Installation
Installation
Timber studs / Brick / Cement Walls
We recommend our Floating Shelves are installed by a
qualified Tradesman as they must be installed into timber wall studs, brick or cement to hold the weight. We supply metal rods and instructions for the install. A link to instructions are included on your confirmation email.
If you would like holes pre-drilled into your floating shelf
please leave us a note at checkout with the measurements you would like drilled (wall stud locations) or if your wall is brick or cement we don’t need ameasurements, we will drill them in proportion to the shelf size.
Please read the FAQs below for more information.
Steel studs
We do have a solution if your house is steel framed. The weight your wall will hold completely depends on the strength of your gyprock, a tradesperson will be able to advise. We sell brackets here and you can choose an option for them to be rebated into the shelf prior to them leaving our warehouse.

Can your timber floating Shelves be installed into brick and tiles?
They certainly can. Our install method works perfectly for brick and they will drill right through tiles to your wall studs.
How do you install your floating shelves?
We recommend metal rods for install (which we supply). We use these as they hold the most amount of weight. Full instructions are included with your order. Once you place your order a link to view the instructions will be included in your confirmation email.
Are holes pre-drilled into the timber ready for install?
No, but they can be. We offer this service free of charge. Just leave us a note at checkout with the measuments you would like drilled (wall stud locations) or if your wall is brick we dont need any measurements, we will drill them in proportion to the shelf size.
How much weight do your timber floating shelves hold?
Up to 25kgs per every wall stud they are secured to. All of our standard shelf lengths require at least 2 rods installed, larger ones even more. So the smaller shelves will hold 50kg, bigger shelves more, it depends on the size you order.
Are the shelves varnished?
Yes they sure are, twice. We use a top grade non toxic varnish that has a clear finish to keep the raw appearance and feel of the timber. The varnish is also kitchen and bathroom grade. Please bear in mind the timber grain and type of timber can determine how smooth the timber is. i.e. American Oak is generally alot smoother then Tasmanian Oak.
Why dont you always recommend traditional brackets?
We dont recommend the traditional brackets (the bar with the two poles attached) because they dont hold alot of weight. Most approx. 10kg per bracket. Our method will hold up to 25kg per rod installed. So if you use a minimum of two rods thats 50kgs minimum. However, this is only our recommendation and you can use the traditional bracket if you or your tradesperson prefers. It is also the only option for steel framed houses.
Can your shelves be used in a steel framed house
They can, but the install method is up to you are your tradesperson. The rods we supply and recommend are only for wooden framed homes and brick. But why? this comes down to weight. As our timber is solid, we want you to be able to store as much as you would like on your shelf without worrying about weight. It is still possible for steel framed homes to purchase our shelves (many do!) using a traditional bracket but it depends on the strength of your plaster, and not something we can comment on without actually inspecting your walls. A tradesperson will be able to help if you are unsure. If you would like to purchase our shelves but your house is steel framed, send us an email and we will help as much as we can to make it work for you.
Can you remove timber floating shelves?
It is possible, but its also dependent on the adhesive you use. But please bare in mind there will be holes left in the wall.
Can I order a timber sample?
You certainly can! Please head the the samples page to make your order.
Do you make corner shelving?
Yes, we certainly do! Please send us a custom enquiry with the size of the floating shelves you require and we will get back to you with pricing.
Can you create a rebate in my shelf for lighting?
For sure, please send us an enquiry with your measurements.
