Floating shelf bracket/ideas?

[Chippy]

Fitted my mantle with these

 

Drawer runners to fit all makes of cabinet. Ikea , MFI & many more - Shelf Brackets

 

Made a template out of a bit of old skirting which I then screwed to the wall then drilled through template for fixing holes.

 

A good blob of silcone put in mantle holes and its solid

Thanks for the help folks.

 

I see the problem with keeping the pins 90 degrees square with the wall and the shelf so the brackets that Chippy used or the welded up flat bar method seems the best.

 

Will report back once it's done.

 

thanks again.

It is not so hard to get things straight with the injection resin system. If it is a bit squiffy when the resin has set a bit of brute force and a length of pipe/scaffold pipe you could simply bend them until they are square and true.

The only slight problem with the brute force is the internal walls are thermolite blocks.

 

You can scoop it out with a tea spoon. Would probably burst out the pin.

 

Think I'll go with the flat welded bar idea. Will take the wood into the joiners shop for nice straight drilling.

 

cheers

Yep would't do it my way with thermalite block. In fact I would be cautious about any canteleverd shelf system with thermalite.
