Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a cantilever bracket?
A1: A cantilever bracket supports shelving using a horizontal arm reinforced by a diagonal brace. This design allows for maximum support with fewer brackets and offers a sleek, unobtrusive appearance.

Q2: Can these brackets support heavy items?
A2: Yes. Depending on the size and installation quality, cantilever brackets can support substantial weights. For example:

• 170mm x 120mm brackets can support up to 15–20 kg per pair

• 220mm x 155mm brackets: 25–30 kg per pair

• 270mm x 190mm brackets: 30–40 kg per pair
  Use strong fixings and ensure they're properly anchored into suitable walls (e.g., brick, concrete, or timber stud).

Q3: Are fixings supplied?
A3: No, brackets are supplied without fixings. You should select suitable wall plugs and screws based on the wall type and intended load.

Q4: Can I use these brackets for glass shelves?
A4: These brackets are not recommended for direct use with glass shelves unless used in conjunction with glass shelf grips or clamping systems for safety.

Q5: Can they be installed outdoors?
A5: These brackets are intended for indoor use. However, they may be used outdoors in covered, dry areas. Prolonged exposure to rain or moisture may degrade the powder-coated finish.

Q6: How far apart should I install the brackets?
A6: It is recommended to install brackets approximately every 500mm to 600mm along the length of the shelf. For heavier loads or longer shelves, consider adding more support brackets.

Q7: What shelf materials are suitable?
A7: These brackets are suitable for supporting shelves made from wood, MDF, chipboard, or laminate. Always ensure the shelf material is strong enough to support the load.
