Not ready to throw in the towel, he took matters into his own hands. “So that’s when I invented and patented the Hovr floating shelf system,” he recalls. The Hovr system uses a female bracket that fits on the back of the shelf and a male bracket that attaches to the wall. The two brackets interlock with a set screw to form “unparalleled strength,” as described by Hovr. The advantages over the current two-pronged industry standard aremany. The obvious benefits are the superior load capacity (300 pounds, compared to 50-to-100) and the fact that it can withstand daily use without sagging or slanting over time. The list goes on, however. For example, unlike traditional alternatives, the Hovr system has been analyzed and approved by third party engineers, it’s removable from the wall, and it doesn’t require special tools to install. The Hovr system can also be more economical. Aluminum isn’t exactly cheap, but with the Hovr system, depending on installation factors, customers can use as low as 1:2 ratio of bracket-to-shelf length – so they are getting a lot of shelf for their money. An 18-inch bracket that hits two studs in the right conditions, for example, can make a 36-inch-long shelf. Aside from the obvious superiority of the product, the Hovr system also stands apart because of the responsive customer service that Hovr Strong Solutions offers.
