Fixing Methods

Choosing the Right Shelf Fixing Method

The best method for securing your shelf depends on its thickness and where it will be installed.

For heavy-duty, 40mm+ thick floating shelves, we highly recommend our premium Striplox fixing method (demonstrated in the video below). This system provides incredibly strong, hidden support for a completely seamless look. Installation note: The Striplox method is perfect for fully floating shelves or shelves with only one side against an adjacent wall, as it requires a small amount of lateral space to slide into place.
