Installation Tips:

• Hardware Not Included.
• When mounting to wood wall studs; we recommend 1/4″ lag screws 1.5″ long. Make sure you drill pilot holes to avoid cracking!
• We recommend using a laser level to ensure your mounting holes are level with each other.
• Drill a 3/4″ hole the length of your mantel bracket dowel into the back of the mantel. This is where the bracket dowel is installed.
  • We recommend using our Floating Shelf Drill Guide for this to ensure your mounting holes are straight.
• Once your bracket is installed and mounting holes are drilled, simply slide the mantel onto the dowels. We recommend putting a dab of adhesive in the mounting holes so the mantel is secure once dry
• If your mantel is light/small and you don’t have access to the wall studs, our Floating Shelf Bracket can be used to install a mantel as well.

Bracket Size Recommendations:

• When choosing the bracket/dowel length, note you’ll want the length to be at least 50% the depth of your mantel.
  • Example: If you have a 10″ deep mantel, a 6.5″ mantel bracket would be perfect.
  • Example: If you have a 14″ deep mantel, a 9.5″ mantel bracket would be perfect.
• When deciding on the bracket length, also consider the thickness of the drywall.
