Frequently asked questions
What is the load capacity of Casson Hardware shelving?
Load capacity varies by system and depth, with most floating shelves rated between 25 and 75 pounds when mounted into framing. Casson Hardware lists exact maximum loads and recommended fastener types on every shelving product page.
What is the difference between a floating shelf and a bracketed shelf?
A floating shelf conceals its mounting hardware inside the shelf body for a clean architectural reveal, while a bracketed shelf uses visible brackets as a designed element. Casson Hardware carries both formats so projects can choose between minimal expression and exposed structure.
How are floating shelves mounted into stud walls?
Floating shelves are typically installed onto a concealed steel rod-and-bracket assembly anchored directly into wall framing or solid blocking. Casson Hardware lists the included mounting hardware and recommended installation method on every product page.
