Timber Full Of Unique Natural Feature

These smooth shelves are handcrafted from the very best quality solid pine timber. Also known as European Redwood. The grade of timber is known as unsorted, or premium grade. This is what is left over after all the lesser quality grades have been removed (or sorted). It is also a kiln-dried timber. This ensures the best possible finish and less chance of further movement.

Handmade In Our Contemporary Smooth Style

Solid wood contains loads of beautiful natural character. And we just love it. The smooth style shelves will have less feature than the rustic shelves but each will still have unique characteristics. In each piece of timber you can find features such as knots, cracks, splits and shakes. All being different and unique from one piece to another. Placing your shelf above a heat source can cause movement within the timber which may result in twists and bows.

But that’s not it. The main feature is the stunning wood grain running through the timber. Pale creamy yellow sapwood contrasts beautifully with the darker reddish-brown heartwood. And the growth rings are plain to see on the ends.

Hand Finished In Supreme Wax Polish

Because these features are what really define our shelves we like to make them stand out even more. To do this we use a wax finish. This is carefully applied to the timber in our workshop, enhancing all the natural features and wood grain.

Wax not only makes the timber look good, but it is also very durable. You can easily wipe away spillages. And cleaning is very simple. Just wipe with a clean cloth and warm water then leave to dry. But never use harsh chemical cleaners.

Future Maintenance With Wax Care Packs

We have wax care packs available to keep your shelves looking their best. These comprise of a small tin of wax, a piece of sandpaper and a cloth for application. They are a great to use every few months to make the shelf look brand new all the time.

They’re also brilliant for fixing damage. A small amount of wax will fix a scratch. Or bigger damage can be fixed with a quick rub of the sand paper. Then use the wax to cover any bare timber and buff away. Order your wax care pack here.

Concealed Floating Shelf Brackets

Using our concealed floating shelf support brackets these floating shelves are very simple to fit to your wall and takes no time at all. We recommend that these shelves are suitable for solid walls only. A professional joiner or DIY enthusiast could also install these into timber studs, this would normally require drilling new holes into the back of the shelf to suit where the timber studs are positioned. Please note that we are unable to guarantee the shelves when installed into alternative wall types or using alternative methods.

Fitting Your Floating Shelf

Full instructions are included, but here is a quick guide:

1. Decide where you would like to position the shelf then locate the drill hole centres.
2. Mark where to drill the holes onto your wall with a pencil.
3. Drill the holes, insert the wall plugs and then screw the fixings into place.
4. Use a small wrench to make any minor adjustments to the bracket position.
5. Push the shelf onto the fixings all the way to the wall.

Its that simple, but if you need any more help check out our video walkthrough below:

Manufacture

As these shelves are handmade we will require approximately 2-3 working days to manufacture. They will be fully made up in our workshop to make sure all fits correctly. Then they will be passed through to the dispatch department.

In dispatch they will be checked over for quality before being packed. Plastic corner protectors and cardboard edges are added to the shelf before plenty of bubble wrap. The fixings are placed inside a cardboard tube and wrapped within the bubble wrap at the end of the shelf.
