Metal Shelf Brackets
Metal offers greater strength for its weight, making it the perfect material for supporting heavy-duty loads on shelves. Our metal shelf brackets are available in various sizes and styles to accommodate your needs and personal taste.
Material
Steel and cast iron shelf brackets are just two examples of the metal shelf brackets we offer. Each metal has its own unique properties that make it suitable for specific applications and looks.
Style & Finish
At Van Dyke’s Restorers, we have metal shelf brackets that fit any style — from ultra-modern to Victorian. So whether you need something whimsical like dragonflies to hold up glass shelves or simply want to add a touch of modern industrial to your décor with simply shaped L-brackets, we have the perfect metal shelf bracket for the job. Many of our brackets are also available in varying finishes so you can choose the ideal match for your space.
Number of Brackets
The number of brackets you’ll need will depend on the size and weight of your shelves. For glass or lightweight shelves, two brackets are usually sufficient. Heavier duty metal or wood shelves may require four brackets for support. You’ll also need to consider how long your shelf will be. Those that span six feet or more will require additional brackets in the middle for support.
Installation & Weight Capacity
Metal shelf brackets are easy to install. However, the limiting factor of how much weight a shelf can hold is usually not the bracket itself but how securely mounted into the wall the bracket is.
