Design that stands the test of time

Cantilibra is an intelligently designed shelving system that has been created with care, to function with integrity over a long period of time. Cantilibra™ is a flexible system which allows you to achieve the feel you want and the function you need for your space. It has been recommended by librarians for over 20 years and is installed in over 2000 educational, medical and community libraries worldwide. 

Manufactured in the UK, Cantilibra™ has stood the test of time – yet we continue to develop options to create diverse and attractive aesthetics.

Cantilibra is a chameleon!

 All built with the same steel structure and dressed with cladding and accessories – no Cantilibra system looks the same!
 

You have the versatility to create your own unique space, with the reassurance that it is built to last. Every system comes with a full 10-year warranty.

Cantilibra is a sustainable choice

 Functionality, appearance and longevity are not the only criteria by which a design can be judged successful. Cantilibra shelving is manufactured from steel, the world’s most recyclable material. So, you can choose Cantilibra with confidence and a clear conscience.

Selecting YOUR Cantilibra system is easy as 1, 2, 3…

1.

Select your shelving

 
 
Select a single or double-sided bay from three different heights (1200, 1500, 1800mm).

You can then link these bays to create runs of straight shelving, shapes or zones.

The versatility of the system means you can maximise your space by fitting shelving even to the most awkward spaces.

2.

Select your end panels or

bay end displayers

Define your sections, genres, and aesthetics in your library space by personalising the end panels of your shelving.

Choose your colour or bespoke graphics on our plain end panels. The only limit is your imagination…

3.

Add your accessories 

 

To truly make your system your own, we offer a wide range of useful accessories.

You can use our handy pre-defined ‘kits’ to add alternative shelving into your existing system – changing a flat shelf to a display or vice versa, or add in a new element such as a shelf to display games and DVD’s.
