Why Professional Shelving Installation Matters
Our professional and experienced Franschhoek handyman team install shelving for safe, secure, and functional storage. Shelves must be installed correctly because improperly secured shelves pull out of walls causing damage and injury, shelves that are not level look terrible and items slide off, wrong wall fixings for wall type result in failure, overloaded shelves without adequate support collapse, shelves in wrong locations waste space and look awkward, and DIY installations often use inadequate screws and brackets. Professional installation ensures shelves are safe, secure, level, and positioned perfectly for your needs.
Different Wall Types Need Different Fixings
We install shelving on all wall types using appropriate fixings - solid brick and concrete walls require masonry anchors and drilling, cavity brick walls need special toggle or sleeve anchors that grip the cavity, drywall and rhinoboard require wall anchors rated for the load or fixing into studs, wooden walls allow direct screw fixing into timber, and tiled walls require careful drilling to avoid cracking tiles. Using wrong fixings is the primary cause of shelf failures. We assess your wall type and use correct fixings for safe, permanent installations.
