As seen in

Built for every floating shelf project.

One bracket system that adapts to the wall, the shelf, and the load in front of you. It's a match if you:

Want shelves that hold real weight without sagging
Build or renovate and need faster, cleaner installs
Mount to drywall, brick, plaster, or concrete
Want one stock length you cut to any project
Are done with callbacks from cheap 2-prong brackets

Engineered strength

Tested to hold 300 lbs at an 8-inch depth.^*

The industry-standard 2-prong bracket relies on loose rods and a weak connection, and tops out around 20–50 lbs. Hovr's male and female extrusions interlock and are pinned by a set screw – roughly 13× the holding power, tested across substrates and depths. No shift, no sag, no callbacks.

Shelves cut to different lengths with the bracket channel installed

Cut to length

One stock, every length

Uniform aluminum you cut to size – run near 1:1 to the shelf for max strength or 2:3 to trim cost on lighter installs.

6063 T6 aluminum

Aircraft-grade extrusion

The same alloy family used in structural aerospace parts – light, rigid, corrosion-resistant.

Floating shelves mounted on a textured plaster wall

Any substrate

Mounts to nearly anything

Anchor to the studs through any wall surface and fit into any shelf with solid backing – just match the hardware to the needs of your install.

Two profiles

Classic & Slim

Classic for heavy loads, Slim for thinner shelves – one system that fits any build.

The set screw

Locked, not balanced

A stainless set screw fastens the two brackets together – adding rigidity and keeping the shelf put, even from an accidental bump.

How it works

Buy brackets

Aluminum bracket channel routed into a wood shelf

Step 1: Rout the channel

Rout the bracket channel into the back of your shelf – it sits hidden and is anchored into the wood with high-quality screws.

Step 2: Mount to the wall

Firmly anchor the matching bracket into the studs on the wall – level, flush, and solid.

Step 3: Connect & lock

Angle the shelf down into place to connect it with the wall bracket, then tighten the set screws to lock the two together securely.

Why builders and woodworkers switched.
