Glass shelving offers a clever and often radiant style for a home. The transparency is alluring and oddly addictive, and it certainly has an aura of airiness and wistfulness that is highly sought after. Glass Shelving in Lancaster CA is very common, for all of these reasons. Yet, some designers recommend fixed brackets for shelves, and they often encourage a glass style for it. Is this sensible?
What are Fixed Brackets?
Firstly, what is a fixed bracket in reference to a shelf? A fixed bracket shelf is a part of a shelf that is connected to the wall. It is fixed in position and cannot be just moved or reorganized with ease. Fixed brackets are often single shelf units, but they could also work as multiple shelves. The design would have a few fixed brackets stacked on top of each other, with an obvious gap in between. Designers essentially create a shelving unit upon the wall, each shelf as its own fixed in place bracket.
The Benefit of Fixed Bracket
Fixed brackets are often argued as tacky because they are just shelves pressed against a wall. They are not furniture in the traditional sense and they aren’t mobile. Fixed brackets also have the distinction of being flimsy. This is, of course, the fault of the installer. Fixed brackets help to create additional room for items because these items are not taking up floor space or filling up a grounded shelf.
Could They Work as Glass?
Fixed brackets could absolutely work as Glass Shelving in Lancaster CA. Despite the misconception that they are flimsy, fixed brackets can be installed tightly and effectively. Designers may suggest not adding a lot of weight. Keep the glass tight in the wall, but do not push it by stocking books and other heavy items upon it. The bracket is largely a decorative addition- not necessarily an easily functional one. In other words, don’t stock toys on it.
