- Steel (Interior): Ideal for indoor applications, offering solid support and durability.
- Aluminum (Exterior): Rust and waterproof, perfect for outdoor or humid environments.

Versatile Uses:
Perfect for a range of applications, including floating shelves, mantels, hearths, and desks. This bracket mounts directly to 2x4 wood studs inside the wall before sheetrock installation. For metal studs, refer to our installation video. Ensure the bracket is mounted into wood studs, and secure to each 2x4 stud for maximum stability.
Sizing Guide:
Determining the correct size bracket is crucial for a secure installation:
- Measure the horizontal piece from tip to tip.
- Include the portion that will be inside the wall (approximately 3 inches).
- Example: For a 12-inch wide shelf, leave 2-4 inches from the outer edge plus the 3 inches inside the wall, resulting in a 12-inch shelf bracket.
