How to install floating timber shelf on tile wall?

Hi there!

I'm looking to add a narrow floating timber shelf to my bathroom cabinet. I've attached an image of the shelf for reference, though it's not a bathroom. I'm hoping to achieve a similar look.

I'm unsure about the best products to use and the installation process, especially considering the tiled bathroom wall. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Installation of Floating Timber Shelf to Tile Wall

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Salriously. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about installing a floating shelf.

To install a floating timber shelf in your bathroom, consider using the Flexi Storage Decorative Shelving Oak 900 x 240 x 38mm Floating Shelf. This shelf provides a sleek, stylish look and comes with fixings for timber and plasterboard surfaces.

 

For your tiled wall, you'll need to make a few adjustments. Start by pre-drilling the tile using a tile drill bit to prevent cracking. Once the holes are drilled, insert expanding wall toggles into the pre-drilled holes. These toggles will provide a secure anchor for the shelf in the tiled surface. Follow the included instructions to attach the shelf brackets, ensuring a level and stable installation.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
