The "Invisible Floor": Why Mezzanine Nets are the Ultimate Solution for Tiny House & Small Apartment Living

In the world of urban architecture, the battle for square footage is constant. As we lean into the "Tiny House" movement and micro-apartment living, the challenge remains: how do you add living space without sacrificing the airy, open feel of a home?

Enter the "Invisible Floor." Mezzanine nets (or indoor hammock floors) are rapidly shifting from high-end architectural curiosities to functional necessities for anyone looking to hack a small space.

Breaking the "Box" Effect

When you’re working with a footprint of 400 square feet or less, every horizontal surface counts. Traditionally, adding a mezzanine meant building a solid wooden or steel platform. While functional, these structures often create a "boxed-in" feeling, cutting off airflow and—most importantly—killing the light.

A mezzanine net solves this by providing a high-tension, weight-bearing surface that remains transparent. It allows natural light to flow from skylights or upper-level windows down to the ground floor, keeping the entire unit feeling expansive rather than claustrophobic.

Key Benefits for Small Space Hacks:

Maximize Natural Light: Unlike solid lofts, nets don't cast heavy shadows.
Air Circulation: In tiny homes, heat rises. Nets allow for better ventilation and temperature regulation than solid floors.
Visual Weightlessness: The "invisible" nature of the mesh keeps the sightlines open, making a room appear twice as large.

From Loft Bed Alternatives to Relaxation Zones

While many use mezzanine nets as loft bed alternatives, their utility extends far beyond just a place to sleep. They serve as a multi-functional "third space" that many small apartments lack.

Imagine a dedicated reading nook suspended over your living room, or a meditation zone that doesn't require moving furniture. Because these nets are engineered to hold significant weight—often upwards of 175kg per square meter (175kg/m2)—they are as safe as they are stylish.

"A mezzanine net isn't just about adding square footage; it's about reclaiming the vertical volume of a room that usually goes to waste."

Mezzanine Nets, a Design-Forward Solution for Urban Dwellers

For the design-conscious demographic, aesthetic is just as important as utility. Mezzanine floor ideas have evolved; you can now choose between different mesh sizes and colors (black, white, or grey) to match a "Scandi-industrial" or "Boho-chic" interior.

Installing a net is often more cost-effective and less invasive than traditional construction. It requires heavy-duty fixings into load-bearing walls or beams, but once tensioned, it creates a sleek, modern finish that turns a cramped loft into a high-design feature.

Is a Mezzanine Net Right for You?

If you are currently struggling with a cramped floor plan, consider looking up. If you have a ceiling height of at least 14 feet (4.2 meters), you have enough vertical clearance to install a net. It’s the ultimate way to maximize your footprint without losing the soul of your space.

Whether you're looking for a cozy spot to lounge or a clever way to add a guest "room" in a studio, the mezzanine net is the most versatile tool in the modern dweller's kit. It’s time to stop thinking about floors as solid objects and start seeing the potential in the air.

Dyneema netting: Exclusive to Feelnets for your custom catamaran netting

The choice of catamaran netting is essential to guarantee comfort and safety on board. But not all materials are created equal. With Dyneema® 22x22 mm, Feelnets offers an exclusive, top-of-the-range solution designed for demanding owners. This tailor-made net combines performance, durability and exceptional comfort.

Dyneema®: a revolutionary material for catamaran netting

Dyneema® is one of the world's highest-performance fibers. It offers exceptional strength while remaining very light. This makes it a natural choice for catamaran netting.

Unlike conventional materials, it hardly deforms at all. In fact, its elongation rate is extremely low. This means your net remains perfectly taut over time.

What's more, this material is highly resistant to marine stresses. It withstands UV, salt and repeated rubbing. As a result, it guarantees a much longer service life than standard nets.

Tangle-free structure for optimum comfort

Feelnets offers innovative knotless technology. This design greatly enhances user comfort.

Firstly, the surface is flat and even. So you can walk barefoot without discomfort. Secondly, it avoids unpleasant pressure points.

The net becomes a real relaxation area. It transforms the bow of the catamaran into a comfortable resting area.

This structure also enhances overall strength. Braiding ensures better load distribution. This improves safety on board.

Exceptional dimensional stability

The main advantage of Dyneema® is its stability. Unlike polyester or nylon, it hardly relaxes at all.

Once installed, the net retains its initial tension. This eliminates the need for frequent adjustments. This saves you a lot of time.

What's more, this stability enhances safety. A well-tensioned net reduces the risk of falling or becoming unstable.

This means you benefit from long-term equipment reliability.

Extreme strength for maximum safety

This Dyneema® net has a breaking strength of up to 3,000 kg. That's a very high level.

In spite of this, the wire diameter remains slim. It measures just 1.95 mm. This reduces windage.

As a result, the boat maintains better performance. This is an important advantage when sailing.

What's more, this resistance means that several people can be accommodated without risk. The net becomes a safe living space.

Enhanced durability thanks to coated finish

The net benefits from a special protective coating. This treatment further enhances its resistance.

