What is the Hovr Classic?

A structural floating-shelf bracket: male and female aircraft-grade aluminum extrusions that interlock and are pinned by a stainless set screw – rated to 300 lbs at an 8-inch depth.* No shift, no sag, no callbacks.

Who's it for

Builders, renovators, millwork shops, and DIYers who want floating shelves that hold real weight on any wall – drywall, brick, plaster, or concrete.

How it installs

Index the included template to your studs, drill, mount the rail, slot the bracket in, and pin it with the set screw. Slide your routed shelf over the top – flat, flush, and rated to hold.

What walls it works with

Drywall over studs, plaster, brick, and concrete – anything with solid backing, using the appropriate anchor. Anchor into as many studs as possible.

Warranty & returns

Lifetime hardware warranty against manufacturing defects, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Easy to install

Simple installation

Aluminum bracket channel routed into a wood shelf

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.

Mount to the wall

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

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.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What size bracket do I need?

Match the bracket length to your shelf: 2 Ft fits up to a 31" shelf, 4 Ft up to 63", and the 2-Pack 8 Ft up to 125". You can also cut a longer bracket down to size.

Will I see the set screws?

No – 99% of the time you won't see underneath the shelf or the set screws. If it's a concern, you can add a filler for the holes.

What's the minimum shelf thickness?

We recommend at least 2" thick when using the aluminum bracket, and never thinner than 1¾". The bracket is 1½" thick, so you want at least ¼" of material top and bottom.

What walls does it work with?

Drywall over studs, plaster, brick, and concrete – anything with solid backing, using the right anchor for your wall type. Anchor into as many studs as possible.

Do I need special tools?

A drill, level, and a router (or table saw) to cut the shelf channel. First-time installs should add the Installation Bit Pack, which includes the cobalt and tap bits needed to seat the bracket.

Shipping & returns?

Free shipping on 2 Ft & 4 Ft bracket orders over $149. 8 Ft brackets ship free in sets of 4 or more (two 2-packs). Plus a 30-day money-back guarantee. Hardware is covered by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Reviews

What customers say.

The impossible made possible

Using olive wood to make floating shelves. Too much character in the wood to drill long holes. Hovr was cut and used and performed perfectly.

Hey Bill, thanks for your kind words and for using Hovr and sharing some pictures of your install - We appreciate it!

A modern French Cleat

This bracket is very nicely designed and does what it’s meant to do. Taking care to create an accurate mortise, it was fairly easy to hang a heavy historic barnwood mantle. The instructions and associated videos were very helpful, particularly with regards to NOT over tightening the fasteners to the wall. A little wiggle room is essential with old imperfect timbers. Thanks for a great product. I hope to be able to use it again in the future.

Hey J, thanks for reviewing and for using our hardware and sharing some pics of the install! Thrilled to hear you enjoyed the brackets and our thanks for the kind words!

Excellent bracket system

I feel confident my floating shelves can withstand the weight of books. This is an excellent bracket system to achieve the floating shelf look. Pictures from our kitchen shelf install.

Thanks for the review and for using our hardware! Love the kitchen shelves, very cool with the glass rack build!

Great system

We use HOVR all the time for our Green River Woods clients in Asheville and all over the country. Elegant and effective, sturdy and reliable. Good company and good customer service too.
