Description
The CounterBalance concealed bracket is a structural countertop support that mounts to load-bearing wall studs before drywall or wall finish closes the framing. This Almond version uses the 2-inch profile and a 12-inch horizontal support arm to carry a floating countertop, serving ledge, or bar top without a visible knee brace beneath the finished surface.
Where the CounterBalance Concealed Bracket Fits
Use this bracket when the design calls for a wall-supported overhang and the framing is still accessible. The vertical leg attaches to sound structural framing while the horizontal arm supports the countertop above it. CounterBalance guidance for this family states that the supported surface may extend about 6 inches beyond the bracket length, subject to the current load-limit documentation, countertop material, bracket spacing, fasteners, and project conditions.
Plan bracket locations before the wall is closed. Coordinate the layout with cabinet runs, countertop seams, appliances, plumbing, electrical work, and sink cutouts so the support can be anchored where the framing is capable of carrying the intended load. Do not rely on drywall, trim, or nonstructural blocking as the primary attachment.
Installing the CounterBalance Concealed Bracket
Set the bracket level against the load-bearing stud or approved structural framing and use fasteners sized for the current installation guidance. Keep the horizontal arms aligned so the countertop bears evenly across the support points. Bracket quantity and spacing should come from the current CounterBalance load-limit information for the actual span and material rather than countertop depth alone.
If the wall finish is already installed and direct stud access is not available, compare the appropriate CounterBalance Hybrid Bracket instead of substituting this concealed model without checking the installation requirements.