On the one hand, it protects against UV rays. On the other, it reduces wear and tear due to friction.

In this way, the net maintains its performance over time. It remains attractive and functional for longer.

This makes it an ideal choice for intensive use in marine environments.

Why choose Feelnets custom mesh?

Feelnets designs every catamaran net to order. This guarantees a perfect fit for your boat.

What's more, the company controls the entire process. It selects materials and optimizes manufacturing.

So you benefit from a reliable, long-lasting product. Every project is carefully studied.

Moreover, this top-of-the-range positioning meets the expectations of modern yachtsmen. Comfort is becoming as important as performance.

A lasting investment for your catamaran

Choosing a Dyneema® net means investing in quality. The initial cost is higher. However, life expectancy more than compensates for this investment.

You reduce the need for frequent replacements. You also reduce the need for maintenance.

As a result, this customized net becomes a cost-effective solution over the long term.

Conclusion

Dyneema® 22x22 mm is today's best choice for a high-performance catamaran net. It combines strength, comfort and durability.

Thanks to its knotless design and exceptional stability, it transforms your on-board experience. Feelnets offers an exclusive solution designed to last.

A hook attachment for easy installation of your mezzanine or house net

Installing a house net requires precision and the right equipment. At Feelnets, we always strive to simplify the installation of your custom net. That's why we've designed a hook attachment specifically for screwing in the pitons used to install our nets. Thanks to this practical accessory, installing a mezzanine, indoor or outdoor net becomes quicker and easier. Find out how this tool can facilitate the installation of your home netting.

An end cap designed for easy installation of your net fasteners

Installing a custom net requires solid, well-positioned fasteners. Pitons must be screwed precisely into the framework, whether wood or concrete.

However, this operation can be difficult with a conventional tool. That's why Feelnets has developed a hook bit specially designed for screwing pitons.

This bit fits all standard screwdrivers. It makes it easy to screw in the 8x80 mm or 12x120 mm pitons used for thread installation.

Thanks to its hook, the end cap holds the piton perfectly in place while screwing. Installation is quicker and more comfortable.

This tool is particularly useful for laying :

• a mezzanine net
• an indoor housing net
• an outdoor or terrace net
• a catamaran net installed in a house

A robust tool built to last

Like all Feelnets accessories, this hook end is built to last.

At Feelnets, we always select quality materials (all our fasteners are made in Europe). Our network of partner craftsmen also guarantees reliable, long-lasting installation for your net home.

Another important advantage: this mouthpiece is made in Europe. It complies with European quality and safety standards.

Faster mezzanine net installation

When installing a mezzanine net, fasteners must be placed at approximately 150 mm intervals around the structure. This often represents dozens of pitons to be screwed in.

Without suitable tools, this stage can be long and tiring.

Thanks to theFeelnets hook tip, the piton is held securely in place during screwing. You'll gain in precision and speed.

Whether you're installing a house net, a suspended net or a guardrail net, this accessory makes installation much easier.

An essential accessory for custom net installation

At Feelnets, we know that every project is unique. That's why we design custom nets to suit every space.

However, the quality of a net also depends on the quality of its installation. Correctly installed fasteners guarantee safety and durability.

This hook end is part of our commitment to offering our customers complete solutions.

It enables :

• to facilitate installation of the pitons
• improve screwing precision

Create a Safe, Kids-Proof Play Area with Custom Nets

Designing a secure and fun play area for children is a top priority for parents, schools, and play space designers. One of the best solutions available today is using custom nets to create a kids-proof play area that’s safe, durable, and visually appealing. At Feelnets, we specialize in tailored net systems that transform ordinary spaces into protected zones where kids can play freely — and parents can relax with peace of mind.

The Benefits of Using Custom Nets to Create a Kids Play Area

Custom nets offer a flexible and effective way to child-proof play spaces. Unlike rigid barriers or bulky fencing, nets provide protection without blocking sight lines, reducing the risk of injuries from hard surfaces. Whether you’re securing a backyard swing set, enclosing a playground, or designing an indoor activity space, custom nets can be shaped and sized to fit any layout.

Here’s why custom nets are perfect for kids-proofing:

Safety First: High-quality netting prevents falls and keeps children within designated play zones.
Durable Materials: Made from premium synthetic fibers, these nets resist wear, weather, and heavy use.
Custom Fit: Every play area is different — custom netting ensures a perfect fit for every shape and size.
Versatile Design: Nets can be installed vertically, horizontally, or at angles to match your space’s design.

How Custom Nets Enhance Child Safety

Installing a custom net system creates a physical barrier that is both soft to the touch and strong enough to withstand impact. Unlike traditional playground fences, nets won’t splinter, dent, or create sharp edges. This means fewer injuries and a safer environment for kids to explore.

For areas near decks, treehouses, balconies, or elevated platforms, custom nets act as invisible safety guards that blend with the surroundings while effectively preventing slips or falls. And with options for bright colors or themed designs, nets can also contribute to a cheerful play space aesthetic.

