Frequently Asked Questions
Will a shelf hold my printer?
Depends on the printer and shelf - most home/office printers are 5-15kg, which a properly mounted shelf handles fine. Heavy laser printers (20kg+) need substantial brackets and solid wall fixing. I'll check your printer weight and spec the right shelf.
Can you mount it to any wall?
Solid walls are ideal. Plasterboard needs anchoring into studs for anything heavy like a printer. I'll check your wall and use appropriate fixings - printers are worth doing properly or they'll end up on the floor.
How high should it be?
High enough to be out of the way, low enough to reach paper trays and buttons comfortably. Usually around chest height works well. We'll test the height before drilling anything.
What about cables?
Printer needs power and USB/network cable. I'll position the shelf where cables can reach and route them neatly. Sometimes worth adding a power socket nearby if your nearest one is miles away.
Do I need to buy the shelf?
Yes - shelf choice depends on your printer size and weight. I can advise on what'll work and pick one up if you haven't got one already.
