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 accidents.
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.
No, you don’t. Our products are completely removable and reusable, therefore, they are considered as PERSONAL PROPERTY.
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.
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.
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
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
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.

TecroStar products can be installed outdoors (in the open), provided that the following considerations are taken into account, which define the structural, environmental and material maintenance calculation conditions.
Products with wooden components and load-bearing floors can be installed outdoors or in humid environments when a specific waterproofing treatment for wood is applied and maintenance is carried out on a regular basis.
It is not advisable to install products with electrical components outdoors.
If you want to install Tecrostar products outdoors or in humid environments, we recommend you to request the waterproof treatment that provides additional protection to the steel parts, increasing their durability against those atmospheric conditions that can cause corrosion.
Structural Calculation Considerations
Outdoor installation involves forces due to snow and wind, which depend on the geographical location, altitude of the site, etc. These actions have been taken into account in the calculation, with certain maximum values that must be compared with those of the area where it is installed, to ensure that these limits are not exceeded.
The value of the snow load corresponding to the zone must be subtracted from the use overload supported by the mezzanine to the dimensions that have been installed. As a guide value, TecroStar structures can be considered to withstand a minimum use overload of 200 kg/m², and therefore the load of snow that a mezzanine can withstand outdoors is very high.
The mezzanine can be installed as a canopy outdoors by installing the stability kit, contemplating the case of a complete obstruction when it is placed against a façade, or free if it allows air to pass through its lower part. A wind speed of 100 km/h is taken as a reference. The regulations of each locality must be consulted to check that these limits are not exceeded.
Under no circumstances should the sides of the building be closed, as this implies greater horizontal forces that are not included in the calculation.
The columns of the mezzanine must be fixed to a solid base that resists the actions transmitted by the mezzanine. TecroStar offers guidance as to the type of footing or foundation required under the columns, but it is the customer's responsibility to check the final strength of the terrain.
When the mezzanine is required to be placed on a grass or soil type surface, some type of footing will be necessary. The modular foundation system shown below may be a good solution, although it is up to the client to check it through the technician responsible for the project https://piloedre.es/
Environmental conditions and performance of materials
The metallic steel pieces are lacquered with paints suitable for exteriors. TecroStar structures have a thermosetting polyester polymerised powder coating, with a coating thickness between 60 and 80 microns.
Corrosivity category C2 has been obtained, of medium durability, when submitting the pieces to the tests, according to the criteria of the European Norm EN ISO 12944 of May 1998: "Protection of steel structures against corrosion by means of protective painting systems". Examples of typical environments for corrosivity category C2:
● Interiors: buildings without heating where can be condensations (warehouses, sports centres,…)
● Outdoor: atmospheres with low pollution levels. Mostly, rural regions.
The medium durability of the lacquer covers a period of 5 to 15 years. The standard states that durability is NOT a "warranty period". Durability is a technical consideration that can help the owner establish a maintenance programme. That is, tests are performed for a specified number of hours under uniform conditions applied to smooth surfaces. The reality is that climatic and environmental conditions are very variable.
It is to be expected that after some time the structure requires retouches of painting on small zones, like edges or corners that can present beginning of oxidation and loss of the brightness. It is recommended to polish these areas to remove the rust and then apply the paint. The edges of steel parts are the parts most prone to corrosion and where rust first appears, in fact, these areas are not evaluated in salt spray tests, as the standard does not contemplate them.
TecroStar does not advise the use of metallic parts painted in white for exteriors, since the appearance of rust is appreciated much earlier than in black.
When the visual inspection indicates that paint retouching is required, careful attention should be paid to all edges or corners that may show signs of oxidation and loss of gloss. It is recommended to polish these areas to remove the rust and then apply the paint.
If the mezzanine is to be installed outdoors in a marine or coastal environment, maintenance recommendations should be carried out more frequently, due to the corrosive power produced by the existence of salt and moisture. Try to control the oxidation process to avoid further deterioration. In this case, it is recommended to polish the affected areas to remove the rust and then apply the paint.
The aluminium handrails of the rails do not require any special maintenance, as all of them are subjected to surface treatments that guarantee their outdoor performance (anodised silver, black lacquer or with a wood effect).
The load-bearing floor of TecroStar mezzanines consists of structural plywood panels. It is intended for indoor use in a humid or protected outdoor environment in accordance with EN 636-1-S. The customer must apply a lasur* or specific waterproofing treatment for wood to the floor and to the exposed edges, which protects the surface and prevents water from penetrating into the tongue and groove joints of the panels and affecting the edges.
Likewise, all wood pieces (steps, wooden strips, etc.) must be treated with some type of water-resistant paint or varnish to prevent moisture from penetrating and the material from cracking, and therefore losing its mechanical and aesthetic characteristics.
The wood pieces should also be maintained, checking that the applied surface protections (varnishes or paints) have not deteriorated, and treating them if necessary.
The presence of water in puddles or “ponds” on the mezzanine should be avoided. To that end, the mezzanine should be installed with a slight slope to facilitate the water evacuation and to avoid its accumulation (approximately 2%). This unevenness can be achieved by installing levelling plates under the highest pillars of the structure. Drains can also be created for the same purpose.
* It is a product for outdoor uses that is more appropriate than varnish because it offers a high resistance, does not create a layer on the surface it is applied, controls humidity, gives a waxy finish and provides a wide range of finishes.
This treatment provides the steel pieces an additional protection that increases their durability in weather conditions that cause corrosion.
It consists of a cold-dip galvanizing or electrolytic zinc coating, whereby the steel pieces are covered with a thin zinc layer, between 8 and 15 um, in a low temperature bath. Subsequently, it is added a passivation using chromium that increases the protection and, finally, a sealing is made.
This zinc coating process differs from cold-dip galvanizing and avoids the pieces from deformation by heat and their holes from blockage, providing a much softer and more appropriate finish for the use of Tecrostar products.
After applying the zinc coating, the pieces are lacquered with the high-quality standard process typical of Tecrostar, with powder-coating paint, to obtain a perfect finish in the colour desired by the customer, also increasing the corrosion protection by creating a barrier (steel + zinc plating + lacquering).
With the TecroStar waterproof steel treatment, a high level of protection is achieved on steel parts, obtaining the following rating:
-
Corrosivity category C4 with Low durability.
-
Corrosivity category C3 with Medium durability
-
Corrosivity category C2 with High durability
Durability is obtained by testing the parts according to the criteria of the European Standard EN ISO 12944. The standard indicates that durability is NOT a "warranty period". Durability is a technical consideration that can help the owner to establish a maintenance programme. That is, tests are performed for a given number of hours under uniform conditions applied to smooth surfaces. The reality is that climatic and environmental conditions are highly variable.

