Mezzanine Decking Options for Des Moines Warehouses
Choose from our range of durable decking materials designed for different load requirements and operational needs

1. Advantech
One of the most common options for decking a mezzanine is to use corrugated steel decking material covered by a layer of Advantech. This decking method is considered to be our most economical selection and materials are readily available.

2. Bar Grating
Bar Grating is a unique decking solution for your mezzanine. Unlike materials like wood or steel, bar grating has an open construction, allowing light, air, and sprinkler systems to pass through. It is also slip-resistant making it safer to walk on than other decking options.

3. Diamond Plate
Diamond plate steel decking offers a durable, slip-resistant surface that is both lightweight and strong. This decking is commonly used in industrial settings where heavy loads are frequently moved. Its raised pattern provides excellent traction, making it ideal for busy areas with heavy foot or equipment traffic.

4. ResinDek
ResinDek is a high-performance composite panel system that is engineered to provide superior strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. These panels are typically made from a composite of resin and wood fibers, offering long-lasting durability and excellent load-bearing capabilities.
