Heavy Duty Floating Shelf Bracket – Floating Stud Mount Shelf Bracket
Our Heavy Duty Floating Shelf Brackets are designed to support a shelf, countertop, bar top, bench, or cabinet. These hidden/floating shelf brackets are mounted directly to wall studs behind drywall. Six mounting holes give this bracket an extremely high weight capacity, making it well-suited for use with heavier projects. When the drywall is installed, our heavy duty hidden shelf brackets protrude out from the wall for a shelf or surface to rest on. The result is a “floating” surface on a barely visible and extremely strong support bracket!

Installation Tips:

- When mounting to wood wall studs; we recommend 1/4″ lag screws 1.5″ long. Make sure you drill pilot holes to avoid cracking!
- Use #12 tapered screws when mounting wood to these brackets.
- Drill pilot holes to avoid cracking your mounting surface.
- If you’re using this bracket to support stone, we recommend Liquid Nails to mount the bracket to the stone.
- If you’re looking for more tips on installing these brackets, view our installation video below or visit this forum discussing the installation process.
- If you don’t want to open up a wall and mount to the stud try these lighter duty floating shelf brackets
Bracket Size Recommendations:
- 3/8″ thick brackets are strong enough for most shelving projects. 1/2″ thickness is recommended for commercial projects or any project where a person will sit or lean on.
- When deciding on the bracket length, consider the thickness of the drywall.
- The bracket length should be 1″ – 3″ shorter than the object it’s supporting.
- The bracket mounting side is important due to beveled edge on the end of the bracket. If you put a left mounted bracket on the right side of the stud, the beveled edge will be upside down.
