Don’t let the name or looks deceive you - floating shelves are actually extremely sturdy and durable! Attaching to the wall with several different fixing methods available, they eliminate the need for any unsightly external brackets. Although they look slim and elegant, floating shelves are reinforced internally, thereby offering a great weight bearing capacity and supporting an array of items efficiently. An obvious benefit of floating shelves is the small amount of room that they occupy. They are a perfect storage solution for those living in flats or apartments, or for anyone who simply doesn't have much room to spare! Alongside their functional benefits, Floating Shelving Systems offer an alternative solution to any walls that look a bit bare. Here at Shelfdirect, we can bring you floating shelves in a variety of wood finishes, lengths, and depths - all meaning that if you have a space in your home that you feel needs a little extra, such a shelf may be perfect! Our floating shelves are suitable for masonry, plasterboard, and timber stud walls. Several forms of fixings are available, depending on what type of wall you will be installing the shelf on. Batten fixing, for example, is suitable for masonry and plasterboard, and works by sliding the shelf over a batten fixed to the wall. Our standard fixing rod is suitable for masonry and timber stud walls; bolts are secured into the wall and your shelf slides onto the bolts. Our strongest fixing method, suitable for masonry walls, involves the shelf being slid onto rods previously inserted into the wall via holes filled with resin. With no external fixings and minimal damage to your walls, all of our fixing methods are highly effective. If you have any doubts about which form of fixing is most suitable for your wall, please don’t hesitate to contact us! Shelfdirect’s floating shelves come in two thickness options as standard: 4cm or 8cm, but can be made to any thickness in between.
