Freedom Hidden Countertop Bracket For Floating Counters

Freedom Hidden Countertop Bracket is an L shaped bracket designed to hold countertop overhangs where two-thirds of the weight is already supported by a cabinet base, so it supports extended tops without dominating cabinet structure. This 8 x 8 hidden countertop bracket mounts directly to your base cabinet, which creates the ultimate floating counter appearance while the support stays out of sight. Each hidden countertop support can hold up to 375 pounds when installed per installation guidelines, so it handles thick granite, quartz, marble, other natural stones and concrete tops in typical kitchen or workstation layouts. The flush mounted hidden brackets allow for plenty of chair and leg room, so seating and movement stay comfortable in tight areas. Flat black, flat white, and untreated raw steel finishes let you match visible hardware or prepare a paint-ready surface. This 8 inch model sits within a size range that starts at 8 inches and goes up to 20 inches.

Key Hidden Countertop Bracket Details For Pros

• The bracket is L shaped, so one leg supports the overhang while the other fastens to the cabinet base, giving a straightforward geometry that installers can quickly visualize during layout.
• The design is intended for countertop overhangs where two-thirds of the weight rests on a cabinet base, so the bracket works as supplemental support rather than primary structure, which simplifies structural planning.
• Each hidden countertop support can hold up to 375 pounds when installed per installation guidelines, so a single bracket offers substantial load capacity for stone and concrete overhangs in typical residential or light commercial use.
• The support is finished in flat black, flat white, and untreated raw steel ready for painting, so installers can match surrounding hardware or prepare the raw steel to blend with a custom color scheme.
• Flush mounted hidden brackets allow generous chair and leg room beneath the countertop, so seating areas at islands and workstations stay comfortable without exposed knee-knocking supports.
• The bracket line is best used in an island setting when additional support is available, so it fits naturally into island layouts where cabinets already carry the primary load and brackets handle projection.
• Brackets are offered in several sizes starting from 8 inches and going up to 20 inches, so this 8 inch version fits shorter overhangs while matching other lengths from the same series in one installation.

Hidden Bracket Mounting And Countertop Fit Details

The Freedom Hidden Countertop Bracket is designed to mount directly to your base cabinet, so the support integrates with existing casework rather than adding separate frames. The bracket can be mounted before or after the countertop goes on, so installers can either bury the bracket in the base structure during cabinet assembly or fasten it once cabinets are already set and tops are ready. When mounted before the countertop, the bracket can be installed into the base structure for an almost completely hidden application, so only the counter surface is visible and the steel stays concealed in everyday use. Because the bracket is intended for overhangs where two-thirds of the countertop weight is already on the cabinet base, it serves as a reinforcing element for the outer span instead of a replacement for the cabinet footprint.

How This Workstation And Countertop Bracket Performs

Where This Hidden Bracket Works Best

The Freedom Hidden Countertop Bracket is part of a workstation and countertop brackets product class, so it is purpose-built for supporting counters and work surfaces rather than light shelving. It is best used in an island setting when additional support is available, so cabinet bases or other structural elements carry most of the load while the bracket manages the cantilever. The design allows the bracket to hold countertop overhangs where two-thirds of the weight is already supported by a cabinet base, so it is well suited to peninsulas and islands with moderate projections. Each hidden countertop support can hold up to 375 pounds when installed per installation guidelines, so multiple brackets can be spaced to handle heavy granite, quartz, marble, other natural stones and concrete in a continuous counter run. The flush mounted hidden brackets allow for plenty of chair and leg room, so bar seating and workstation access remain open without exposed diagonal braces.

Why These Countertop Details Matter On The Job

The L shaped design of the Freedom Hidden Countertop Bracket gives a simple, right-angle support that installers can align with cabinet framing, so layout and fastening stay predictable across a row of brackets. Because the bracket can be mounted before or after your countertop goes on, crews can adapt to different project schedules, either pre-building support into the base or setting brackets during templating and installation. Installing the bracket into the base structure before the countertop creates an almost completely hidden application, so finished spaces show a clean floating counter effect that clients expect from stone overhangs without corbels. The ability to safely mount thick granite, quartz, marble, other natural stones and concrete countertops means one bracket series can cover common premium surfaces in kitchens and workstations, reducing product variation on site. Using flush mounted hidden brackets to keep support up inside the cabinet line also preserves knee clearance, so high-use areas such as islands stay comfortable during long working or seating sessions.
