Custom Floating Shelves Exclusively Available at Grothouse
With this new product offering, Grothouse expanded the capabilities of floating shelf systems. Our solid wood shelves are available in all species, finishes and construction styles currently offered by Grothouse.
The innovative new features we are introducing are:

Substantial strength over previously available systems
A 100 lb. rating per 2′ increment with *NO SAG!* Limitations on strength are the fasteners used for installation and the studs/blocking they are attached to, not the shelves or support systems.
Tolerance for out of flat walls or studs
In most systems the installation of floating shelves is very finicky because the brackets must be installed parallel to slide the shelf on; if your wall is even slightly out-of-flat this is often difficult. The Grothouse system only needs to be installed level. Shims are NOT required in most applications.
Side-to-Side Adjustability
9/16″ side-to-side (each direction) as standard of the shelf on the bracket once the bracket is installed. Shelves can even be scribed on the side and then slid into place.
Easy Attachment and Removal
High strength magnetic mounts allow for test fitting and final installation of shelf on rods. If ever required, the shelf can be removed with some force. Hardware is completely hidden when installed.
Corner Floating Shelf Solutions
We have solutions for corner shelving when the shelves are open on both sides or with a cabinet on one side. This includes the ability to use either miter or butt joints on the shelves.
Factory integrated LED lighting
Lighting is supplied and custom sized for each shelf. In our process, the routing to happens before finishing and installation which means you and your client will have a perfectly finished shelf. Optional items include:
- 3K Warm White or 4K Cool White light temperature.
- Preinstalled White or Smoke diffusers.
- Controls & Drivers are selected for you depending on your needs.
- Three-year warranty on all LED components.
