Description
The 18 inch concealed countertop bracket is a white, 1 inch CounterBalance support for floating countertops, islands, bar tops, and work surfaces. It mounts to load-bearing wall studs behind drywall so the horizontal arm supports the surface without visible legs or corbels. The low-profile format helps preserve knee room and a clean finished sightline.
18 inch concealed countertop bracket: Fit and Applications
This bracket transfers overhang loads into load-bearing wall studs. Use it for countertop overhangs, bar seating, islands, and floating work surfaces, then confirm framing, surface thickness, seams, cutouts, and field loads before selecting bracket quantity and spacing.
The Concealed Bracket mounts at the wall structure so the arm remains hidden after the surface is installed. CounterBalance guidance allows an overhang to extend up to 6 inches beyond the bracket length when the complete layout follows the applicable load and spacing guidance. Supports are commonly planned on 16 to 20 inch centers. Project loads, substrate thickness, seams, cutouts, and field conditions still determine final quantity and spacing.
Installation and Finish Checks
Confirm stud locations before ordering. Fasten into load-bearing wood framing or provide suitable backing for metal studs. Keep the bracket level with adjacent supports so the countertop bears evenly across the run. The white powder-coated finish suits light cabinetry and trim, while the concealed placement keeps the hardware out of the finished sightline. The family is offered in several arm lengths and finishes, making it practical to coordinate supports across counters with changing depths.
