ARCHITECTURAL BRACKETS
•Bracket for a shelf or hanging items.
•A bracket is an architectural element: a structural or decorative member.
•It can be made of wood, stone, plaster, metal, or other mediums.
•It projects from a wall, usually to carry weight and sometimes to
“…strengthen an angle".
•Brackets can support many architectural items, including a wall, balcony, parapets, eaves, the spring of
an arch, beams, pergola roof, or window box.
•In adjustable shelving systems, the bracket may be in two parts, with the load-bearing horizontal support
fitting into a wall-mounted slotted vertical metal strip.
•Brackets also are an element in the systems used to mount modern facade cladding systems onto the
outside of contemporary buildings, as well as interior panels.
