Why are screws or fastening fittings not included when purchasing products to be fixed to the wall?
Different wall materials require different types of screws and fittings for the product to be installed safely. We therefore do not send screws for wall mounting, as the need varies depending on the type of wall you have. This way, you can choose the brackets that are best suited for your particular home and at the same time avoid unnecessary spillage.
In order for your product to sit securely and stably on the wall, it is important to use the right type of screws and fittings. The needs differ depending on whether you have plaster, concrete, wood or any other wall material. Since every home is unique, we therefore do not ship wall screws.
In this way, you can easily choose the brackets that suit your walls and thus get a safe and durable installation. It also means that we avoid unnecessary waste and can offer a smarter, more sustainable solution for you as a customer.
At IKEA, we have a product series, TRIXIG, that can help you when, for example, you need to anchor to the wall.
