You can install a Tecrostar mezzanine without any construction work or special tools. You can install it yourself easily and safely. The most outstanding feature of the kits is that one structure can have multiple height, width and length configurations. They are mezzanines in kits, in modules, adjustable, extendable and customisable. The following demo videos show how they work.

After understanding how they work, the next thing you need to do is choose the structure that best suits your needs. To do this, we shall focus on the height at which you want to assemble your mezzanine. There are 4 ranges according to the height and each range has various mezzanines according to the surface area:

“S” Range- From 63" to 91 6/8" high

Perfect for making a mezzanine, loft bed, a modern micro-loft in the home or office or for creating a small storage space in the garage or attic.

“M” Range- From 67 3/4" to 110 3/4" high

Perfect for creating a small office, living room or storage space in a garage or a warehouse.

“L” Range- From 82 1/4" to 134 5/8" high

Much more than a mezzanine. For large spaces in work areas or light storage.

“XL” Range- From 92 1/2" to 149 1/2" high

Mezzanine for industrial use, it enables pallet jacks and shelving units to be used.

We might have various models of mezzanine that meet the dimensions you need. In this case, follow these criteria:

1- Load-bearing capacity

2- Maximum span (distance between columns)

3- Beam height

4- Height of the mezzanine above the decking you need

The metallic Tecrostar mezzanines of the S, M and L ranges support a uniformly distributed load of 40,96 lb/ft² (that means that you can place a 40,96 lb distributed load on each square ft). This is the live load for residential uses according to the international regulations. The total maximum load will be 40,96 lb by the ft² of the mezzanine.

The steel pieces of the structures, railing posts and stringers of the stairs are available in:

• Black and white. Available in stock without additional costs.

In both cases the paint is a lacquer with maximum adhesion applied by electrostatic process with polyester powder paint, suitable for outdoors.

Yes, it does. They are structural boards made of 18mm thick european radiata pine plywood. They have tongue-and-groove joints in their four sides.

Length: 81 7/8"

Width: 24"

Thickness: 3/4"

No, they are not. However, there are other possible combinations between ranges, in which the performance and configuration of the standard product changes (see diagram).

Low railing:

Compatible with mezzanines of the S, M and L ranges. To go ahead with the installation, you must purchase one angular strut from the corresponding mezzanine range for each railing post.

Compatible with the mezzanines of the XL range. To go ahead with the installation, you must purchase one M/L angular strut and one Adapter for Accessories in Primary Beam XL for each railing post.

Loft bed railing S, Railing S, 4-Tubes railing S and Panel railing S:

Compatible with S range mezzanines: No additional accessories are required.

Compatible with the M and L range mezzanines: To go ahead with the installation, you must purchase one M/L angular strut for each railing post. Please note that the height of the handrail is reduced.

Compatible with the mezzanine of the XL range: To go ahead with the installation, you must purchase one M/L post clamp and one Adapter for Accessories in Primary Beam XL for each handrail post. Please note that the height of the railing is reduced.

Railing M, 4-Tubes railing M and Panel railing M:

These are not compatible with S range mezzanines.

Compatible with the M and L range mezzanines: No additional accessories are required.

Compatible with the XL range mezzanines: To go ahead with the installation, you must purchase one Adapter for Accessories in Primary Beam XL for each railing post.

Railing with safety skirting board L and Public use railing L:

These are not compatible with S range mezzanines.

Compatible with the M and L range mezzanines: No additional accessories are required.

Compatible with the XL range mezzanines: To go ahead with the installation, you must purchase one Adapter for Accessories in Primary Beam XL for each railing post.

Railing with safety skirting board XL:

These are not compatible with S range mezzanines.

Compatible with the M, L and XL range mezzanines: No additional accessories are required.

All TecroStar railings are designed for installation on our mezzanines. The Railing with safety skirting board XL is the most recommended for installation on other surfaces.

This is not recommended, as to cover a space with reduced height (i.e.: attics, irregular/low ceilings, etc.) we recommend installing the Low Railing instead. This particular railing model will allow the height of the railing posts to be adjusted to the client's taste.

That depends. The railing kits are 78 3/4" long. You will have to calculate how many kits you need.

Yes, they are. Unless otherwise specified in the accesory description.

Once the product has left our facilities, the normal transport time is between 6 and 8 weeks. The transport time varies greatly and is difficult to control due to many factors: Place of delivery, local holidays, customs, etc.

If we cannot meet this delivery time, we will contact you.

Mezzanines are shipped in boxes by an external company in a lorry with a tail lift that enables the box to be unloaded to the ground (at street level at the customer’s address).

Depending on your order you can receive different packages: One box for the mezzanines of the S and M ranges or two boxes for L mezzanines.

Length: 94"

Width: 112"

Height: 21 1/4"

The stairs can share the box with the mezzanines if they are purchased at the same time or you can have a separate box for the stairs. Check the stairs section.

Tecrostar Mezzanines are movable assets referred to in Article 335 of the spanish Civil Code: “all the items that can be transported from one place to another without detriment to the property to which they were attached are considered as movable assets”

Moreover, the article 334.3 of the same code excludes Tecrostar mezzanines from the immovable property concept defining the later ones as “everything attached to the property in a fixed manner, that can not be separated from it without breaking the matter or deteriorating the object…”,

Every customer will have to make the opportune checks on the existing legal requirements of each country and/or region in regards to this type of structures. Aspects such as the use, the surface and the location of the mezzanine will need to be taken into account then.

FIRE RESISTANCE OF THE MATERIALS INCLUDED IN TECROSTAR MEZZANINES

Tecrostar mezzanines are formed by several pieces of different materials and coatings, therefore the classification of the fire resistance (reaction to fire) is different depending on the material. This fire reaction classification of the construction products and building elements is defined in the european standard EN 13501-1, commonly called Euroclasses.

The classification of each material type used in Tecrostar mezzanines is indicated down below:

 FIRE STABILITY OF TECROSTAR MEZZANINES

Tecrostar metallic mezzanines have a bearing structure formed by columns, steel primary beams and steel secondary beams, as well as steel connectors and screws. This structure is not endowed with neither any type of passive protection nor intumescent treatment. Because of that, a fire stability greater than the one provided by the steel on its own is not guaranteed (no longer than 10 minutes, according to the literature related to steel construction).

The fire stability requirement of a mezzanine during a certain time will be determined by the usage of it (above and under it). It is the responsibility of the owner to comply with the current legislation applicable in the town where the mezzanine is located. Depending on whether the mezzanine is installed in an industrial environment or in a domestic atmosphere, on its size, location, etc. the regulation can or not demand a certain fire stability to that bearing structure.

You can consult with Tecrostar technical department for further information.

Our product is totally detachable and reusable. Therefore, it can be considered as movable property. This feature, always depending on each country’s current legislation, allows its use and installation inside any dwelling, garage, plot or industrial unit with no need for planning permission.

For instance, under the Spanish regulations, detachable mezzanines are considered as movable property, and they do not require planning permission in order to be installed.

Following this logic and due to the characteristics above mentioned, TecroStar mezzanines should not be catalogued as part of the built-up area. Hence, our platforms should be under the same legal regime as machinery, shelves, racks, vehicles, etc.

Regardless of this consideration, on each one of the projects the Client must check in advance whether the load capacity of the building where the mezzanine is to be installed is sufficient, as well as the most up-to-date current legislation.
