Floating Countertop Wall Bracket

Our Floating Countertop Wall Bracket is the perfect hidden support for creating Floating Wall Countertops, Floating Bars, Floating Wall Desks, Floating Wall Bench Seats, Floating Wall Shelves, Floating Vanities and Floating Mantels. Bracket is mounted inside the wall and secured to framing/ studs before finishing the wall with drywall or other wall board. Bracket must be mounted to framing that runs floor to ceiling. Half walls must be secured beneath the sub floor, ideally tied into the floor joist or anchored into concrete. Use these brackets to support every type of material from floating granite countertops, stone vanities, hardwood desks, glass shelves, and much more. When mounting to steel studs you must reinforce the steel studs with wood to ensure adequate structural support (see Installation Guide PDF for details)

Size & Quantity Guide

What Size Bracket Should I Use?

• NOTE: Ideally you want no more than 3" of unsupported countertop extending past the end of your bracket.
• To find the bracket size you need take the depth of your countertop, bar, shelf etc... (in this example we will say its 18" deep). Then subtract 3" from that 18" depth (3" is the amount of countertop that will extend past the bracket).
• This is what the math for that looks like: 18"- 3" = 15".
• Results: You would want to order a 15.5" bracket for this 18" deep countertop.
• Pro Tip: "As a contractor we like to run these brackets as close to the edge of the bench or countertop we are supporting. Doing this adds that extra bit of security knowing this thing isn't going anywhere." 

How Many Brackets Should I Order?

• When using this floating bracket for shelves or mantels with a load less than 100lbs you can space these brackets on every other wall stud.
• When using this floating bracket for Bars, Countertops, Benches, Cabinets, or Vanities you will want to use (1) bracket on every wall stud which would be (1) bracket every 16" or 24" depending on the framing method used.

How to install the bracket?

1. Measure and mark the appropriate mounting locations on your wall.
2. Remove Sheet Rock in the area where the bracket will be mounted.
1. Pro Tip: Use a chalk line or laser level to mark a straight line. Then attach a 2x4 along the line giving you a template and “shelf” to use while mounting the brackets, keeping them perfectly level with each other.
3. Securely mount the bracket to the side of the stud.
4. Once the bracket is fastened patch the wall.
5. Prior to setting the top in place, run a bead of high-quality silicone adhesive down the center of each bracket.
1. Pro Tip: For a wood countertop application you have the option to secure that to the bracket with screws and skip the glue. For this you would have to drill holes in the bracket and secure your wood shelf, desk, counter etc… with screws using the holes you drilled.
