Installing Your Blocks

Choose the appropriate shelf installation method based on where your shelf sits in your layout relative to other Blocks panels.

• If your shelf will sit in between two panels, refer to Installation Method B
• If you shelf will sit above a panel, refer to Installation Method C

1. Add shelf cover mounting tape to the back of your shelf cover. Remove the protective liner from the tape and mount the shelf cover directly underneath the light panel you will be installing your shelf below. Ensure that there are no gaps in between.
2. Pull off the panel gently, leaving the mounting plate and shelf cover attached to the wall.
3. Slide the short prongs of the shelf into the shelf cover.
4. Use a pencil to mark the two top holes in the shelf - this is where the anchors will go.
5. Slide the shelf out from the shelf cover.
6. Drill holes into the marked areas on the wall.
7. Screw anchors into the drilled holes. For concrete walls, use concrete anchors. For drywall, use drywall anchors.
8. Place the shelf back into the shelf cover
9. Drive the screws into the anchors, securing the shelf in place. Ensure that the screws are driven in all the way so they do not interfere with your layout.
10. Reattach the light panel back onto its mounting plate.
