Heavy Duty Floating Shelf Bracket

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:

• Mounting 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!
• 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.
