Installation guide
Wasteless
Wall shelf
What you need and how to put up Wasteless, one step at a time. The screws and wall plugs come in the box.
You'll need
- Drill with 10 mm bit
- T25 driver bit
- 3 mm hex key (Allen key)
- Spirit level
In the box
- 1x Wasteless wall shelf (with pre-inserted set screws)
- T25 mounting screws
- Wall plugs
- Brass tubes
- Brass washers
Before you drill
Before drilling, use a detector to check the wall for hidden pipes or electrical wiring.
Step by step
-
Measure and mark
Hold the Wasteless wall shelf against the wall at the desired height. Use a spirit level to ensure it is straight. Mark the mounting points on the wall based on the holes in the central dowel.
-
Drill holes
- For masonry or concrete walls: Drill holes at the marked positions using a 10 mm drill bit.
- For plasterboard walls: Drill through the board with the same bit and use the wall plugs from the box.
- For wooden walls: Do not use the 10 mm bit. Instead, pre-drill 6 mm pilot holes for the mounting screws. Wall plugs are not needed for wood.
Important: Always drill straight (perpendicular to the wall).
-
Insert wall plugs
Insert the provided 10 mm wall plugs into the drilled holes (not in a wooden wall).
-
Install mounting screws
Place a brass washer onto each T25 mounting screw. Using the T25 bit, drive the mounting screws into the wall (or wall plugs). Tighten until the washers sit flush against the wall.
-
Attach brass tubes
Slide a brass tube over each exposed mounting screw head, covering the washer and screw.
-
Mount the shelf
Place the Wasteless wall shelf onto the wall-mounted screws/tubes. Secure the shelf by tightening the pre-inserted set screws on the back of the central dowel using the 3 mm hex key.
Important: Do not overtighten, as this may affect the stability of the shelf.
Cleaning and care
- Wood: Treat with furniture wax oil as needed.
- Brass: Polish with grade 0000 steel wool. Optionally, apply varnish (lacquer) to prevent patina (aging).
