Hi,
I bought a shelf which I would like to fit to a solid wall in a Victorian property. The wall is the dividing wall between us and the neighbour, so I assume it's brick. From what I've read they tend to be about 225mm thick, so I should be safe to drill in to at least 100mm?
The shelf is floating, and I've attached a picture of it. From what I understand it needs to be fixed on to a screw, or something similar and then will slide on to it? The opening is just under 10mm, so any screw head would need to be less than that.
Can anyone recommend a fixing which would support the appropriate weight (we're thinking about 15kg-20kg) and would be small enough to fit in to the slot?
I bought these: https://timco.co.uk/50050HF-nylon-hammer-fixing-pz-zinc
But I need the screw to be fairly flush with the wall so the shelf doesnt protrude. I cant find any information about hammer fixings to see if its fine to screw it in past the thread so that only a small portion of the screw is actually protruding? Also it doesn't say how much weight it's expected to hold.
Thanks!
