FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of this floating shelf?
The shelf can support up to 25KG, provided it is correctly installed into a solid brick wall or securely into studs in a hollow wall.
Can I install this shelf on a plasterboard wall?
Yes, but it requires the use of at least 5 high-quality hollow wall anchors per shelf, specifically designed for load-bearing applications.
How do I ensure the shelf is mounted securely?
Use a spirit level to ensure the bracket is perfectly horizontal. Drill into solid wall material or wall studs if possible. Ensure there is no movement in the bracket once it is fixed to the wall. For hollow walls, use an adequate number of appropriate anchors.
What type of fixings should I use?
For solid brick walls, use standard masonry screws and wall plugs. For hollow walls, specialized high-quality hollow wall anchors are essential. The product description recommends a minimum of 5 anchors per shelf for hollow walls.
How should I clean the white floating shelf?
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the painted finish.
What does 'no unsightly visible joints' mean?
This refers to the shelf's construction, where the front face and the top of the shelf are seamlessly joined, creating a clean, uninterrupted surface without visible seams.
Troubleshooting
Shelf is not level
Loosen the bracket screws slightly, use a spirit level to re-adjust, and then re-tighten securely.
Bracket feels loose on the wall
Re-assess wall type and fixings. For hollow walls, ensure sufficient high-quality hollow wall anchors are used and properly installed. For solid walls, ensure appropriate screws and plugs are used and fully engaged.
Shelf is sagging under weight
The shelf may be overloaded or improperly installed. Remove items, check the bracket's stability, and ensure it's mounted correctly into studs or solid wall material. Do not exceed the 25KG weight limit.
Visible joints are apparent
This shelf is designed for seamless joints. If joints are visible, the shelf may not be fully seated on the bracket or there might be a manufacturing defect. Contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Position Bracket: Use a spirit level to ensure the pipe bracket is perfectly level on the wall. The arrow on the bracket should point upwards.
- Mark Fixing Points: Align the bracket with wall studs if possible in hollow walls, or mark positions for suitable anchors in solid walls. Drill additional holes in the bracket base if needed to match stud locations.
