Description
The CounterBalance Concealed Bracket is a 2 inch by 12 inch structural support designed to hold a floating countertop, bar top, or work surface without any visible hardware beneath the overhang. As a CounterBalance 12-inch white bracket, it mounts to load-bearing studs behind the wall finish and stays hidden once the installation is complete, giving cabinetry and stone fabricators a clean underside instead of exposed steel arms.
CounterBalance 12-inch white bracket Load And Reach
Each bracket is designed to support a floating surface extending up to 6 inches beyond the bracket length, which for this 12 inch model means the countertop can overhang well past the wall line while the load path still runs into solid framing. This white finish is one of several color options in the Concealed Bracket family, including black, gray, and almond, so installers can match or contrast the underside finish to the surrounding cabinetry or trim.
Because the bracket disappears once the drywall and countertop are in place, layout accuracy matters more than with a visible support arm. Confirm stud spacing, mark bracket centerlines before drywall goes up, and verify the finished countertop depth against the 6 inch maximum overhang before finalizing the design. Getting this step right avoids opening a finished wall later to add or reposition support.
Installing This CounterBalance 12-inch white bracket
Fasten the bracket to framing with hardware rated for the expected countertop load, keeping brackets level and evenly spaced across the run. Drywall or another finish material typically closes over the installed bracket, so plan electrical, plumbing, and blocking around the bracket location before that finish goes on. For projects where the drywall is already installed, the CounterBalance Hybrid Bracket is the practical alternative since it does not require the same behind-the-wall access.
