What is the Hovr Slim?
A slim-profile structural floating-shelf bracket: male and female aircraft-grade aluminum extrusions that interlock and are pinned by a stainless set screw – rated to 125 lbs at an 8-inch depth.* Built for thinner shelves that still need real holding power.
Who's it for
Builders, renovators, millwork shops, and DIYers who want floating shelves that hold real weight on any wall – drywall, brick, plaster, or concrete.
How it installs
Index the included template to your studs, drill, mount the rail, slot the bracket in, and pin it with the set screw. Slide your routed shelf over the top – flat, flush, and rated to hold.
What walls it works with
Drywall over studs, plaster, brick, and concrete – anything with solid backing, using the appropriate anchor. Anchor into as many studs as possible.
Warranty & returns
Lifetime hardware warranty against manufacturing defects, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What size bracket do I need?
Match the bracket length to your shelf: 2 Ft fits up to a 31" shelf, 4 Ft up to 63", and the 2-Pack 8 Ft up to 125". You can also cut a longer bracket down to size.
Will I see the set screws?
No – 99% of the time you won't see underneath the shelf or the set screws. If it's a concern, you can add a filler for the holes.
What's the minimum shelf thickness?
We recommend at least 2" thick when using the aluminum bracket, and never thinner than 1¾". The bracket is 1½" thick, so you want at least ¼" of material top and bottom.
What walls does it work with?
Drywall over studs, plaster, brick, and concrete – anything with solid backing, using the right anchor for your wall type. Anchor into as many studs as possible.
Do I need special tools?
A drill, level, and a router (or table saw) to cut the shelf channel. First-time installs should add the Installation Bit Pack, which includes the cobalt and tap bits needed to seat the bracket.
Shipping & returns?
Free shipping on 2 Ft & 4 Ft bracket orders over $149. 8 Ft brackets ship free in sets of 4 or more (two 2-packs). Plus a 30-day money-back guarantee. Hardware is covered by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
