Maximising Space with Floating Shelves

To achieve a seamless “floating” look, we employ three primary installation techniques depending on the material thickness and the wall type.

The Mitred Box Method

This is one of the most common techniques, often used to match the profile of a thickened worktop, usually between 40 and 60mm.

• The Process: We create a pocket or cavity within the shelf by mitre-bonding a piece of material to the front and underside.

• The Result: This cavity houses the shelf bracket, the “tail” of which is concealed behind the backsplash or recessed into the plaster.

• The Finish: Our advanced bonding system ensures glue lines are almost invisible, providing a beautiful, monolithic appearance.

The Stud-Bonding Method

Specifically designed for 30mm thick materials, this method relies on a collaborative approach.

• The Process: Your contractor installs metal studs (spaced at a minimum of 600mm) protruding no more than 100mm from the wall.

• The Installation: Our stone arrives with pre-drilled location holes in the rear. The material is then resin-bonded directly onto the studs for a permanent, secure fit.
