Professional Countertop Support Brackets

Professional Countertop Support Brackets

These Countertop Brackets are heavy duty and precision laser cut from 3” x .25” steel. They are designed for professional installers to support countertop overhangs up to 16”.

Features:
• Manufactured from 3” x .25” steel
• Professionally powder coated for a durable finish
• Six .25" inch beveled holes for flush mounting screws
• All outside edges have a .25" radius

Application:
Installation of the countertop brackets requires a .25” x 3” channel be milled into the knee wall so the bracket sits flush with the top of the stud. If the bracket is to be installed in a cabinet appropriate gussets and blocking will be required. After the channel is milled the bracket should be secured with #12 wood screws (not included) or comparable. As an alternative installation method the brackets may be screwed directly to the knee wall and ¼” blocking added between the brackets. Once installed check to be sure each bracket is level with the knee wall and each other. Shim if necessary. When placing the countertop on the brackets run a small bead of Liquid Nails or a quality silicone adhesive to bond the bracket, countertop and knee wall together. Spacing should be 16" - 18" starting 4 inches in from the outside edge of the knee wall.

Sizing:
When selecting the right size countertop support bracket a 2-4" set back is recommended from the edge of the overhang to keep the support bracket out of view. Use the sizing chart below to determine the correct support bracket for your application.

• 9-11” overhang = 10 inch bracket
• 12-13” overhang = 12 inch bracket
• 14” overhang = 14 inch bracket
• 16” overhang = 16 inch bracket

Spacing:
• 16”-18" spacing between brackets is recommended.
