Can anyone suggest a product to help me with my situation please.

I would like 2 floating shelves installed in my bathroom.

They would be approx 55cm wide and 40cm deep.

I would like a counter top basin on one of them and the other floating shelf below would just be for towels etc.

The outer of the shelves would be oak and a different type of wood inside to be lighter/less expensive.

Now, I believe the wall where the floating shelves would be placed is a cavity wall (1930s mid terrace).

Can anyone suggest a fixing for this type of wall, bearing in mind the type of wall and that it will have to support a shelf, plus a 10kg basin plus water in addition to this.

Mounting the shelves is fairly easy compared with constructing them, are you having shelves made to order?
 
yes made to order as a favour, but the person making them isnt 100% what to use fixing wise with regard to the combination of the wall type and the weight it will have to hold. thanks

If its a brick cavity wall then ideally have metalwork to hold shelves made as one and run to floor , cut back plaster and bury steel frame , fill and tile?
Most wall hung toilets use a metal frame mouted off the floor for high strength.
