Slotted Standard Accessories

A: Twin slot shelving can hold up to 55 kg per 200 mm vertically when screwed into a concrete wall with appropriate plugs and up to 110 kg when assembled correctly with another upright and two brackets. However, the weight capacity may vary depending on the wall material, the type of wall plugs and screws used, and the quality of the shelving components.

A: A shelving unit is a piece of furniture or a structure that provides storage space and organisation for various items, such as books, clothes, kitchenware, plants, etc. Shelving units can also serve as decorative elements that enhance the aesthetic appeal of a room by displaying personal effects, artworks, and ornaments.

A: Shelving can be versatile and multifunctional, as you can use it in different rooms, such as storing books, spices, towels, tools, etc. You can also change the function of the shelves over time as your needs and tastes change.

A: There is no definitive rule for spacing shelves, as it depends on the size and shape of the objects you want to store or display, as well as your preference and style. However, some general guidelines are.

A: The number of brackets you need per shelf depends on the length and depth of the shelf, as well as the weight and distribution of the items you want to put on the shelf. You should use at least two brackets per shelf, one at each end, and space them evenly along the wall. If your shelf is longer than 36 inches, you may need more than two brackets to prevent sagging. If your shelf is deeper than 12 inches, you may need more extended brackets to support the shelf.

A: The number of uprights you need for twin slot shelves depends on the length of the shelves and the distance between the uprights. As a guideline, we recommend at least two uprights for the first 100cm of shelf length and then at least one further upright for every additional 50cm.
