Long-lasting Fire Protection to Mezzanine Floors

If you’re involved in the warehouse and storage sector, then you understand how vital it is to implement long-lasting passive fire protection systems to ensure the safety of your products, staff, property and business reputation. More than just complying with building regulations and fire codes, our inconspicuous mezzanine floor fire protection allows you to reduce potential property loss by safeguarding your floors for up to four hours! Cost-effective to purchase and easy to install and paint, our fire protection for mezzanine floors allows you to take action now and safeguard your stock and your workers against possible future damage.

Large storage areas, busy warehouses and all offices located on mezzanine floors require fireproofing by law, so take advantage of the great prices we offer on column cladding and fire rated fascias and ask us how we can help you take preventative measures against fire! Even if your floor is storage-only, you may wish to add to your existing smoke detectors with proper mezzanine floor fire protection, which can save you a great deal of hassle and revenue by protecting your goods during the outbreak of a fire.

How Fire Protection to Mezzanine Floors Works

Steel Build Masters fire resistant fascias are applied to the exposed edges of the mezzanine to give them hard-wearing protection against burning and other wear and tear that they could be exposed to. We also supply both square and circular column casings to assist your columns in withstanding the heat of a fire for longer. Particularly if you have a multi-tier mezzanine installation, you may wish to discuss our most durable products to ensure a safe and protected means of escape from the building, especially for retail environments.

Although our column casements and fascias require no further decoration after being installed, we can supply them in a wide array of colours and finishes to save you time and better suit your interior design scheme.

There’s no need to fret if fire protection wasn't a part of the original build and installation of your mezzanine floors; we can fabricate sheet metal and cladding to fit your exact specifications and we can tailor our services to suit your budget! Just give us the details we need pertaining to your mezzanine floor and we can devise a passive fire protection plan which will cover and cap off any of the exposed columns and edges that comprise your mezzanine structure.
