How To Attach Shelf To Wall. Metal studs are an environmentally friendly building material due to their ability to be recycled. What is the best way to attach shelves to a tiled wall in a way that can be easily repaired with minimal noticeable damage?
These systems work by means of metal standards attached vertically to the wall with screws driven into studs.
A clause about having no nails gives me reason to believe there may very those are usually used to put up hooks, but in theory, you might be able to use some to attach a couple of brackets to a wall and put a shelf on them. More often, there are two keyhole slots on the back, allowing you to fasten nails or screws to the wall, then slip the heads through the wider part of the openings and then lower the shelf into place over the narrower areas. I really wanted my shelves to be thick and beefy looking. Then get your power drill and drill directly into the stud (if there's one where you're hanging), or grab a nifty wallmate and pop this into.
