Glass thickness and edges
Choose tempered or toughened glass of 6 to 10 mm for shelves, with polished edges and rounded corners. Thin 4 mm annealed glass can break easily and shatters into sharp pieces. Check for chips and a clean finish.
Brackets
Brackets should be stainless steel, chrome or aluminium with rubber pads and tight grips. Fix them into solid wall with plugs, and use enough brackets for the span, two for up to 80 cm and three for longer shelves.
Weight limits
A 8 mm shelf of 60 cm may carry 8 to 15 kg depending on brackets. Keep heavy items low on the wall and spread weight evenly. Do not use glass shelves for very heavy items.
Hanging wine glass shelfs
Wine glass shelfs fix under cabinets or shelves and hold stems in slots. Check slot width for your glasses and fix securely, since a full rack carries several kilograms.
Safety and care
Keep glass shelves away from foot traffic and children, wipe with glass cleaner and check fixings yearly. Fixing and assembly should be done carefully, with wall fixings suited to the wall type and the load checked against the maker's rating.
Before you decide
Choose tempered glass with polished edges and strong brackets and respect weight limits. Measure the space and the largest item you need to fit, check the material, finish and load rating, compare at least two quotes or products on the same specification and keep the invoice and any warranty. Ask for photographs of the actual item or a sample, confirm delivery and assembly in writing and inspect the delivered piece for damage before the delivery person leaves. Prices change with material costs and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide, and be careful with very low prices that hide thin materials or poor finishing.
