How It Works
- 1
Enquiry
Briefly describe the shelf, the wall and what will go on it. A photo helps, but is not required. You get a price and a suggested appointment.
- 2
Scan, Measure, Mount
We check the wall, mark the position with a laser level and set the right anchors. The shelf hangs level and holds the planned load.

Check & Clean Up
You check hold and alignment. We vacuum the drill dust and take the packaging away.
We handle shelf mounting in Vienna: floating shelves, rail shelving systems, heavy-duty shelves and wall cabinets. On Altbau brick, drywall or concrete, level and fixed for the actual load. From €40, with a fixed price upfront.
A shelf hangs crooked or pulls out when the anchor does not suit the wall or the load was underestimated. That is why we first ask what goes on the shelf. Then we choose the anchors and the number of brackets.
Floating Shelf Mounting: One Shelf or a Whole Wall
A floating shelf has no visible brackets. The whole load hangs on a hidden bracket in the wall, so the wall has to hold particularly well. For rail systems, we align every rail with a laser. Each level sits horizontal, even if the floor or ceiling is uneven.
Heavy-Duty Shelf Mounting
Books, tools or wine weigh more than you think. For heavy loads we use more fixing points and heavy-duty anchors. In soft Altbau brick we often use injection mortar, an anchor that is bonded into the drill hole.
Wall Cabinet Mounting
We mount wall cabinets in bathrooms, kitchens and living rooms, from any brand. A fully loaded kitchen wall cabinet easily weighs 30 to 40 kg, and we plan the fixing for that. For a complete kitchen, see our kitchen installation service.
Shelf Mounting in Vienna's Altbau: Why the Anchor Matters
In Altbau apartments, the masonry is often soft brick under thick plaster. A simple expansion plug pushes the brick apart instead of gripping it. Under a full shelf, it loosens over time.
For heavy shelves in Altbau we therefore use heavy-duty anchors made for brick, or injection mortar. The mortar fills the drill hole and bonds the threaded rod to the masonry without expansion pressure. The anchors also need to reach through the plaster into the load-bearing masonry.
The deeper a floating shelf, the harder it pulls at the top of the wall. For heavy books, a shallower shelf with more fixing points is often the better choice.
Important Safety Notes
Overloaded Shelves
A shelf with the wrong anchors can pull out of the wall when fully loaded. In Altbau brick the risk is especially high with simple expansion plugs. We plan every mounting for the load that will actually go on it.
FAQs
How much does shelf mounting cost in Vienna?
A floating shelf up to 80 cm from €40, larger from €60. Rail system with 2 to 3 levels from €70, heavy-duty shelf from €80, wall cabinet from €40. For several shelves in one visit you get a package price. We recommend a fixed price upfront.
How much weight can a shelf hold on drywall?
With metal cavity anchors, a drywall wall holds roughly 15 to 25 kg per fixing point, depending on the anchor and the board. For more load we fix into the stud frame behind the board or add a reinforcement. We tell you honestly what your wall can take before mounting.
How many brackets does my shelf need?
It depends on length and load. As a rule of thumb: two brackets up to 80 cm, then roughly one more every 40 to 60 cm. For heavy loads or long solid wood shelves we add more fixing points.
Do I need to buy anchors and screws?
No. We bring anchors for every wall type: nylon plugs, Fischer Duopower, heavy-duty anchors and injection mortar for brick, cavity anchors for drywall and concrete anchors. You don't need to buy anything.
How long does shelf mounting take?
A single floating shelf takes 20 to 40 minutes. A rail system with two to three levels takes 45 to 90 minutes. Several shelves are done in one visit.
