Floating shelves

IM

I saw this article in the paper at the weekend http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,,1772665,00.html and have had a look at the brackets it refers to http://www.sdslondon.co.uk/products.php?parent_id=244

The article refers to the T-shaped brackets, but the other ones look like they might allow for a bit of adjustment, to compensate for slight non-alignment of drill holes – but it’s not entirely clear.

Has anyone else got any experience of using these?

I’m looking to knock up a couple of chunky radiator shelves, about 40-50mm thick. Which ones do you reckon I should go for, and what kind of spacing would I need (how many brackets per linear metre)?

Cheers all.

These from IKEA are nice and chunky and float too!

OK if you happen to want those sizes...

I've been looking for an off-the-shelf (if you'll pardon the pun) floating radiator shelf, but there don't appear to be any out there - all the ones I've seen are too deep.
