Master the art of mounting seamless floating shelves and mantels
In short: Learn the professional technique for installing white oak floating shelves and mantels. This video demonstrates how to use wall cleats to create a sleek, modern look on surfaces like shiplap without visible supports.
The demonstration features Jeff Sweenor and Kevin O'Connor installing white oak shelves and a mantel for homeowners in Westerly. The process involves mounting cleats directly onto the wall to support the weight of the shelves.
To achieve this seamless aesthetic, the oak components are prepared beforehand, having been assembled, glued, and dado-cut on a table saw. This method allows for a clean finish even when mounted on textured surfaces like shiplap.
