Description
Reliable Bespoke Storage with Adjustable Bookcase Strips
Cabinet makers and interior joiners often face a familiar problem when designing built-in furniture. Fixed shelves limit future flexibility, whilst low quality plastic supports can easily sag, crack, or shear off under heavy loads. Whether you are outfitting a busy domestic study, a commercial library, or a dining room display cabinet, shelving needs to adapt to changing collections of heavy hardbacks, files, and ornament collections without bowing or losing alignment over time.
The 7476 6ft Aluminium Universal Bookcase Shelving Strip offers a neat, time-tested solution to this common joinery headache. Manufactured from high grade extruded aluminium, this six foot upright track provides continuous, flush fitting vertical adjustment. Its slender profile lets you set shelf heights exactly where you want them, giving your clients complete freedom to reorganise their space whenever their storage requirements evolve.
Supplied directly by Doorfit, this shelving strip combines a clean metallic look with long lasting durability. Because it can be surface mounted or cleanly rebated flush into timber carcasses, it gives your custom furniture projects a professional, high end appearance that easily blends into both traditional joinery and contemporary minimalist interiors.
Installation and Fitting Guidelines
1. Preparation and Carcass Routing
Accurately mark the vertical positions along the inside of your cabinet sides. For a clean, flush appearance, route a neat groove matching the profile width and depth of the aluminium strip. Alternatively, you can surface mount directly onto timber uprights where quick assembly is needed.
2. Cutting to Length
Measure your internal carcass height carefully. You can trim the 6ft strip quickly with a standard fine toothed hacksaw or non-ferrous chop saw blade. Deburr the cut ends with a flat file to ensure smooth, safe edges prior to securing.
3. Fixing into Position
Secure each upright strip using suitable countersunk wood screws through the pre-punched fixing points. Ensure the slots on opposite sides align horizontally. Consistent height alignment ensures your shelves remain perfectly level once installed.
4. Inserting Shelf Studs
Insert compatible universal bookcase shelf studs into the chosen adjustment slots. Push the studs home until firmly engaged, then place your timber or board shelves onto the supports for immediate, rock steady load bearing performance.
Key Features and Practical Benefits
- Durable Extruded Aluminium. Built to withstand everyday wear and tear without rusting, chipping, or snapping under heavy book stacks.
- Generous Six Foot Length. The six foot length is ideal for tall alcove units, floor to ceiling home libraries, and standalone office credenzas.
- Surface or Recessed Fitting. Can be routed into timber for a smooth, unobtrusive finish or screwed directly onto existing surfaces for rapid retrofit installations.
- Incremental Shelf Adjustment. Closely spaced retention slots allow you to tailor shelf heights to awkward books, display items, or archive folders.
- Universal Compatibility. Accepts standard bookcase studs and clips, giving you plenty of options for varied shelf materials.
