Loft Nets: Comfort and Safety at Home

Mezzanine nets have become a must-have trend in the world of interior design. Offering safety, aesthetics and optimal use of space, these innovative accessories adapt to all styles of housing. In this article, you will discover how to choose and install a mezzanine net to create a unique and secure relaxation area at home.

What is a hammock net?

A mezzanine hammock net is a structure made of strong materials such as polyamide or hemp, which can be fixed to a mezzanine or to a void overhanging a lower floor. There are several types of hammock net, including those without knots, which are more discreet, and those with knots, which offer a traditional look. These hammock nets optimise the use of space while providing effective protection against falls.

In the world of modern interior design, hammock nets offer an aesthetic and functional solution for maximising space while guaranteeing safety and comfort. Suitable for houses, flats and even chalets, these made-to-measure hammock nets designed by FEELNETS transform an empty space into a lively and attractive area.

Why choose a hammock net for your mezzanine?

Safety and comfort

One of the main advantages of installing a hammock net for your mezzanine is the added safety it provides.

At FEELNETS, our hammock nets are designed to withstand up to 200kg per square metre, offering robust strength ideal for preventing the risk of falls. This makes them particularly suitable for homes with children or simply for those looking for extra security at home.

As well as safety, there’s comfort too. The materials we use, such as polyamide and polyester, are selected for their softness and ability to create a relaxing surface that’s pleasant to the touch, transforming your mezzanine into the perfect space for relaxing or playing.

Optimising space

Mezzanine hammock nets are an excellent solution for those who want to maximise every square centimetre of their living space.

By installing a hammock net, you transform an otherwise empty and unused space into an additional area that can be used as an extra living room, a reading corner, or even a play area for the kids.

This transformation is not only practical but can also increase the perceived value of your home, offering uniqueness and enhanced functionality.

Aesthetics and adaptability

FEELNETS’ hammock nets are not only practical, they are also designed to blend seamlessly with your existing décor. Available in a variety of colours, including the classics white and black, our hammock nets can be adapted to complement any interior style, from the most modern to the most traditional.

What’s more, the flexibility of materials such as polyamide and polyester means that our hammock nets can be made to measure to suit any specific space or configuration, ensuring perfect aesthetic and functional integration. Whether you’re looking to create a bold contrast or complement an existing colour palette, we can help you choose the hammock net that best suits your needs and style.

Types of hammock nets for mezzanines

Knotless hammock nets

Knotless hammock nets are a popular option for those looking for a discreet, contemporary solution.

This type of net offers a more modern look thanks to its smooth, uniform surface, which blends seamlessly into modern, minimalist interiors. The absence of knots means that there are no visual interruptions, allowing this type of net to blend in with its surroundings while providing the necessary security and functionality. These hammock nets are often chosen for their ability to maintain a clean aesthetic while providing an effective safety barrier.

Hammock nets with knots

For those who prefer a more traditional or handcrafted look, hammock nets with knots are a great option. Knots not only add a touch of authenticity and visual strength but also reinforce the structure of the hammock net, which can be particularly attractive in rustic or industrial settings. Knotted hammock nets are often seen as more durable and able to withstand heavy use, making them ideal for applications where safety is an absolute priority.

Comparison and selection tips

Choosing between a hammock net without a knot and a hammock net with a knot depends mainly on your aesthetic preferences and the functional requirements of your space.

Here are a few tips to help you make the right choice for your mezzanine:

• Aesthetics: If your interior is modern or you prefer a minimal appearance, a hammock net without a knot may be the most suitable. For a more traditional environment or if you’re looking to add a rustic accent, a hammock net with a knot will be more appropriate.
• Use: Consider the intended use of the hammock net. If the hammock net is to withstand intense or frequent activity, such as in a children’s play area, knotted nets may offer better durability.
• Safety: All of our hammock nets are safe, but the design features of knotted nets can offer an added robustness that is reassuring for some users.
• Adaptability: Consider the architecture of your mezzanine. Some designs may be better complemented by the clean style of hammock net without a knot, while others could benefit from the enhanced aesthetic of hammock net with a knot.

By choosing the type of hammock net that best suits your needs, you not only maximise the efficiency of your space but also its aesthetic appeal, making your mezzanine a truly transformed and secure space.

Installing your hammock net

Equipment required

To ensure a safe and durable installation of your hammock net, it is essential to have the right equipment. Here are the items you’ll need for installation:

• Fixings: Fixings should be placed every 150 mm around the perimeter of the mezzanine. Depending on the nature of your mezzanine and the construction materials, the type of fixings will vary. For wooden structures, heavy-duty pitons or screws are recommended.
• Tension rope: Heavy-duty tension rope is used to bind the hammock net to the fixings, creating a taut, secure surface. Available diameters are 10mm, 8mm or 6mm, depending on the expected weight and size of the hammock net. The choice of diameter must correspond to the intended load and use of the hammock net.

Installation guide

Your hammock net can be installed by following these detailed steps:

1. Prepare the surface: Make sure the area around your mezzanine is clear. Measure and mark the exact fixing points around the perimeter.
2. Install the fixings: Install the fixings using a drill and the appropriate screws for your type of structure (wood, concrete, metal).
3. Attaching the rope: Tie one end of the rope to a corner bracket, then thread it through the eyelets in the hammock net, alternating between the net and the brackets. Make sure you maintain even tension.
4. Checking the tension: Once the rope is fully installed, check and adjust the tension to avoid any pockets or looseness. The hammock net should be perfectly flat and taut.
5. Final inspection: Inspect the entire installation to ensure that all fixings are secure and the hammock net is correctly tensioned. Test resistance by applying a light weight.

Professional support

Although many customers choose to install their hammock net themselves, FEELNETS also offers full technical support for those who prefer professional assistance. We have a skilled technical team and partners across France ready to assist you with every stage of the installation.

Whether you need one-off help with certain stages or complete project management, our network is on hand to ensure that your hammock net is installed to optimum effect.

Creative uses for hammock nets

Children’s play areas

A mezzanine hammock net can be transformed into an inventive and safe play area for children.

This not only maximises the often unused vertical space but also provides a safe environment for children to play and relax. By adapting the hammock net to this function, it becomes possible to create a space where children can climb, rest and have fun under parental supervision, without the risk of falling. To do this, opt for a hammock net with a mesh tight enough to prevent little feet from getting trapped, and with adequate strength to withstand energetic activities.

Additions such as cushions, soft toys and hanging games can make the space even more attractive and comfortable for young adventurers.

Relaxation areas

Mezzanine hammock nets also offer a fantastic opportunity to create a unique relaxation area. Imagine a space where you can lie back with a good book, surrounded by the tranquillity of your own home, while suspended slightly above the ground.

A hammock net installed in your mezzanine can be used as a giant hammock, offering unrivalled comfort and relaxation. To transform your mezzanine into such a haven, choose a hammock net made from soft but hard-wearing materials and consider adding comfortable cushions, soft rugs and perhaps even a small holder for your drinks or books. This configuration is not only functional but also extremely aesthetic, adding a modern design element to your interior while creating extra living space.
