Shelf Supports, Brackets and Shelves

Shelf Supports and Shelf Brackets

Every home needs some form of shelving, whether it is in the kitchen, bedroom or workshop. There is a wide range of options to choose from when deciding what type of shelf support or shelf bracket to use.

Before deciding what shelf supports to use you need to consider what you will be storing on them and how you want the look of the shelving brackets to fit in with your decor. The weight of what you want to put on the shelf will affect the shelving supports or brackets required, the thickness and the distance between the supports.

Adjustable Bookcase Strips

Adjustable Bookcase Strips will support the weight of heavy items such as books. The adjustable supports  give you the flexibility to adjust the height of the shelf by moving the position of the shelf support clips.  Bookcase strips are ideal for office shelving or workshop shelving.
