Supplied with oak fireplace beams 11cm (4.25”) deep or more as well as our floating shelves.
Manufactured to high standards by Hafele. Please be aware that these brackets can only be fitted to masonry walls or stud walls
where timber can be located. They are not suitable for fitting solely to plasterboard. These simple brackets can support up to 35kg
of weight between two (including the weight of the shelf).
Measure from the end of the beam/shelf to the hole
centres and transfer these measurements onto your wall.
Using a spirit level, draw a line on your wall the same width
as your beam or shelf.
Using a 10mm masonry drill bit for solid walls or 10mm
wood bit for stud walls, drill a hole at least 60mm deep
to fully accommodate the wall plug.
Insert the wall plugs into the holes. Use a hammer to tap the
wall plugs flush with your wall.

STEP 7 STEP 8
Using a 10mm spanner, screw the brackets into the wall.
The washer vastly increases the load capacity and is recommended.
Slide the beam/shelf ³∕₄ of the way onto the brackets so
that you can still fit a spanner behind to make any adjustments.
The screw part of the bracket is positioned slightly off centre to the
main body of the bracket allowing you to make minor adjustments
for levelling. Place a spirit level on the beam/ shelf and use a
10mm spanner to make any minor adjustments to level the beam.
For additional precaution a small amount of silicone or grab
adhesive can be applied in the fixing holes to prevent the
beam/shelf from becoming loose. Slide the beam/ shelf flush
to your wall. As the holes are only 1mm wider than the
brackets you’ll find it’s a tight fit.
