Each solid oak floating shelf is mounted using Hafele’s concealed shelf supports which come free with your order and are suitable for fixing to stone, brick, breeze block and stud walls. You can also fix them into plastebroard walls if timber studs can be located and fixed into.
Professionally machined holes are drilled in the back of the shelves to accept the concealed supports. Each shelf will also come with fitting instructions.
We aim to manufacture our solid oak floating shelves to the highest possible standard. In order to minimise waste, we may manufacture floating shelves from two or more pieces of timber to create the required depth. By following strict industry standard techniques, this does not detract from the overall quality and actually results in further stability.

Yes all of our shelves come with fixings for either solid masonry walls or plasterboard walls depending on the product you select. We have products made especially for pasteboard walls so if you are fixings solely into plasterboard walls please make sure the product says "for plasterboard walls" in the title.
For shelves suitable for solid walls, as a general rule, 2 fixings can hold up to 35kg of weight including the weight of the shelf. Our plasterboard walls can hold up to 20kg between 2 fixings including the weight of the shelf. Shelf depth, wall type, condition of wall and distribution of items can affect the weigh capacity.
The amount of fixings your shelf will have will depend on the length chosen.
Shelves under 4ft will come with 2 fixing points.
Shelves 4ft-5ft will come with 3 fixing points.
Shelves 5.5ft-6ft will come with 4 fixing points.
Shelves 6.5-7.5ft will come with 5 fixing points.
Fixings are usually around 5" from each end and then any subsequent fixings evenly spaced between. (This is not guaranteed) If you need to make sure the fixings are in a suitable position to enable you to fit to timber studs, please get in touch and we will be happy to adjust fixing positions on your order.
