CounterBalance Stainless Steel CounterPlate, 9.75 x 3.75 in

Description

CounterBalance stainless CounterPlate is a low-profile support plate for stone and solid-surface overhangs built over a framed knee wall or half wall. The 304 stainless steel construction suits installations where a clean metal finish and easy maintenance matter, while the flat profile stays hidden beneath the countertop for an open, corbel-free appearance.

Where This CounterPlate Is Used

Fabricators and installers use this plate below raised bars, breakfast counters, reception ledges, and other overhangs supported by 2 x 4 wall framing. The plate mounts across the top of the wall and extends beneath the countertop, spreading the load without putting a visible diagonal brace in the seating area. Its stainless finish also makes it a practical choice for laboratories, clinics, food-service work areas, and other settings where a painted bracket is not preferred.

Installation and Layout

The 9.75-inch plate is intended for overhangs up to 13 inches when the countertop and framing meet the published installation conditions. The countertop may extend up to 6 inches beyond the support. CounterBalance recommends spacing supports 16 to 20 inches apart and offers a router guide for recessing the plate when a flush mounting surface is required. Final spacing and substrate suitability should be checked against the project design and countertop material.
