Shelves that are made of glass are well suited for the Hai-Tek style interior. Also, such shelves are very often installed in bathrooms. In addition to beauty and an attractive appearance, glass shelves are very practical, since they are easy to wash, and they do not absorb foreign substances. Everyone can attach a glass shelf, since usually manufacturers offer everything necessary in the set.
Of course, complex designs that are made of glass, for example, aprons for a kitchen or glass stairs, specialists with experience must be installed. The glass shelves are not attributed to such serious structures with a greater degree of responsibility, so they can be attached to the wall on their own.
Glass shelves are delivered. Typically, such a set may include a glass surface or several surfaces, brackets, as well as all the necessary accessories. Depending on the specific design of the regiment, some other components may have.
Detailed instructions are often offered to glass shelves. The instruction can have drawings if drawings that depict a sequence of actions that the master should perform in order to collect and fix the shelf on the wall.
Fasteners for the shelf have two parts. One part of the fasteners should be screwed to the glass surface, and the other to the walls.
First you need to collect that part of the fasteners that is screwed directly to the glass surface. It is not difficult to do this, since all the details, as well as the holes in the shelf are well fitted to each other. The only thing to remember is that it is impossible to tighten the fasteners too much, since the glass shelf is fragile and in the future, under a large weight it can simply crack. It may make sense to put rubber gaskets under the fasteners. If such gaskets do not go in the set to the glass shelf, they can be cut out of the suitable material that will be at hand.
When fastening elements are screwed to the glass shelf, the shelf can be placed to the wall and marks on it in the places of drilling.
Drill under the brackets with a suitable drill, which is selected individually, depending on the material to which the walls are covered.
The brackets are attached to drilled holes, after which the shelf can be fixed on them. She simply hangs on the brackets and is tightened with bolts and nuts.
At the last turn, fittings are collected and installed, as well as decorative pads on fasteners.