Smart Installation for Lasting Protection

At Feelnets, our team works with you from concept to installation. We assess your site, take precise measurements, and recommend the best netting style for your needs. Whether it’s UV-stabilized outdoor netting or soft indoor mesh, we ensure the finished product performs reliably and looks great.

Our custom nets are easy to clean, low-maintenance, and built to last — giving you sustainable safety solutions that grow with your family.

Creating a kids-proof play area doesn’t have to be complex. With custom nets from Feelnets, you get smart protection, tailored design, and peace of mind. Protect your little explorers with a solution that’s strong, safe, and stylish.

Interior designers: how to integrate a living net into your design projects?

You don't have to do a lot of heavy, costly work to make your home both unique and comfortable. An element like interior netting can often create a real difference, with a controlled impact on the building site. Discover all the benefits Feelnets can bring to your interior design projects.

Interior mesh: a response to changing lifestyles

Having spent a lot of time at home during the Covid period, many people are now placing greater emphasis on well-being in their homes. Decoration, furnishings, space-saving, a relaxation zone for reading, binge-watching Netflix or simply relaxing... The interior net ticks all these boxes, and many more besides.

As part of an interior design project, netting will often be the little " wow effect " bonus.

• it brings a feeling of freedom and lightness;
• it also creates an original living space;
• it helps diffuse light thanks to the fabric's transparency.

Integrating the net right from the architectural design stage

As designers of interior spaces, you need to think about the installation of netting right from the home design phase. Mesh often makes it possible to fill a void, secure a mezzanine or create an attic space, while improving the diffusion of natural light, the legibility of volumes and the coherence between the structure of the building and the interior design. You can also voluntarily create or adapt certain spaces (hoppers, mezzanines, etc.) to accommodate a net.

Suitable for all situations and all families

The most appropriate areas are generally above a living room void, on an open mezzanine floor, under attics or roof slopes, or as a walkway linking two separate areas of the home. These choices offer several functional advantages, including :

• maintaining through-views and visual continuity between levels;
• securing voids without the need for opaque partitions or traditional rigid railings.

Whatever the profile of the occupants (family, couple, single), a net in a house is always a good idea: original, playful, functional... The net adds an extra room, a zone for relaxation and well-being in the home, suitable for young and old alike. Children are always delighted, and parents too.

Technical implementation: anticipating site constraints

Right from the design stage, you need to provide a rigid perimeter framework, sized to sustainably take up the forces associated with net tension. Anchor points are positioned in walls or beams, directly flush with the supporting structure. It can be installed in wood, concrete or IPN structures. Certain geometric constraints require precise adjustments (irregular angles, atypical spans, variations in levels), but whatever the configuration, it's always possible to install a net. Feelnets provides you with all the advice you need, and our network of partner craftsmen can take care of net installation if required.

Choice of materials, meshes and shades

On the custom net market, you'll mainly find nets in polyamide (popular for indoor use), polyester (often used for boating) or polypropylene (for large surfaces). Mesh sizes vary, from the tightest (13x13 mm) which let nothing through, to the widest (30x30) which better diffuse natural light. Feelnets nets are made of 3+ polyester mesh. These synthetic fibers are the best choice for interiors, thanks to their pleasant feel, strength and durability over time. A complete color customization (beige, white, black or custom shades), so your customers get exactly the look they want for their project.

Taking account of the regulatory framework and the architect's advisory role

When you install a vertical fabric as a replacement for or addition to a conventional guardrail, it simply has to comply with the standards imposed on guardrails installed in a private dwelling. This includes a minimum height of 1 meter and limited spacing at the top. On the other hand, there is no specific mandatory standard for nets used horizontally. To guarantee safety, however, it's in your best interest to work with a reputable company with a reputation for supplying extremely sturdy products. Feelnets' 3+ Polyester Mesh nets are EN 1263-1 certified, and offer the same resistance as those used on building sites.

The net as a differentiating signature and added value for customers

It's up to you to present the net as a real asset, as many customers don't immediately perceive all the benefits it brings in terms of use and embellishment of the space. In particular, highlight the extra room, the relaxation area, and the ways in which this space can be used - for playing, meditating, reading or watching a film. The positive impact on property value(home staging) shouldn't leave homeowners indifferent either.

Today, interior netting represents an elegant and affordable solution for creating flexible, bright and unique spaces without excessive work. For a safe and successful installation, entrust your project to Feelnets. Our craftsmen master the whole process, from the initial analysis of the project to the secure installation of the fixings in the supporting elements, the perfect tensioning for a perfectly flat fabric, and a rigorous final check on stability and aesthetics.

Home netting lends itself to a wide range of uses, from rest areas to children's play areas.

• A reading or resting area with a view. Consider a net stretched under the attic to contemplate the mountain landscape or the fireplace.
• A suspended passageway linking two areas, as between a bedroom and the main living space. Inspired by the catamaran trampolines that link the hulls, it provides a secure aerial passageway.
• An aerial cinema area above the living room.
• A safe, fun play area dedicated to children, an indoor net on which they can play without risk.
• An aesthetic railing net around a mezzanine. It secures an open floor and creates an airy lounge.
