These brackets measure 125mm x 125mm.
While compatible with wood and metal, extra care is needed if using glass; we recommend using protective pads between the bracket and the glass to prevent sliding or scratching.
The product includes the brackets; please ensure you purchase screws appropriate for your specific wall type (e.g., masonry plugs for brick or cavity fixings for plasterboard).
These are designed for interior use. Using them outdoors may cause the antique finish to oxidize or degrade over time due to weather exposure.
The weight capacity depends largely on your wall type and the quality of the fixings used. Always ensure the brackets are securely anchored into wall studs or solid masonry.
Check that the screws are fully tightened and that the wall surface is flat. If installed on a hollow wall, ensure you are using appropriate toggles or anchors.
Use a spirit level to verify both bracket arm heights. You may need to adjust one side slightly by loosening the screws, realigning, and re-tightening.
Installation is straightforward due to the pre-drilled mounting holes. First, determine your shelf placement using a level to ensure the brackets are perfectly aligned. Secure the vertical arm of the bracket to your wall using appropriate hardware for your wall type (masonry vs. drywall). Once the brackets are firm, mount your shelf to the horizontal arm. For maintenance, simply wipe the brackets down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or steel wool, as these can strip or scratch the antique finish. If the metal requires a deeper clean, use a lightly dampened microfiber cloth and dry immediately.
