Installation in Three Steps

Mount your floating shelves with ease using this quick and secure step-by-step guide.

Mark & Pre‑drill

Start by finding two wall studs (ideally 40–60 cm apart) using a stud finder or tap test. Mark your shelf height with a pencil and use a level to ensure everything is level.

For concrete or block walls, measure your spacing and use an 8 mm bit to pre-drill holes for the supplied anchors.

Secure the Bracket

Insert anchors into block walls or drill into studs with screws, ensuring at least one hits a stud. Check the level before tightening.

Slide & Lock

Slide the shelf onto the hidden bracket until it fits snugly, then secure it with the built-in grub screws underneath. This locks everything in place, so your shelves are ready for décor, tools, or plant pots.

Care & Maintenance

Follow these simple tips for Mandaue Foam’s DIY floating shelves.

Wipe clean regularly using a slightly damp cloth and a mild dish soap solution. Clean any spots or spills and dry the surface immediately to prevent moisture damage.

Avoid harsh cleaners, scrubbers, or abrasive chemicals—they can dull the finish or damage materials.

Retighten screws as needed, at least every six months.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How Far Apart Should I Space Multiple Floating Shelves?

A good rule of thumb is 18–24 cm between shelves to give tall décor and books enough breathing room. This vertical spacing also keeps your wall installation looking balanced and stylish.

What Kind of Wall Surface Works Best for These Shelves?

These shelves work well on solid surfaces like wood studs or concrete blocks. Use toggle or molly-style anchors to secure them safely if you're using hollow block walls.

Can I Lift a Bed With These Shelves (Bed Lift Hack)?

No. Mandaue Foam’s floating shelves are made for décor and light storage only. They are not designed to support the weight or motion of lifting a bed.
