Load Capacity Guidelines

Our engineered floating shelf bracket systems are designed for exceptional strength and precision alignment. Each system is tested to support at least 100 pounds under normal conditions, when installed into structural wall framing using proper fasteners and techniques.

Performance & Conditions

Actual load capacity will vary depending on:

  • Wall type (drywall over wood studs, metal studs, masonry, etc.)

  • Stud spacing and alignment

  • Fastener type and installation accuracy

  • Load distribution and shelf span

For installations where maximum load capacity is critical, such as in commercial, retail, or heavy duty applications, professional installation by qualified tradespeople is strongly recommended.

What’s Covered

Our brackets are warranted against structural failure or deformation resulting from manufacturing defects when properly installed and used within stated capacity limits.

Trade Use

For designers, builders, and contractors, these systems are suitable for both residential and commercial environments when installed in accordance with industry standards and our published specifications. Technical data, CAD files, and substrate guidelines are available upon request for trade partners.

Limitations of Liability

Gentry Stinson assumes no responsibility or liability for:

  • Improper installation or unsupported wall structures

  • Use of non-approved hardware or anchors

  • Exceeding recommended weight limits

  • Modifications, field alterations, or misuse

  • Damage, injury, or loss resulting from installation errors or failure to follow published instructions

It is the installer’s responsibility to verify that wall composition, anchoring methods, and environmental conditions are suitable for the intended load and application.
