CounterBalance Floating Shelf Bracket, 6 Inch, White

Description

The CounterBalance floating shelf bracket in the 6 inch size carries the highest load rating in the family at 2000 lbs per pair, mounting directly to wall studs and disappearing inside a boxed shelf so a heavy solid surface shelf reads as floating with no visible hardware underneath.

Why the 6 Inch Floating Shelf Bracket Carries the Most Load

Within this bracket family, load rating drops as bracket length increases, so the shortest bracket in the line carries the most weight per pair. At 6 inches, this floating shelf bracket is the right choice when a shelf run is heavy but does not need to project far from the wall, since a shorter cantilever always outperforms a longer one at the same material thickness.

Fit and Sizing

The bracket measures 1.75 inches tall by 1.5 inches wide by 0.25 inches thick, sized to sit inside a standard boxed shelf without forcing the shelf thicker than the design calls for, and it ships two brackets per box in white.

Installation Requirements

Brackets must land on a stud for full rated strength, since the mounting hardware is sized to fail before the bracket does. Fabricators building the shelf box should confirm stud spacing and blocking before closing up the shelf, because the bracket cannot be repositioned afterward.

Where the Floating Shelf Bracket Fits in the Line

For open, visible installations, the same countertop bracket line includes surface mounted and concealed styles rated for countertops and vanities. For general structural hardware reference, see the Industrial Fasteners Institute.

Ordering and Support

Each box contains a pair of 0.25-inch steel brackets. The six-inch pair weighs about three pounds, and the white finish keeps exposed edges visually quiet during installation.
