Space- a problem that all businesses seem to share, especially while starting out. Not only are a lot of businesses looking at a potential monopoly, but renting or buying warehouses and similar storage spaces is becoming very expensive as time goes by. Once your business begins growing, it may be difficult for the resulting budget to catch up.
If you are running a business, you have to make the most of what you’ve got- often that is limited manpower, a budget that is never enough and space that runs out too quickly. Mezzanine floors are a solution that can potentially double production and storage efficiency for the price of a single space.
Minimum Effort, Maximum Efficiency
Like the old Judo saying goes, Mezzanine floors are the perfect warehouse storage solutions that neither break your back nor your pockets. They are all about maximizing the usage of an already present space without having to add more.
- In terms of budget
Mezzanine floors are cheap in both material and construction, especially when compared to having to set up yet another storage space. In comparison, that is twice the work space for the cost of a single area.
- In terms of uses
They are actually quite flexible, and can be used for a different number of uses. The first, of course, would be for storage and inventory. The second use for mezzanine floors are as offices- they are strong and stable enough to hold not just boxes. Think of it as a makeshift, indoor loft office- this is much cheaper than having to buy and set up a new work space for employees. It can even be used to create a recreation area.
- In terms of safety
By nature, mezzanine floors are highly resistant to flammable objects. They also prevent the need to pile boxes too high, one on top of the other, which increases safety not only for roaming employees but also for the stored items themselves. Moreover they can be easily accessible through easy slope safety steps.
- In terms of flexibility
These floors are very lightweight and easy to handle. Installation is very quick and easy, and adjustment presents no hassle in case changes need to be made to the environment.
- In terms of space
Finally, since you will be installing a makeshift second floor, you will have essentially doubled your storage space without having to mess with the room itself, instead of having to purchase a new space as your business and inventory grow.
It’s an old, cheap solution to a very modern, very expensive problem, one that most businesses and warehouses have adopted. It will allow you to take advantage of every single square feet without any potential waste.
The important thing in business is to gain a lot more than you put out. Mezzanine floors ring true to this concept, and will allow you to keep adding more and more space, for as long as they are still available, without having to have an extra budget for more rooms. This, in turn, will directly increase your revenue and efficiency, cutting out what would have been double your budget and turning it into double your existing space.
