floor height accurately (at point of survey) where it is to join the new floor.  A hole will need to be drilled through the adjoining wall (by others) to allow measurement to be taken prior to manufacture.  This will help with the installation to allow our operatives to pack up columns to the correct level.  We will allow for packing columns adjacent to existing floors to try and match levels.  Please be aware that we can only pack to +/- 2mm of existing level.  Whilst every effort will be made to match levels at column points, due to joist deflection the floor cannot be guaranteed to match along its entire length.  Please note we only adjust those columns adjacent to the adjoining floor, we do not adjust any existing floor columns.  The remaining columns on our floor are all set to the same length and hence the mezzanine floor will follow to the levels of the ground slab.  Please note that where our decking is abutting an existing floor, we cannot guarantee that the decking will be a perfect join due to cutting tolerances and existing decking cuts.  Options of a thin steel joining plate are available at an extra cost.

 

Used Mezzanine Floors – Ground Slab Design & Base Plates Designs: Mezz9.com Ltd have not designed the used mezzanine floors and therefore cannot take any responsibility for costs or failure in the ground slab or alterations to the base plates. Most of the used mezzanine floors would have been built by “new” mezzanine floor suppliers in the Uk and therefore should have been built to these codes “The thickness & design of our baseplates will be in accordance with “Eurocode 3 – Design of steel structures” and “BS5950-1 Structural use of steelwork in building”.  On pre-delivery checks Mezz9.com ltd use these measurements as stated below, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to check the concrete slab prior to installation.

 

Underlying Foundation & Soil Details for Used Mezzanine Floor Base Plate Checks: Slab thickness 150mm, Blinding 50mm, Hardcore depth 150mm, Soil bearing 80kN/m2. Foundation angles, concrete spread 30 degrees, hardcore spread 45 degrees.

POINTS TO CONSIDER BEFORE YOU START INSTALLATION:

• LOOSE LAY OR GLUE tiles can be installed over any hard surface and in most situations will not require gluing. We recommend gluing the tiles in the following situations:
• DIRECT SUNLIGHT (Shop fronts, south facing loading bay, sky lights etc.) It is advisable to glue the tiles in areas subject to direct sunlight such as glass fronted entrance foyers, shop fronts, south facing loading bay doors etc. It is possible that the tiles in direct sunlight will get extremely hot and expand at a faster and higher rate than the remainder of the floor.
• HEAVY TRUCKS AND/OR TIGHT TURNING CIRCLES - Certain forklift and pallet truck designs can cause a problem, heavy trucks with small wheels, especially electric trucks where the battery is located over the main drive wheel. If you use this type of vehicle, we strongly advise you to test the tiles with the trucks before deciding on which thickness to use (7 or 10mm Mezz9.Com Ltd and/or consider gluing the tiles.
• EXTERNAL HEAT SOURCES / CATALYTIC CONVERTERS: Ovens, furnaces and catalytic converters can make the floor extremely hot and may cause the tiles to expand. To avoid this problem, glue the tiles in the exposed area. We recommend a minimum expansion gap of 5mm is left against any wall or fixed equipment.
• STAINING / DISCOLOURING • STAINING FROM RUBBER TYRES: It is possible that certain rubber tyres and wheels may stain the tile (and many other types of flooring). This is a result of a chemical reaction that occurs between the anti-oxidant that is used in some rubbers and the plasticizer used in vinyl. The stain/reaction is brown in colour so is less visible in certain colours of tile (dark grey, graphite and black). Mezz9.com Ltd recommends that if your application is susceptible to staining from tyres, you consider application of our anti-colour /antistain 2 part solvent free waterborne polyurethane sealer. Please contact us for further information. Mezz9.com Ltd do not accept responsibility for the tiles stained by tyres and therefore recommend using the darker colours in the areas used for parking vehicles.

Covid 19 Policy

We continue to monitor the progression of the outbreak of Covid-19 and Government response levels.  Our principal focus is the welfare of our employees at the same time as balancing the need to maintain our supply chains and manage disruption to our distribution and manufacturing operations and the impact on everyday life.  Our business is strictly following Government guidelines on how to mitigate the risks of transmission of Covid-19 both in the office and on site and will continue to as updates are released:

On-Site Workers:

Presently, and until the Government advise otherwise, we can travel to and from work where necessary. Some of our customers projects serve front line operations and as such are currently open and are deemed essential. We ask that our Supply Chains do everything possible, whilst observing the requirements set out by the Government, to support us at this time of significant difficulty.

 

Business Impacts:

 

As a business, we carry a certain level of stock to service our customers and during this time we are committed to keeping these stocks at the maximum levels where feasible.  Due to the volatile supply for raw materials, there are some delays we advise to be contact us for lead times and these are changing daily.

Although we believe the actions, we have put in place are appropriate for the current levels of risk, they are under constant review, and we will continue to monitor things in line with Government recommendations.
