Please help me with my floating shelves
Comments (9)Seeing your two mock-ups above, I think it would could work either way. IMHO, however, your first instinct was probably better: it does balance better, it prevents a glass corner from sticking out that close to the range, and it allows more breathing room for a behind-the-range feature if you ever plan to add one. Your original order and idea will look better, just in m opinion, since you asked. I'm estimating that those are 15 inch lowers on each side, which would give you a very nice visual "breathing space" on either side of the hood. Oh, and if you win the lottery and want to install a tile or other backsplash from range top, all the way to the ceiling, you'd still be able to do it without removing the shelves. The kitchen looks great so far!...See MoreKitchen renovation (HELP) — Hidden mounts for stone floating shelves
Comments (17)@Alex Kelsey Wanted to let you know how things are going for us, since it seems we are a little further along than you are. Talked to our contractor about what your contractor said, and he said it wouldn't have worked for us anyway because it's on an outside wall, which is load bearing. So it was a good thing we put in the brackets, attached to the studs. Talked to the fabricator today, and he is finally willing to embed our brackets into the stone, so that you only see the 3 cm edge, nothing thicker. It took some convincing, but he was willing to do it! After advice from Joseph Corlett, I told our fabricator that we didn't plan on putting heavy dishes on our shelf (which is true, since we plan on putting a few decorative things but keeping it mostly spare) and so even if it weakens the stone, it won't be used like a countertop. He finally said ok, as long as we don't plan on using it for dish storage. It gave me confidence to push for it since Joseph said it was possible. I asked our fabricator if he would have been willing to do the same thing in soap stone if he knew nothing heavy was going on the shelves, and he said yes. So hopefully this info helps you! Maybe you can install the steel brackets (we got ours from the original granite brackets company online) after talking to your fabricator about embedding it in the stone, if you don't plan on putting heavy items on your shelf....See MoreShould floating shelves extend to the end of kitchen peninsula?
