Floating shelves

Posted by Lindsay Rolfe, on
I would like to put up a corner floating shelf to put a microwave on. One wall is plasterboard and one wall sounds less hollow / possibly steel. Is it possible to put a floating shelf up in these conditions which can hold a large weight such as a microwave?

Hi Lindsay You should be cautious in putting a heavy item onto a floating shelf as they are not designed for them, generally they have a safe weight limit on the packaging which you should adhere to you also need heavy duty wall fixings
