CounterBalance Float Frame Island Bracket, 12 In

Description

The float frame island bracket supports a kitchen island or peninsula countertop from below without a visible leg, post, or corbel underneath. It anchors to the cabinet frame or a mounting ledger and carries granite, marble, quartz, or cement overhangs on a single steel arm, keeping the underside of the island open for seating or storage.

Where the Float Frame Island Bracket Is Used

Kitchen islands and peninsulas with a seating overhang are the most common application, since the bracket removes the need for a leg or post under the overhang. It also works on wet bars, reception counters, and other built-in counters where the design calls for an open, unsupported look on the customer-facing side. Fabricators typically install it during rough-in, before the stone or solid-surface top goes on, so the bracket sits flush against the cabinet carcass.

How the Float Frame Island Bracket Holds Up

Built from steel and finished in black, the bracket is rated for granite, marble, and cement countertop materials, and no downward support is needed once it is anchored, so the finished install carries the load entirely from the cabinet side. This 12 inch length is the shortest in the CounterBalance Float Frame Island Bracket run, which also comes in 18 inch and 24 inch versions for longer overhangs. Installers should still follow standard stud-spacing and fastener guidance for the specific countertop material and overhang length, since heavier stone slabs place more load on each anchor point than a laminate or solid-surface top of the same size.

Specifications

This 12 inch length is available alongside 18 inch and 24 inch versions in the countertop bracket category, and the Industrial Fasteners Institute’s reference on structural anchoring hardware covers general guidance on load-bearing mounting hardware.
