Floating Floor
Floating Floor
(OP)
Hi guys,
our client has asked us to provide him with a floating mezzanine floor in his penthouse apartment. One structural engineer advised us that the only way to support this would be to have beams running underneath the floor. one problem is that the client would like this floor to be glass and it would look horrible if beams were to pass underneath it.
This kind of design, with a max. weight of 1 ton -is it possible to use steel rope which will also keep the floor from swaying.
I shall be uploading the plans in due course. Thanks in advance guys.

I am pretty sure what you want to do could be done if you have enough money - but obviouly need more info. Like can you have steel mullions with rods on the interior??
RE: Floating Floor
Agree with the two above. Possible interpretations of your description are near infinite.
RE: Floating Floor
thanks for your messages and sorry for the delay in getting the plan to you.
the floor construction is no more than 100mm thick. we have to be careful of the weight.
Also if you have any suggestions on the staircase there, minimizing space is the clients object of works.
Thank you!
