Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Corniches requires proper mounting to the wall surface to ensure stability. Because the unit is made of high-quality plastic and polyamide, maintenance is straightforward. To keep your shelf looking new, clean the surface periodically using a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these can affect the finish of the plastic. Ensure the mounting hardware is compatible with your wall type (e.g., drywall, brick, or tile) before installation to ensure the 1.39 kg unit is held securely.
