Stout Iron Corbel 3-Inch Wide

The 3-inch wide Stout Iron Corbel gets its name from the simple but stout center support. We arched the support back slightly improving leg/knee room while still providing substantial support for your granite countertop overhangs.

Its design is elegantly simple allowing it to work in a wide variety of home styles.

People use our Stout corbels to support granite and stone counter top overhangs, fireplace mantels, kitchen island overhangs, bar tops and much more.

There are six 3/8" thick center designs welded together in this 3-inch wide. Giving this bracket its strength and dimension.

The L-Bracket is made from 1/4-inch thick steel and features 3 - 1/4 holes in the back plate for mounting the bracket to your surface.

2 holes are included in the top part of this bracket, their use is optional if the application needs them, for example you may want to secure shelving or mantels to your bracket.

Determine What Size & Quantity to Order?

This information is provided by The Marble Institute of Americas published requirements for granite countertops.

What size corbel do I order?

• Your Countertop overhang should not extend past the corbel by more than 4 to 6 inches.
• Example: If your countertop overhang is 10-inches you will want a bracket that measures at least 5 to 6 inches deep.
• All our corbel measurements are listed as depth x height | Example: a 6" x 8" corbel is 6 inches deep and 8 inches high.
• Notes From a Designer: Corbels are meant to be seen. So they generally look best when they are 2/3 as deep as the countertop overhang itself. As an example, when we design countertop overhangs we will keep the end of the corbel 2-4" from the end of the countertop overhang. This does exceed the Marble Institutes requirements but it looks much better from a design perspective.

How many corbels do I order?

• Corbels are generally spaced 24 to 36 inches apart under countertop overhangs.
• To figure out how many corbels you need lets start with 2 corbels at each end of the countertop set 4" to 6" inches in, from the edge.
• Now measure the span left between the 2 end corbels and use the following formula: (span left) divided by (desired spacing).
• Example; an 84" wide countertop with 2 brackets set 4 inches from the end would leave you with 76 inches left to support; (84" - 8" = 76"). Now take 76" divided/by 24" = 3.1, so you would need 3 more corbels for a total of 5 brackets.
• For a countertop overhang spanning 84" wide with 2 corbels set in 4" from either side, and a 24 inch span between corbels, you would order 5 brackets total. 2 ends brackets and 3 to support the remaining 76" span.
• For a countertop overhang spanning 84" wide with 2 corbels set in 4" from either side, and a 36 inch span between corbels, you would order 4 brackets total. 2 ends brackets and 2 to support the remaining 76" span.
