5. Installing Heavy Duty Brackets and Shelving
After you choose the right brackets, correct installation is key to safe and durable shelving. Brackets should only be attached to wall studs if attaching to plaster board walls, or brickwork/masonry (not mortar or grouting).
Appropriate heavy-duty fasteners should be used. It’s essential that brackets are securely fixed to the wall and all screws are fastened tightly. We advise not to use plastic wall plugs to fix brackets to walls under any circumstances.
If you have any questions consult a professional tradesperson or contact us and we’d be glad to help.
