Are the floating shelves solid wood or veneer?
Large pieces of solid hardwood cannot be relied on to stay flat and straight. It must be assembled in some type of structure that will influence it to stay that way. For wood floating shelves specifically, the cross-grain layers of plywood core are better suited to the application. Nearly all the furniture-grade plywood we buy is made in the USA from domestic raw materials, with the exception of the face veneers on the Bamboo, Teak, and African Mahogany. Those trees only grow in other parts of the world. The core material of most of our floating shelf panels we specify domestic material from either Columbia Forest Products or Murphy, depending on availability. The teak and bamboo core material is imported Baltic birch.
Are your custom floating shelves strong?
The amount of weight a floating shelf can hold varies depending on things like the quality of the installation, the structure of the wall the shelf is attached to, size of the shelf, and how the weight is distributed. Our wooden floating shelves are very strong and can hold a lot of weight. We've put 150lbs on one shelf and it held fine. That doesn’t mean a floating shelf attached to your wall will hold the same, it might hold twice that much or nothing at all. Our floating shelves should be professionally installed. Your contractor will be able to give you a good idea of what a floating shelf attached to your wall can hold once he has seen the installation information.
Can custom floating shelves be installed in a kitchen?
Yes, of course floating wood shelves can be used in the kitchen!
Our floating shelf design is plenty strong enough to hold stacks of dishes or just about anything you decide to load them up with. Not to mention they are beautiful and will add modern design aesthetic to your kitchen.
These shelves require professional installation, it is not a weekend DIY sort of job. Please refer to the installation page for more information.
Can custom floating shelves be installed in a bathroom?
Yes, of course our custom floating shelves can be used in a bathroom! These wooden floating shelves are not designed for use in a wet location like inside a shower or as a countertop for a vessel sink, though they certainly can be used in a properly ventilated bathroom. Our wooden floating shelves are finished with the same conversion varnish we use on quality custom cabinetry and furniture for kitchen and bath use. The simple answer is anywhere you would normally place wood cabinetry is also acceptable for the shelves. Enhance the look of your bathroom with our beautiful high-end custom floating shelves.
How do you add lights to floating wood shelves?
While we don't provide lighting for our custom floating shelves, we do offer add-ons to allow you to install lights in your floating wood shelves via our LED channels or puck light holes. Please refer to our description on the LED lighting page for more information.
