Shelving Installation

Bookcase Wall Mounting in Dubai

Tall bookcases and display units can tip over when a child climbs them or a drawer is pulled out. Anchoring them to the wall is a simple, essential safety step. We mount and anchor bookcases, BILLY and KALLAX units and cabinets using heavy-duty anchors suited to your wall.

Why Every Tall Bookcase Should Be Anchored

Furniture tip-overs injure children every year, and most happen with tall, top-heavy furniture that was never anchored. The anti-tip kit in the box only works if it is fixed into the wall properly.

Gypsum walls need special care. A screw in plasterboard alone will not stop a falling bookcase, so we use metal cavity anchors or fix into the frame behind.

For more child safety, see furniture anchoring and baby proofing. For closets, see closet organiser installation.

    The bookcase is placed, levelled and packed so it sits tight to the wall.

    We identify the wall type and scan for pipes and cables.

  3. 03

    Fix the Anchor

    Anti-tip brackets or straps are fixed to the bookcase and the wall with rated anchors.
