FAQs
What is the weight capacity of the bracket?
The weight capacity will depend on the size of the bracket and the quality of your installation. Ensure you are using appropriate fixings for the wall type.
What tools do I need to install the brackets?
You will need a drill, a level, a pencil, and appropriate fixings (screws and wall plugs), which are sold separately.
Are fixings included with the brackets?
No, fixings (screws and wall plugs) are not included. You must purchase these separately, making sure they are appropriate for your wall type.
Can I use these brackets outdoors?
While the aluminum is resistant to corrosion, prolonged exposure to the elements is not recommended. Consider sheltered locations for outdoor use.
How do I clean the brackets?
Wipe the brackets with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
What type of wall is best for these brackets?
Solid walls (brick, concrete) are best. If installing on plasterboard or stud walls, use appropriate fixings designed for those wall types.
Can I adjust the height of the shelves?
Yes, you can adjust the shelf height when you install the brackets by placing them at different levels along the wall.
Troubleshooting
Bracket feels unstable after installation.
Check the fixings to ensure they are properly seated and tightened. Make sure you're using the correct fixings for your wall type. Re-tighten or replace fixings if necessary.
Bracket appears to be bending under weight.
Reduce the weight on the shelf. Check if the bracket is correctly installed and that the shelf is properly supported. Ensure the bracket is not overloaded beyond its weight capacity.
Difficulty drilling into the wall.
Use the correct drill bit size for your wall plugs and drill slowly and steadily. If the wall is particularly hard, consider using a hammer drill.
