How is it installed?

To install Tecrostar mezzanines you need 2 adults (they do not need to be DIY experts). It is recommendable to use personal safety equipment like gloves, boots, etc. in order to avoid accident.

When installing range L mezzanines you may need to use some type of scaffolding or ladder for working at heights and manual or electric lifting machinery to raise the primary beams, particularly if the structure is more than 3m high. The other ranges can be lifted easily by hand.

You will need the following tools to install the mezzanines: tape measure, some type of spanner for m10 and m8 bolts and a screwdriver (an electric screwdriver will make the task much easier), spirit level, drill and a tool for cutting the panels (saw, jigsaw, circular saw, etc.)

You can find all the tools required to assemble it and tested by Tecrostar in the tools section.

All the models are installed by following these steps:

Pre-assemble the structure on the floor in the desired area.

Raise the outer structure to the desired height.

Finish assembling the structure and floor.


What is the delivery time?

For products in stock (white and black for S, M and L ranges), the delivery time will be approximately 5 working days from placing the order. Once the product has left our facilities, the normal transport time is between 7 and 10 working days. 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.


Can I install the mezzanine in my apartment? Will the structural floor bear the weight?

Yes, you can. As they are manufactured with light steel profiles with a high yield point they are very light and the load per column is very low. The only restriction is the storage load on the mezzanine: instead of 200kg/m², it may be reduced to 800kg for the whole mezzanine.  A home with a concrete structure usually supports a point load of at least 200kg on a surface of 5x5cm. The T8 mezzanine weighs 199kg and the T15 mezzanine weighs 356kg, both weights are distributed over 4 columns. You can install either of these two metal mezzanines in your home, provided that the load stored on them is limited.  Ask Tecrostar about the specific features of your project.


Does the kit include the flooring boards?

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: 2335 mm

Width: 610 mm

Thickness: 18 mm


Can the stairs be placed outdoors?

Yes, our products can be installed outdoors, although you should bear in mind a series of special considerations and carry out maintenance of the material to guarantee that they are in good condition. See this section for more details


Can the stairs be anchored to a mezzanine or construction wall?

Yes. They can be installed on a surface that is not a Tecrostar surface. The customer must bear in mind that they are responsible for the strength of the joint and structure to which they are anchored.


How are the stairs anchored to the top?

If you need to anchor the stairs to a structure that is not a Tecrostar structure, see the following details about the anchors:

Faq Sections

Before starting
You should understand that...

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.


Which mezzanine do I need?

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 160cm to 233cm 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 172cm to 281cm high

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

“L” Range- From 209cm to 342cm high

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

“XL” Range- From 235cm to 380cm high

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

How do I receive my order?

It will be delivered in one or various boxes, depending on the order (check this section to see the dimensions of the boxes). The box contains everything you need to assemble it at its maximum height and surface area.


Is it a customised mezzanine? How does the Tecrostar system work?

No, it is not a customised mezzanine but its telescopic design enables an almost customised finish. This system is length and height adjustable, achieving the preferred measurements. The components are small and light (less than 2.4m) and are easy to transport, in lifts, fitting through doors or windows to the place of installation, as the beams are spliced in the middle.

The height of all models can be adjusted at 12cm intervals and the length at 10cm intervals. So the mezzanine can be adjusted from its minimum values to its maximum values at these intervals.

Mezzanines
What load do the mezzanines support?

The metallic Tecrostar mezzanines of the S, M and L ranges support a uniformly distributed load of 200 kg/m² (that means that you can place a 200 kg distributed load on each square meter). This is the live load for residential uses according to the international regulations. The total maximum load will be 200 kg by the square meters of the mezzanine.

The XL mezzanines support higher loads, 500 kg/m² (considered as medium storage) and their usage is more industrial. However, they can also have a domestic use when more resistance and rigidity is required. The bearing board included in the XL kits is thicker, more resistant and allows point loads (pallet truck, racks) as well. Ask Tecrostar the permissible values of these point loads.


What are the available colours and finishes for the mezzanines?

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.

  • Any RAL monolayer colour. The personalized colour has an additional cost formed by two different parts: a unique and fixed cost of 95 € that is specified after adding the items to the cart, and a percentage cost that is specified in the price of each product when choosing RAL colour option.

The delivery time of the personalized colour option is longer than usual, so it is recommended to ask the Customer Service Department about the delivery times.

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


Does the kit include the flooring boards?

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: 2335 mm

Width: 610 mm

Thickness: 18 mm

Stairs
What types of stairs are there in mezzanineshongkong.com?

You can choose between several types of stairs:

  • Straight stairs

  • Spiral stairs

  • Ladders

  • Retractable ladders

  • Alternating tread stairs


Where can I put the stairs?

The stairs can be placed in different positions, increasing the possible configurations

Case 1: Exterior stairs, perpendicular to the mezzanine.

Case 2: Interior stairs. You will need a beam for interior stairs.

Case 3: Exterior stairs, parallel to the mezzanine. You will need a stair landing.

Case 4: A different placement to our mezzanines.


Are the stairs compatible with different ranges?

Yes, provided that the height matches. All our stairs can be located in any of our structures. As the structures, the stairs are height-adjustable. We have several different types of stairs, to ensure the height compatibility with the selected mezzanine.

Railings
Are the railings compatible among the different ranges?

No, they aren’t.


Can the height of the railing be reduced?

Yes. This modification is on behalf of the customer. It is possible to cut the railing and reduce its height.


Does one flank of railing cover an entire side of the mezzanine?

That depends. The railing kits are 2 meters long. You will have to calculate how many kits you need.

Extensions
Do they support the same weight as the main structure?

Yes. They have the exact same specifications as the initial structure.


Can I add an extension in the future?

Yes, you can add an extension to an existing mezzanine. You do not need to buy both structures at the same time.


Can an extension be installed to a mezzanine from a different range?

No, the extension cannot be integrated and share columns. However, structures can be placed side by side and achieve continuity of the floor but you will not save any columns and there will be two columns together at the joints.


Accesories
Are the accessories compatible with all the mezzanines?

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

How do I get the product up to my home?

Don't be alarmed by the total weight of the product, the components are light and manageable, so you can move them easily and take them up in the lift.  The heaviest components are the primary beams from the L range (39 kg), the rest of the ranges are considerably lighter (12kg).  The floor panels are very light and fit in any lift. No component is more than 2.4m long and therefore, fits in most lifts.


Technical Guarantee Section
Design and manufacturing process

Our production line is designed around quality standards, special attention being paid to safety and functionality. Being in close contact with our customers enables us to detect many improvements and new products and needs that help us to constantly improve.

Firstly, we study the market, analysing social needs and demands and observing existing products. Then, we consider the alternatives, as regards possible development options, from which we choose the most appropriate. To develop the idea, the suppliers involved and the schedule are considered.

The next step is the preliminary product design, outlining diagrams and plans, defining the preliminary characteristics and estimating costs. Next, we conduct a feasibility study and design the prototype. After that, the calculations and assembly are carried out, using the plans of the prototype and detailed drawings and the materials and finishes are selected. After these stages of the manufacturing process, the first product is tested to verify validation. If everything is correct, the prototype is requested, the technical and assembly documents are compiled, the prototype is tested and it is tested and assembled, any possible operation and assembly problems being noted.

A validation test is carried out again and, if all the conclusions are optimal, the product is standardised based on technical and commercial procedures. In the final phase of the process, the detailed drawings are prepared, the products are coded and the manuals are designed. The descriptions are then written up, the images are designed and the product videos are edited. Finally, the prices are set and it goes on sale.
