The timber cleat should be fitted to a solid horizontal
plate (minimum 75mm x 50mm) or vertical studs in the
wall using four 10g x 75mm countersunk screws.
STEP ONE:
Having established the position you want the floating
shelf mirror mark a level line on the wall where the base
of the mirror shelf will sit. Traditionally this is 1200mm
from the floor.
STEP TWO:
Find the horizontal plate, and wall stud or nog and
measure up from the pencil mark on the wall to identify
the positioning for four points (as per front page
diagram) where the screws will anchor the cleat to the
timber behind the wall.
Place wall board adhesive on
the back of the cleat; place
the cleat on the wall level with
the pencil mark.
Screw through the cleat in
the previously measured
positions into the wall studs
or nogs, leaving the screws
level with the face of the face
of the cleat. If you are unable
to locate anything solid in the
wall to fix the cabinet to, we
recommend that you use a
toggle or similar system.

STEP FOUR:
Place four 50mm pieces of double sided mirror tape
on to the back of the mirror, and if desired place four
or five dabs of silicon onto the back of the mirror for
extra adherence.
Place a small amount of silicon in the channel at the
back of the Floating Shelf, and carefully put the mirror
into the channel and push towards the wall. The
double sided tape and the silicon will hold your mirror
in place.
When the end of the mirror is flush with the end of the
back of the mirror cabinet, clean the excess silicon
from the channel of the floating mirror shelf and leave
for the wallboard adhesive and the silicon to set.
