Mezzanine Systems
Introducing the Thomas Panels and Profiles Mezzanine Floor Beam Range: A highly versatile and efficient solution for mezzanine floor installations, designed to meet a wide range of structural requirements.
Our beam range offers two section types to ensure flexibility: the C Section and the Sigma range. Both section types feature the same standard sizes and thicknesses as our purlins and rails, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems.

There are two primary section types available for mezzanine applications: the C Section range and the Sigma range. Both options align with the sizes and thicknesses commonly used for purlin and rail applications, making them ideal for mezzanine floor designs. Within these options, two installation methods are available: inset or oversail.
Installation
Inset Installation
In this method, the top flange of the beam is installed co-linear with the top flange of the main structural rafter. Cleats are then bolted or welded to the beam’s web.
This approach minimizes the length of the mezzanine sections and reduces the void space between the mezzanine floor and the bottom flange of the main supporting beams.
However, it’s important to account for the flange width of the main supporting beams during the design phase to ensure proper beam length, clearance, and hole positioning relative to the flanges.
Installation
Oversail Installation
The oversail method uses the same cleats found in purlin or rail applications, with sections installed in facing pairs, similar to the inset method.
While this method increases the size of the mezzanine sections, it can simplify the specification process since it eliminates the need to account for the variable flange width of the main beams.
Whichever installation method you choose, Thomas Panels and Profiles provides comprehensive design assistance. By supplying the dimensions and steel sizes of the main supporting frame, we can help you select the optimal beam configuration and ensure a smooth, efficient design process for your mezzanine floor system.
