CounterBalance Workstation Bracket, 24×24 in, Gray

Description

The CounterBalance Workstation Bracket is a concealed structural support for hanging a floating work surface with no visible leg, corbel, or knee wall underneath. This 24 in by 24 in gray bracket bolts behind the wall into load-bearing studs and carries the countertop, workbench, or storage surface from a single mounting point, so the finished install shows clean drywall on the front side and nothing else. Fabricators and remodelers reach for it specifically when the design calls for a floating look that a visible support would ruin.

Where the CounterBalance Workstation Bracket Is Used

Kitchen islands, bathroom vanities, ADA-height counters, computer stations, and garage storage benches all call for this style of hidden support. Installers turn to it whenever a visible corbel, leg, or knee wall would get in the way of the design, from a bar-top overhang in a finished basement to a floating shelf run in a workshop. Because the bracket mounts flush to the wall framing, it works equally well behind finished drywall on a remodel or during new construction before the wall is closed up, which is why it shows up across both renovation and new-build projects. Rockhead network members and countertop fabrication shops standardize on this bracket family for exactly that flexibility.

How the CounterBalance Workstation Bracket Holds Up

Each bracket is rated to support a countertop or work surface overhang extending up to 6 in beyond the bracket’s own length, matching the published guidance for the full CounterBalance bracket line. At 24 in by 24 in, this size is built for wide islands and heavier engineered stone, quartz, or butcher block tops where a shorter bracket would flex under load. Weight comes in at 8 lb per bracket, and the gray finish blends into most cabinetry and framing so it reads as invisible once the surface is set and the cabinet toe-kick or apron is in place. Because the load path runs straight from the surface into the stud, proper stud location matters more for this bracket than for a leg-based support, so confirm framing placement before cutting into a finished wall.

CounterBalance offers this bracket in a range of sizes and colors to match different span requirements and finish needs, so measure the intended overhang first and pick the closest rated size rather than pushing a smaller bracket past its limit. A run of several brackets spaced evenly along a long island counter distributes the load better than a single oversized unit at each end. Browse the full countertop bracket line for shorter runs or heavier-duty configurations.