It should be taken into consideration that the guarantee of our treatments is given on the basis of laboratory conditions, which are the hours without rust appearing in a salt fog chamber, but every real location may imply a different kind of exposure. Therefore, we provide an extract from the European standard EN ISO 12944 of May 1998 "Protection of steel structures against corrosion by means of protective paint systems", where you can see some examples of typical environments.

When visual inspection indicates that touch-up painting is required, close attention should be paid to any edges or corners that may show the beginnings of rust and loss of gloss. It is recommended to polish these areas to remove the rust and then apply the paint. The edges of steel parts are most prone parts to corrosion and where rust first appears, in fact, these areas are not evaluated in the salt fog tests, as they are not covered by the standard.
Sections
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 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.
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

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.
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.
A: adjustable every 6 cm
B: adjustable every 10 cm
C: adjustable every 10 cm

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.
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.
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.

Yes. They have the exact same specifications as the initial structure.
Yes, you can add an extension to an existing mezzanine. You do not need to buy both structures at the same time.
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.
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 accidents.
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.
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.
You can do it yourself with the help of a friend. It is easily installed in a few hours, depending on the product.
TS8 Mezzanine: 3 hours with 2 people
TM15 Mezzanine: 4 hours with 2 people
TL30 Mezzanine: 5 hours with 3 people
The times are a guideline and for assembly only. You need to add the time it takes to measure up, move the components to the location, clean up, etc.

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: 239 cm
Width: 112 cm
Height: 54 cm
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.
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.

No, you don’t. Our products are completely removable and reusable, therefore, they are considered as PERSONAL PROPERTY.
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…”
1. 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:
|
Steel pieces without treatment |
A1 |
|
Steel pieces black-painted 9005 (polyester powder paint) |
A-s1,d0 |
|
Steel pieces white-painted 9010 (polyester powder paint) |
B-s2,d0 |
|
Boards of the supporting floor. Plywood board for structural usage CE2+ (UNE-EN 13986) |
D-s2,d0 DLF-s1 |
2. 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 made of steel too. 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.

The mezzanine can be extended at any time using any of the available extensions, or can modify the height of it.
You can also resell it or reuse it in a different location with different dimensions thanks to its telescopic system.

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.
The mezzanine systems manufactured by TECRO have legal backing on all levels of protection. In 2007 we acquired the Spanish patent TecroOne for our industrial structures. One year later, the TecroStar brand was born. The brands TECRO, TecroOne and TecroStar are currently entities registered in Europe.
In addition, TECRO Montadores holds both the Spanish and international patents for manufacturing telescopic mezzanines. Similarly, like most companies who operate within the law, we have a series of duties and rights that if breached could lead to significant infractions and legal penalties.
