Heavy Duty Shelves For Walls
Installing shelves on solid walls can be daunting, but with the correct fixings and guidance, it’s a straightforward process that offers long-lasting, reliable results. The good news is that solid walls are generally very well suited for various types of shelves, including floating wall display shelves. Our selection of floating shelves offers strength and stability, ideal for supporting household items and decor. They come with sturdy concealed brackets, offering a sleek, minimalist floating look without compromising the overall support.
Our solid wall fixings also include heavy-duty brackets with lipped and unlipped designs for a more industrial, classic appearance. All of our wall mounted shelves have a strong load capacity, with our robust fixings supporting up to 35kg of weight, including the shelf’s own weight.
Available Shelves For Solid Walls
We offer a versatile selection of solid wall shelves, including floating and alcove, all handcrafted in our UK workshop from solid oak, pine, or redwood. Each shelf is available in a range of finishes, allowing you to find the perfect match for your space.
Floating Shelves: Sleek and durable, our floating shelves come with concealed bracket designs for a clean, contemporary look.
Rustic Steel Bracket Shelves: Handmade from kiln-dried European oak, our rustic bracket shelves come with a pair of raw steel brackets in lipped or unlipped designs, blending an industrial style with long-lasting support.
Solid Oak Shelves: Oak offers a rich, natural character, providing strength and durability that suits both traditional and modern decors.
Pine Shelves: The warm charm of pine makes it a popular choice for any space, from the kitchen to the bathroom.
Redwood Shelves: Our Scandinavian redwood offers unique grain patterns with rich tones for a more rustic touch.
Styles and Finishes That Everyone Loves
You can choose from four timeless finishes for each shelf:
- Natural
- Light
- Dark
- Rustic
From brick shelves to plasterboard shelving, each product is available in standard sizing. But, if you can’t find the exact size you’re looking for, we offer a bespoke made-to-measure service, allowing you to get the perfect size for even the trickiest of spaces.
For custom sizes, simply order the next size up and leave a note at checkout with your exact measurements. If you’re not sure about the exact size, or what the right finish for your space would be, get in touch and our team will be happy to help with tailored advice.
Solid Wall Shelving For Every Space
From room to room, you can fill your house with stylish solid wall shelving, effortlessly transforming each space.
Living Rooms: Perfect for TV and media walls or alcoves, our solid wall display shelves work perfectly in both traditionally designed and contemporary-furnished living rooms.
Kitchens: Our range of versatile shelves has high weight capacities, strong enough for your cookbooks, spices, and glassware, and durable enough to withstand daily kitchen life for many years.
Bathrooms: We offer a range of solid wall shelving with sealed finishes for protection against moisture and humidity that guarantees long-lasting use.
Bedrooms, Hallways and Offices: Stylish, durable, and highly functional, our solid wall shelves offer sturdy storage solutions for household essentials and work needs.
Fixings and Installation
Our shelves for brick wall surfaces and other solid wall types come with heavy-duty brackets, in either concealed or exposed bracket designs. Our concealed bracket systems create a sleek, floating appearance and are easy to install with our informative installation guides. Two or more fixings (longer shelves may require more brackets) are fitted into solid brick or block walls, with each shelf supporting up to 35kg (including the shelf itself).
Please note that our solid wall shelves are not suitable for plasterboard walls. Our collection of plasterboard wall shelves is specially designed with fixings that suit lighter wall types.
Valuing Sustainability and Craftsmanship
We handcraft all our shelves in our North Yorkshire workshop using solid timber sustainably sourced from FSC/PEFC-certified forests. Our zero-waste workshop ensures all offcuts are recycled, reused, or repurposed, while sawdust and wood waste are used for biomass heating, helping minimise our environmental impact.
What’s more, for every £50 spent, we plant a new tree, helping promote sustainable forestry.
