The CounterPlate Plus – Another Intuitive Tool for Convenient Countertop Support

 by ipdesign

Reading Time: 3 minutes

CounterBalance is known for its innovative countertop support brackets and accessories, supporting kitchen islands, overhangs, and peninsulas without the need for clumsy corbels, and without compromising strength and durability. The “support that you don’t see” is ever-important, especially in high traffic areas of the home (like your kitchen) where strength and appearance matter equally. This balance between beauty and brawn is why the CounterBalance line of products has become so popular with stone fabricators, contractors, and homeowners. In addition to several kits and specialty brackets, the experts at CounterBalance have cornered the countertop market, featuring each of the below tools for easy, cost-effective kitchen island and breakfast bar support.

And more…

The new CounterPlate Plus, an offshoot of the trusted CounterPlate product, offers a useful twist to an already trusted product. Much like its counterparts, the CounterPlate Plus is a low profile, modern looking black, powder coated steel bracket that’s virtually invisible from sight once installed. This “L” shaped version of the CounterPlate has the ability to tie in to vertical wall studs for maximum strength and stability.

The CounterPlate Plus can safely support up to an 18” overhang, and should be spaced no more than 16” to 20” apart for the best results. The “Plus” is ideal for use with half walls or pony walls, bracing overhangs on breakfast bar style countertops.

We have all “bases” covered

Vanities

We have vanity projects covered with the help of our CounterBalance ADA Vanity Brackets. These brackets can accommodate 22” to 26” deep sinks and are designed with a 3”X3” corner cut-out that will shelter most wall cleats and can account for wire run clearance. The 12 gauge steel bracket design is available in black, white, stainless steel, and primed.

Work Stations

Sturdy yet easy-to-install brackets for benches or shelves in your shop/garage are covered as well with our Workstation Brackets, from none other than CounterBalance. Other uses for our workstation brackets include computer stations, ADA stations, and literally any other “floating” work area imaginable. These brackets are fashioned to attach to load bearing studs and come in nine convenient sizes and seven colors/finishes.
