Caunton Engineering's installation of a mezzanine floor at the White Rose shopping centre in Leeds has created an extra 3000m2 of retail space.



A total of 6.5km of 300mm deep cold rolled lightweight steel lattice joints were used to create the floor, designed for a total imposed load of 5.0kN/m2 and spanning a maximum of 7.3m.



Flush fitting timber inserts to the top and bottom chords allowed easy fixing of the chipboard floor finish above and plasterboard ceiling underneath.



Caunton supplied and erected the steelwork working alongside managing contractor the RG Group. Caunton are becoming a regular member of the most successful RG Retail team - which has completed several new Sainsbury's stores and store extensions together.
