FAQs
What is included in the pack?
The pack includes two floating shelves and concealed fixings for mounting. However, you may need to purchase specific wall plugs and screws depending on your wall type.
What is the weight limit for these shelves?
The specific weight limit is not provided. It is recommended to use the shelves for lighter decorative items and ensure they are securely fixed to the wall to prevent sagging or detachment.
Can these shelves be painted or customized?
While technically possible, painting or altering the finish may void any warranty and could affect the material. It is best to use them as supplied.
How deep are the shelves?
Each shelf has a depth of 24cm.
Are the fixings suitable for all wall types?
The shelves come with concealed fixings, but these are often generic. For optimal stability and safety, always use fixings appropriate for your specific wall material (e.g., plasterboard, brick, or concrete).
Can I cut the shelves to a smaller size?
Cutting the shelves is not recommended as it will expose the internal structure and may compromise their integrity and finish.
Troubleshooting
Shelf is not level
Adjust the position of the concealed brackets on the wall. Ensure markings were accurate before drilling.
Shelf feels unstable
Verify that the correct wall fixings have been used for the wall type and that they are securely installed. Check the bracket is fully engaged with the shelf.
Drilling into the wall is difficult
Ensure you are using the correct drill bit for the wall material. For masonry, a masonry bit is required. For plasterboard, appropriate fixings for stud work or plasterboard anchors should be considered.
