Floating Shelf Bracket Base Size 630x40x2.5mm

This bracket can suit a floating shelf with dimensions of up to 1200mm in length, up to 300mm in depth and a minimum of approximately 45mm or more in thickness. (use multiple brackets for longer shelves). Weight capacity of the bracket can be up to 25kg of evenly distributed load when fitted correctly to solid brick/masonry type walls.(depending on the wall type, fixings used, shelf size and most importantly the shelf depth). Weight capacity of floating shelf brackets decreases when used to support deeper or longer shelves, or fitted only to gyprock sheeting in cavity type walls. (weight capacity of the bracket will then be limited to the strength of the gyprock sheet and the type of fixings used) The bracket is fitted to the wall using your selected screws and fittings to suit the wall type, and the custom shelf drilled/bored to suit the diameter and length of the support tubes is then fitted onto the support tubes. The shelf can be secured through two pre drilled holes in the support tubes, by small grub screws, or by a silicone type adhesive. Note the support tubes have a slight upward angle to help compensate for any shelf droop when the shelf is loaded up, the bracket must be fitted with the stamped arrow indicator facing upwards (shown in detail below). The bracket base piece is 63cm long x 4cm deep and is 2.5mm thickness steel. Support tubes are 19mm diameter and 19.5cm long measured from front face of the bracket base, and the tubes are spaced at approximately 51cm centres. (+/- 3mm). Multiple holes are provided for fixing to the wall, however extra holes can be drilled in the bracket base if required to coincide with wooden studs if fixing to a hollow cavity wall. (highly recommended). Maximum weight capacity is only achieved when fixing correctly to good condition solid walls, or into wooden studs in a hollow gyprock type wall using appropriate fixings to suit the wall type. Please note the weight rating of the bracket decreases as shelf depth or length is increased. Hollow wall anchors can be used if fitting to cavity type walls part HW3 available here. Minimum of 5 are required per bracket. A correctly installed bracket will have no visible movement between the brackets base plate and the wall surface when load is applied to the bracket rods. Your installer must check this before fitting the shelf to the bracket.
