Creative Floating Corner Bookshelves

This bookshelf may not see past a piece of art, but its as practical as it gets. First of all, you acquire to stockpile it, which for some can be a treat. Secondly, its shaped past the letter A and reminds of a ladder. Its composed of four storing spaces, good for your wider and narrower stuff. That practicality is why its placed among the chilly bookshelves on our list.

FLOATING CORNER BOOKSHELVES

£ 1.00 inc. VAT Corner Shelf Measurements Corner Shelves are available as standard in various different sizes. If you require a more bespoke size to fit your corner precisely, we can do this for you easily and for no extra charge, but please call us and place your order over the phone.

All corner shelves are supplied with supporting battens for the shelf to sit on. These battens fix to the wall and are very discreet.

Made from the exact same timber as the shelves, the battens are 20mm thick, 30mm deep and stop 40mm short of the length/width of your chosen shelf measurements so that they hide away underneath.

The bottom front ends are also gently rounded off to finish the appearance. Shelves can be supplied unfinished, or with a protective finish of your choice. This service is completely free of charge.

Most customers chose either clear Beeswax (for a naturally light finish) or Danish Oil (a mellow golden brown finish). Oak shelves have the additional options of either medium or dark stained wax for customers trying to colour match existing furniture or flooring.

All timber shelves will require top-up coats in the future (approximately every 9-18 months) and therefore we also recommend you buy a small 500ml tin of your chosen oil or wax at the time of purchase.

If you have any other specific requirements, please detail them in this box and we will receive them with your order.

For example, the size of radius corners you would like or a specific angle for clipped corners. Or perhaps you need the holes for floating shelf brackets to be drilled in a specific location etc.

Alternatively, please feel free to call us before placing your order, or afterwards to add these extra details. If you would like cable holes or any other rebates, either call, email, or send us a plan. Please remember that we do not charge anything for your bespoke work, no matter how big or small your request. We simply produce your shelves exactly as you want them.

Oak corner shelves are available in various sizes from 200mm through to 900mm squares and any design style of your choice. If you require a more specific size or have an alternative design in mind we can produce this for you for no additional cost. Please call us on 0800 772 0275 or email your design to sales@floating-shelves.com.

Oak Corner shelves are supported by two discreet, yet sturdy, matching wooden battens (included in the price) which simply attach to the wall for the shelf to sit on. Please see our Corner Shelf Fitting Instructions for full details.

Solid Oak Corner Shelves 44mm Thick Premium Grade Oak 14x Standard Sizes 5x Design Styles 4x Protective Finishes We offer a completely free bespoke design service so that you can design your shelves precisely to your tastes. We can style the corners and edging, and add cable-holes or cutouts to fit around fireplaces, walls or wooden beams – just let us know what you need by completing the Special Requirements box on ordering.

We can round the corners of your shelves. Radius corners can be applied from 20mm to 100mm in size. Alternatively, we can apply a straight cut to the corners. These clip cuts can be angled to your specification. Obviously we can apply the corner designs to either corner or both depending on your needs.

We also offer a range of edging profiles: A small �??pencil�?? rounded edge, a larger rounded edge, bullnose or chamfered. If you require edging please remember to let us know which of the three sides you would like it edged (front, left & right).

If you desire, we can also position holes within the shelf to allow you to run cables through. Again, please let us know where you would like the holes positioned and the size you require. Some people just want to run the cable through, while others need to be able to fit the whole plug.

You may require some form of cut-out to fit the shelf around a corner, fireplace, wooden beam or other feature. This is no problem for us, we are happy to help. This is all part of the free bespoke service we offer you.

All Floating shelves are pre-drilled to accept the concealed mounting brackets. As standard, we centre these holes 100mm from either end of the shelf (for shelves over 1.2 metres we will add an additional hole/bracket in the centre of the shelf. However, if you would like us to reposition the holes to avoid water pipes, electric cables or other obstacles please let us know and we will position them perfectly for your needs.

When placing your order, please remember to include the details of your bespoke needs in the �??requirements box�?? before checkout, or your shelves will be supplied square-edged.

If you require any design outside of these usual bespoke services, or have any questions at all please email us your plan or call us.

