Bracket Specifications

The strength of our bracket is in its industrial design; having a solid 12mm diameter back-rod running which sits within the wall…. The weight of the shelf & anything on it is counterbalanced by the tilting pressure on the back-rod – making them incredibly strong... No more sagging or droopy shelves!

 

Please Note: Our brackets are designed to support maximum weight when installed in solid walls and can be used in stud partition walls as long as the back-rod sits in the wooden stud-work.

 

Brackets available in 2 sizes, depending on the orientation you are putting the mantlepiece; 8cm for narrowest & 15cm for widest (please see images for visual)

 

How many Brackets?: The number of brackets required is down to the shelf length – for maximum weight carrying capacity we suggest the brackets are placed 15cm in from either end of the shelf & spaced no more than 30cm apart, although this is down to the installer to asses.

 

As a minimum we recommend:

30cm-80cm mantle: at least 2 Brackets

80cm-130cm mantle: at least 3 Brackets

130cm-180cm mantle: at least 4 Brackets

180cm+ mantle: at least 5 brackets
