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 reinforces only the unsupported span that needs help. This support is intended to create an ultimate floating counter appearance by mounting to your base cabinet, which keeps visual lines clean while still backing up the overhang structurally. Each hidden countertop support can hold up to 375 pounds when installed per the installation guidelines, giving you capacity for substantial overhang loads in typical kitchen or work surface layouts. This bracket is best used in an island setting when additional support is available, so it integrates into a broader support layout rather than carrying the full counter alone.

Key Freedom Hidden Countertop Bracket Advantages

• The L shaped design is intended to hold countertop overhangs where two-thirds of the weight is already on a cabinet base, so it works with the cabinet structure instead of competing with it.
• The bracket is designed to mount directly to your base cabinet, which ties the overhang support into the cabinet framing for a solid, repeatable installation point.
• Each hidden countertop support can hold up to 375 pounds when installed per the installation guidelines, which supports thick countertop materials in typical overhang depths without overspecifying heavier structural steel.
• This design is best used in an island setting when additional support is available, so it fits neatly into multi-point support schemes using cabinets, walls, or other structural elements.
• The bracket is flush mounted as a hidden support, which preserves leg and chair room underneath the overhang and avoids interference with seating zones.
• The bracket line is available in several different sizes from 8 inches up to 20 inches, so span length can be matched to the planned overhang depth for more efficient support placement.

Installation And Mounting Workflow Details

The Freedom Hidden Countertop Bracket can be mounted before or after your countertop goes on, which lets you fit it either during cabinet setting or during counter installation depending on scheduling. When mounted before the countertop, the bracket can be installed into the base cabinet structure, so it becomes almost completely hidden while still carrying the designed overhang load. The bracket mounts to your base cabinet, giving installers a defined structural location for fastening and layout against cabinet framing. This approach supports consistent bracket alignment across multiple supports along an island run.

Using This Workstation And Countertop Bracket

Where This Hidden Countertop Support Works Best

This bracket is classified as a workstation and countertop bracket, so it is intended for supporting horizontal work or counter surfaces rather than light shelving alone. It is best used in an island setting when additional support is available, which suits large kitchen islands or work tables where cabinets or other structures already carry most of the weight. The design is intended to hold countertop overhangs where two-thirds of the weight rests on a cabinet base, focusing support on the cantilevered portion or seating overhang. This makes it well suited for granite, quartz, marble, other natural stones, and concrete countertops, since these materials are both heavy and often used with extended seating edges. The bracket is flush mounted as a hidden support, so it keeps the underside of the counter open around knees and feet while still reinforcing the overhang. The 20 inch size belongs to a range that starts at 8 inches and goes up to 20 inches, aligning with longer overhang runs where a deeper reach is required.

Why Federal Brace Details Support Reliable Overhangs

The Freedom Hidden Countertop Bracket by Federal Brace is an L shaped design, which provides both vertical support under the overhang and horizontal engagement along the cabinet, forming a stable right-angle structure. Each support is rated to hold up to 375 pounds when installed per the installation guidelines, so spacing can be planned around known point capacities when laying out multiple brackets along a counter. The bracket allows you to safely mount thick granite, quartz, marble, other natural stones, and concrete countertops, so the support capacity aligns with the weight of common high-density surfaces. Flush mounting as a hidden bracket leaves plenty of chair and leg room, which is especially important at island seating where guests sit close to the cabinet face. The design can be mounted before or after the countertop goes on, providing installation flexibility when jobsite sequencing changes or when counters are replaced on existing cabinets. When mounted before a countertop and installed into the base structure, the bracket becomes almost completely hidden, which supports a clean floating-counter look while still tying the load back into the cabinet system.