1. Spirit level 2. Drill 3. Screwdriver 4. Tape Measure 5. Pencil Use a wire/pipe power detector to ensure that there are no electrical cables or water pipes where you intend to position the shelf. You do not want to electrocute yourself or flood the house.

Use a tape measure or your spirit-level to mark the vertical position for your corner shelf with a pencil. Your mark should be for the top of the batten/bottom of the shelf.

Use a spirit-level and pencil to mark the horizontal position of your corner shelf. Remember that these lines will indicate the top of the supporting battens and bottom edges of the shelf.

Use a wood bit to drill screw holes through each batten. Use the supplied timber battens only. Position the first (longest) batten to the wall, with the top edge underneath the horizontal mark line. Use a masonry bit to drill slightly through your pre-drilled screw holes (keeping the batten perfectly level at all times). Once all holes have been slightly drilled remove the batten.

Use a masonry drill bit to drill your holes and insert suitable rawl plugs into each hole. Position the batten back in place and use a screwdriver and countersunk screws to attach the batten to the wall. Position the second batten, ensuring that it is level with the first and is level with the pre-drawn horizontal line. Attach to the wall in the same manner as the first batten.

Safety – Ensure you use long sturdy screws and applicable rawl plugs. These will be taking all the weight of your shelf and its items.

As your corner shelf is only supported on two sides, it is essential that the shelf is secured to the supporting battens. This can be done in one of two ways. The cleanest and easiest way is to use a strong wood glue between the top of the batten and the underside rear edges of the shelf. Alternatively, you can screw up through the underneath of the battens, through to the underside of the shelf. If usng this method, make sure that the screws go all the way into the batten but DO NOT screw through to the top edge of the shelf.

Repeat all of the above steps for any additional corner shelves. Your battens will be supplied sanded and finished to the same standard as your shelves. However, some customers prefer to paint them the same colour as the wall to make them more discreet.

If you intend to do this, please lightly sand before applying the paint. Also, if you have used countersunk screws as suggested, cover the heads of the screws with wood filler first and leave enough time for this to dry and then sand away any excess.

Then apply one or two coats of base coat and finish with an emulsion or gloss that matches your wall coloring.

Ensure you paint the battens BEFORE securing the shelf to the battens to make painting them a lot easier. All our Shelves are produced from the highest quality American and European Hardwoods. Our shelves are 100% solid hardwood �?? not laminated or veneered.

Michael Flexman – November 16, 2013 We have now installed the corner shelves in St Joseph’s Church in Portishead. They are top quality solid oak as you advertise, which matches the existing furniture and are just right for our church. Everyone, including our parish priest, is very pleased with the result and we are happy to recommend your company, your products and your very efficient service.

Frances Sherratt – April 23, 2014 We are delighted with them both of the shelves we ordered. The bespoke nature of the service meant we could order exactly what we wanted to fit a tricky corner right up against a door frame. The quality of the wood really is top notch and the attention to detail in the craftmanship is obvious.

Marianne Platt – July 11, 2015 We bought six oak corner shelves to construct a bespoke end unit ‘mixing bench’ for our kitchen island as the kitchen supplier (Neptune) didn’t have what we wanted. We used the shelves to create an open shelve feature with an integrated wine rack. The shelves were very high quality, high consistency and very solid. We also needed the wood to be consistent as the main island was also made of oak and had to match. The shelves were perfect, made precisely to the requested measurements arrived well packed and are very high quality wood that matches seamlessly with the rest of the kitchen.

Thanks to all at Floating Shelf Company Paul Milham – February 12, 2016 The shelves look amazing and were an ideal solution for the replacement of bedside cabinets which would not fit into the redesigned bedroom. Very pleased with all the shelves. Thanks to your colour matching, they were an exact match to our existing bedroom furniture.

Rob T – March 13, 2016 Having recently decorated my living room and installed high quality oak sliding doors, I wanted to complete one corner of the room with floating oak shelves of an equally high quality that I could stain to match the doors. The Floating Shelf Company met my exacting requirements offering the option of finished or unfinished corner and floating shelves, which they cut to precise size requirements, adding a variety of edging, cut-outs and end design options. The finished product including the supplied fittings are of superior quality, yet simple to install. In summary The Floating Shelf Company provides an excellent product complemented by a professional service and easy to use website. All-in-all a superb package, which I shall definitely be using again and recommending to friends and family.
