16" x 3/8" Liberty Hidden Countertop Support Plate, Gloss Black Finish

Liberty Hidden Countertop Plate For Floating Counters

Liberty Hidden Countertop Plate is a flat plate shaped bracket designed to hold countertop overhangs mounted to a knee wall, so you can create a clean floating counter appearance across bar tops and workstations. This 16 inch x 3/8 inch plate size provides substantial bearing surface under the stone, helping distribute load across the knee wall. Each hidden countertop support can hold up to 375 pounds when installed per the installation guidelines, giving the strength needed for thick granite, quartz, marble, other natural stones, and concrete countertops. The plate is routed into the top of the knee wall for a flush mount, keeping the support concealed while leaving plenty of chair and leg room below. Finished in gloss black, it blends into darker substrates and visually disappears beneath the countertop.

Key Liberty Hidden Countertop Plate Advantages

• The flat plate shaped bracket design supports countertop overhangs on a knee wall, turning short walls into functional counter seating and work surfaces without visible supports.
• Routing the plate into the top of the knee wall allows a flush mount hidden bracket, keeping the support out of the way and preserving chair and leg room beneath the overhang.
• Each hidden countertop support holding up to 375 pounds when installed per guidelines provides capacity for heavy granite, quartz, marble, other natural stones, and concrete, supporting demanding residential or commercial tops.
• The 16 inch length with an additional 4 inch length to account for mounting into the stud extends past the wall face for overhang support while also anchoring solidly into the knee wall framing.
• The gloss black finish offers a dark, uniform surface that visually recedes under the countertop, supporting a clean floating counter look in finished spaces.

Installation Use On Knee Walls And Overhangs

The Liberty Hidden Countertop Plate is designed specifically to mount to a knee wall, so the installer routes out the top of the wall and sets the plate for a flush mount that disappears under the countertop. The additional 4 inch length beyond the selected size provides material for anchoring into the stud, giving the bracket a solid connection to the knee wall structure. When positioned under granite, quartz, marble, other natural stones, or concrete countertops, the 375 pound capacity per hidden countertop support allows multiple plates to share the overhang load along the wall. The flat plate profile means the bracket sits within the wall top instead of projecting into the seating area, supporting leg clearance and straightforward bar layout.
