Shelf installation – versatile mounting services
When installing a shelf, it is important to consider the correct height and alignment, brackets suitable for the intended use and the wall material. The wall must be able to support the expected load, and the mounting must remain secure over time.
Jelpperi can help when you want your shelves mounted securely without unnecessary holes or uncertainty about the correct installation method. Other small installation and mounting jobs can often be completed during the same visit.
What types of shelves are commonly installed?
- Individual wall shelves for pictures, books and decorative items
- Groups of several shelves installed at different heights
- Shelves with brackets for photographs, plants and decorative items
- Stylish floating shelves with concealed mounting
- Bookshelves and small wall-mounted shelving units for children's rooms
- Storage shelves for kitchens, hallways and home offices
- Shelves and cabinets for offices and commercial spaces
A picture, mirror, coat rack, curtain rod, hook or other small wall-mounted item can often be installed during the same visit.
Mounting according to wall material and load
The weight of the shelf, its intended use and the expected load determine which fixings and working methods are required. Concrete, brick, drywall and different board structures require different solutions. Older walls may require special mounting methods.
- Concrete wall: strong mounting using suitable fixings
- Brick wall: also provides a good mounting surface for shelves
- Drywall: the load, fixings and mounting points are carefully assessed
- Wood and board structures: mounting is selected according to the structure and intended use
- Older walls: installation may require special fixings
