With no slots to line up, it's only necessary to get the uprights vertical
when fixing them to the wall. Not a difficult task.
Uprights are typically spaced between 600 and 900mm apart. The thicker
your shelf, the less deflection when you load it. This is an 18mm-thick
shelf on 200mm brackets.
You can add an insert to hold a glass shelf in position. This is a 180mm-deep
shelf in 6mm toughened glass with smoothed edges.
What about timber shelves? Inexpensive 15mm material can be bought from
any DIY outlet. Or you can spend more on something classy like this 20mm
board with solid beech lipping and a post-veneered waxed finish. You won't
shelves like this in the shops, but we have suppliers who can make them
- or any other kind of shelf - to order.
Note from NB: This picture and the previous one
should be on a Home Office and/or Fitted Garage theme. In the absence
of suitable material, I've use these instead. Nice shots, I thought -
and they can go on to the "More on furniture..." page once we've
decided what to include in the range.

A
better shelving system
Looks better,
works better, and lots easier to install
The Click shelf-bracket
is the component which first gave the system its name: put the bracket
into an upright channel, and it engages with a 'click': you can then locate
it at any height. It's a wonderfully neat and efficient design.
Once you've put up some Click
wall-uprights, you'll wonder why you ever bothered with the slotted sort.
Infinite adjustability eliminates a whole bunch of installation problems.
What's the alignment objective - actual or apparent level (they're seldom
the same)? What to do if your drill hits an obstacle and the first hole
finishes up out of position? Whether to start again if you find your slots
are misaligned? With Click, these questions simply don't arise.
Wall-hung
or floor-standing?
But there's more to Click than
just wall-mounted shelving - because these elegant cantilever brackets
are just part of a general-purpose construction system which can be used
for all kinds of free-standing cabinetry.
This section shows a range
of shelving, storage and furniture designs, including both wall-mounted
and free-standing structures. All are suitable for domestic, institutional
or commercial use - and all are available in hardware-only form (do your
own shelves and panels) - or as ready-to-build kits.
Interchangeable
elements
Click is the only shelving system whose shelves and brackets are interchangeable
between wall-mounted uprights and free-standing structures. So you have
the option of using both types in a mix-&-match design - and of re-configuring,
upgrading or moving the elements later. No ordinary wall-mounted or free-standing
system gives you this degree of flexibility.
An
office in the home
In developing the designs in this section, we've paid particular attention
to the growing need of many people for a professional standard of office-type
work space in the home - one where simple shelving and desk-space is combined
with computer housing, wire management, filing, and space for peripheral
equipment such as printers.
The
Fitted Garage
Another concept we've been exploring is how to put the spare space in
your garage to constructive use. This could be for basic workshop activities,
or something more ambitious, such as dividing off a space to create a
study or workroom. To demonstrate the possibilities, we've introduced
kits tailored to some typical system-built garages, such as the 30' x
12' Marley. These designs can easily be modified to fit other sizes of
building: and we'll be happy to help you find the solution you need, with
no design charges.
