Product Description

Our heavy duty floating shelf brackets are among the strongest available on the market, rated at 40kg load per bracket. We have two sizes available, the only difference being the length of the main bar that sits inside the shelf – 150mm and 250mm. Therefore we recommend these for heavy duty floating shelves in depths from 175mm up to 400mm, with a minimum thickness of 35mm. They come provided with two 5x50mm retaining screws complete with Fischer UX8 wall plugs.

We recommend these heavy duty floating shelf brackets for use with solid walls. You can use the wall brackets in plasterboard wall situations but they will require fixing into stud work. For dot and dab walls, the bracket will need securing into the solid wall beyond the plasterboard.

The incredibly strong 12mm solid bar runs through the centre of the shelf bracket and sets into the wall. This removes the weak spot often found in other types of floating shelf bracket. As a result, you can use these wall brackets for supporting deep floating shelves. Our heavy duty floating shelf brackets can support bedside tables and even sink basins, making them truly versatile and reliable.

For lighter duty floating shelf applications please see our Multi Wall Floating Shelf Brackets or Light Duty Floating Shelf Brackets. As we design all of our own fixings we should have a solution for almost every wall and shelf type.

Fitting our Heavy Duty Floating Shelf Brackets

Please head to the “Video” tab above for routing, drilling, fitting and weight testing videos.

For installation of these heavy duty floating shelf brackets into the wall, we recommend a 14mm hole to secure the main shelf pin and two 8mm holes for the retaining screws. For drilling into the back of the shelf we recommend a 14mm hole. Therefore you will require the following drill bits for installing this bracket;

To achieve the 40kg load rating we also recommend that you install the shelf brackets using our chemical resin method (this is also shown in our fitting video).

We advise setting these heavy duty floating shelf brackets into floating shelves with a routed pocket that clears the fixing plate. You will need to do this in order to achieve a flush fitment to the wall. This can be done easily with the addition of our Heavy Duty Shelf Bracket Routing Jig and a standard 12.7mm router bit.

If you are unsure of which fixing might be best for your application then don’t hesitate to contact us and we should be able to advise you. You can also find helpful information on our FAQs page.
