FORME FLOATING SHELF AND MIRROR (FV034):

Furniture Installation

Your new storage unit has been produced to the highest 
possible standards. Please inspect your tray when 
delivered prior to signing to ensure all is correct and not 
damaged. 

TOOLS:

Drill and drill bits 
Spirit level 
Tape measure 
Caulking gun
Masking tape 
Screws 
Screwdriver 

Silicone sealant 
Cleaning materials 
Pencil
Wall Board adhesive (No 
More Nails)
3M Double sided mirror tape 
PVA (or similar wood glue)

The timber cleat should be fitted to a solid horizontal 
plate (minimum 75mm x 50mm) or vertical studs in the 
wall using four 10g x 75mm countersunk screws.

STEP ONE:

Having established the position you want the floating 
shelf mirror mark a level line on the wall where the base 
of the mirror shelf will sit. Traditionally this is 1200mm 
from the floor.

STEP TWO:

Find the horizontal plate, and wall stud or nog and 
measure up from the pencil mark on the wall to identify 
the positioning for four points (as per front page 
diagram) where the screws will anchor the cleat to the 
timber behind the wall.

Place wall board adhesive on 
the back of the cleat; place 
the cleat on the wall level with 
the pencil mark. 

Screw through the cleat in 
the previously measured 
positions into the wall studs 
or nogs, leaving the screws 
level with the face of the face 
of the cleat. If you are unable 
to locate anything solid in the 
wall to fix the cabinet to, we 
recommend that you use a 
toggle or similar system.

STEP FOUR:

Place four 50mm pieces of double sided mirror tape 
on to the back of the mirror, and if desired place four 
or five dabs of silicon onto the back of the mirror for 
extra adherence.

Place a small amount of silicon in the channel at the 
back of the Floating Shelf, and carefully put the mirror 
into the channel and push towards the wall. The 
double sided tape and the silicon will hold your mirror 
in place.

When the end of the mirror is flush with the end of the 
back of the mirror cabinet, clean the excess silicon 
from the channel of the floating mirror shelf and leave 
for the wallboard adhesive and the silicon to set.
