Create sleek and sturdy floating shelves with Federal Brace Flat Floating Shelf Rods—engineered for strength, durability, and a clean, seamless appearance. Made from high-strength American steel, these supports are available in a beautiful powder-coated black finish. The mounting plate, measuring 1.75" x 1.75", ensures a secure installation directly into wall studs, which should be spaced 16 inches apart for optimal support. Each flat bar support can carry up to 35 pounds when properly installed, providing dependable stability for your shelving.
For best results, shelves should not extend more than 2 inches beyond the length of the flat shelf rod to avoid visible deflection. Perfect for kitchens, offices, or living spaces, these supports combine a minimalist aesthetic with reliable performance to bring your custom floating shelves to life.
This product was designed to be installed into low-profile shelving where the bracket is set into the sheetrock and installed directly into the face of the stud to allow for the bracket thickness of 1/4" to be accommodated, achieving a perfect "floating" appearance.
