Construction fittings for furniture and interiors
Construction fittings for furniture and interiors
Construction fittings are used when furniture, cabinets, shelves and other interiors need to be assembled, joined or stabilised. The category includes furniture fittings such as connector fittings, cabinet rails, shelf supports and glass shelf supports for various types of structures and fixings.
How to choose the right construction fittings
- Area of use: Base your choice on whether the fitting is to join parts, support a shelf, support glass or stabilise a cabinet.
- Dimensions and material: Check that the fitting’s dimensions suit the structure and that the material is suitable for the furniture or interior.
- Fixing and load: Choose the fixing according to the substrate and take into account the load the fitting must withstand in use.
Connector fittings are used where parts need to be drawn together or assembled in a controlled way. Cabinet rails can help create a stable structure in cabinets and drawer like constructions, while shelf supports and glass shelf supports are chosen according to the shelf material and how it is to be fitted.

The right furniture fittings make assembly more considered and help the structure function as intended. When comparing construction fittings, it is important to look at the placement and visibility of the details, and how they work together with the other parts of the furniture.
For shelves, you need to distinguish between shelf supports for standard shelves and glass shelf supports for glass shelves. Always check dimensions, fixing method and load against your area of use before choosing fittings.
