Perspex® shelving and cases
Mounting options
Brackets
Open or concealed wall brackets.
Standoffs
Aluminium standoffs for a floating look.
Hidden fixings
Clean facade, fixings concealed.
Wall Type & Installation
Brick/concrete: Expansion or sleeve anchors with brackets, standoffs or hidden‑fix rails. Drywall/gypsum: Toggle bolts to studs/cleats; shorten spans or add intermediate supports; reinforced mounting with backing boards or steel brackets for heavier loads. Mixed walls: Use concealed cleats/rails to pick up solid points; we’ll advise spacing.
Mounting options: Hidden‑fix (concealed rail), open/concealed brackets, aluminium standoffs, and reinforced bracket + cleat combinations for high loads. Send photos or drawings for accurate advice and hardware selection.
Sizing tips
Span vs thickness
Longer spans need thicker acrylic to minimise deflection.
Vertical spacing
Plan shelf spacing for tallest items + hand clearance.
Ask us
We’ll recommend sizes & fixings for your load and substrate.
Load Capacity & Support
What affects load: shelf thickness, span (width between supports), fixing method, and wall substrate.
Guidance:
• Light retail items (cosmetics, small packs): 6–8 mm acrylic, 400–600 mm span, concealed brackets or standoffs.
• Medium loads (jars, electronics demos): 8–10 mm acrylic, 400–500 mm span, bracket or rail with intermediate support.
• Heavier displays (books, bottles): 10–12 mm+ acrylic, 300–450 mm span, bracket + cleat, consider hidden‑fix rails.
Note: Final capacity depends on your exact dimensions, mounting hardware and wall condition. We’ll size and specify fixings to suit your load.
Pricing varies by size, quantity and finish — request a tailored quote.

Cabinets & Shelves FAQ
Typical turnaround 5–10 working days • Rush options on request
What are typical lead times?
Most projects take 5–10 working days after approval, depending on complexity and volume.
How are shelves mounted?
We offer wall brackets, standoffs or hidden fixings. We’ll advise based on load and substrate.
What weight can acrylic shelves hold?
It depends on thickness, span and fixing method. Light items (cosmetics, small packs): 6–8 mm acrylic, 400–600 mm spans. Medium loads (jars, electronics): 8–10 mm, 400–500 mm spans. Heavier displays (books, bottles): 10–12 mm+, 300–450 mm spans. We’ll size material and fixings to suit your specific load.
Which fixings are best for my wall?
Brick/concrete: expansion or sleeve anchors. Drywall: toggle bolts to studs/cleats, shorter spans or extra supports. Mixed walls: rails/cleats with flexible spacing. Share photos for accurate advice.
Can you add branding?
Yes — UV print, decals, laser engraving and illuminated elements are available.
How do I clean and maintain acrylic?
Use a soft microfiber cloth with mild soapy water. Avoid ammonia or abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching. For hairline scuffs, use a plastic polish. We can supply care guides on request.
Do you ship countrywide?
Yes. We courier nationwide or arrange collection from Johannesburg.
Can you do custom sizes and finishes?
Yes. Built to spec with clear, frosted or tinted acrylic, polished/chamfered edges, and optional branding (UV print, decals, engraving).
Unusual walls or mixed-material interiors?
Yes. We’ll recommend rails/cleats or bracket combinations to suit tile, glass, timber cladding or mixed substrates. Send photos/drawings for accurate advice.
When should I choose a cabinet over open shelves?
Pick cabinets for dust control, lockable security or premium lighting. Choose open shelves for quick access and frequent restocking.
