About the shelf extender
There are two scenarios
Our shelves extend from one outer edge to the other. When two shelves share a shelf ladder, you have two options:
Slightly shift the outer shelf ladders, as shown in scenario 1. Allow both shelves to protrude 1 cm on each side, as in scenario 2.
In both cases, the two shelves rest on the shelf extension and are secured from below. Make sure to always center the shelf extender on the shelf ladder.
Scenario 1:
Shelves with parallel widths, for instance, 158 cm + 80 cm shelves.
When your shelves have consistent widths throughout the shelving system, it will increase the total width by 2 cm, by aligning the outer shelf ladders with the shelves. Keep in mind that this change also affects the available space for cabinets and drawers.
Scenario 2:
Shelf with mixed shelves / different widths on the shelves, for instance, 158 cm + 80 cm shelves.
When using mixed shelves with different widths, it’s important to maintain the 80 cm and 45 cm sections between the shelf ladders. This ensures stability and prevents shorter shelves from not fitting in the shelf sections. Consequently, shelves with the shelf extender will protrude by 1 cm on each side.
