Perrine Counter Mounted Bar Support For Elevated Bars

Perrine Counter Mounted bar support is a Federal Brace workstation and countertop bracket designed to mount directly to the top of a sub-counter or surface, so you can build an elevated serving or reception bar from the structure you already have. The stainless steel finish gives the 2 x 10 inch support a clean, professional look that suits visible bar faces and open counter runs where hardware remains exposed. A teardrop foot plate bolts directly to the sub-counter or other surface, creating a solid base where loads transfer straight down into the structure beneath. From that base, a stylish gusset connects to the top plate and stiffens the support, which helps the bracket handle higher loads without excessive flex. The top plate is set up for a 6 inch elevated bar, so you can raise the serving surface while keeping a low, compact support profile at the mounting point.

Key Perrine Bar Support Details That Matter

• The 10 inch upper plate is designed to support an elevated counter up to 18 inches deep, giving you room for a usable bar or reception ledge while keeping the support footprint narrow on the sub-counter.
• A single 0.5 inch countersunk hole in the foot plate concentrates the bolting point, so the fastener seats flush while the bracket bears down firmly on the mounting surface.
• The 0.25 inch material thickness provides a substantial section of metal, which helps the support carry higher loads in normal bar or countertop use without feeling light-duty.
• A rated carry capacity of 500 pounds allows the bracket to support heavy stone or glass counters, giving flexibility for dense surfacing materials in bar and workstation layouts.
• Availability in stainless and black finishes allows this Perrine support to match different design schemes, whether the bracket is fully exposed or only partially visible beneath an elevated top.

Installation Setup For Perrine Counter Bar Support

The Perrine Counter Mounted bar support uses a teardrop foot plate that bolts directly to the top of your sub-counter or other mounting surface, so the load path stays tight to the cabinet or support wall. The installation is described as a special install, because granite or other stone materials need to be prefabricated, and wood counters need to be predrilled, with holes that fit a 1/4 inch diameter flat head bolt. This prefabrication allows the flat head bolt to pull the foot plate down evenly against the mounting surface, which promotes solid contact and reduces movement under a loaded counter. Fasteners are not provided with the support, so the installer selects appropriate 1/4 inch diameter flat head bolts based on the specific sub-counter construction and project details.

Using This Countertop Bracket In Real Projects

Where The Perrine Bar Support Is Typically Used

The Perrine bar support is part of the Workstation and Countertop Brackets class, so it is suited to elevated bar, serving, or reception applications where a higher counter floats above a lower work surface. The 6 inch elevated bar configuration allows the raised top to sit clearly above the working counter, giving room for serving edges while preserving the lower surface for preparation. With a 10 inch upper plate designed for up to an 18 inch deep elevated counter, one bracket can reach significantly into the bar overhang, which means fewer supports may be needed along a straight run when loads are properly distributed. The 500 pound carry capacity positions this bracket for heavy stone or glass counter materials, so dense tops can be used for hospitality, office reception, or residential bar areas without changing the basic support hardware. Stainless steel and black finish options align the same functional design to different visual environments, from bright commercial spaces to darker bar fronts.

Why The Perrine Design Supports Consistent Results

The teardrop foot plate that bolts directly to the sub-counter or surface gives the Perrine support a defined bearing area, which helps spread the load and reduces point pressure on the substrate. A single 0.5 inch countersunk hole in this plate keeps the fastener head flush, allowing the bracket to sit flat on the mounting surface and improving alignment when the top plate is tied into the elevated counter. The 0.25 inch material thickness works with the gusseted design to resist bending under vertical load, which supports straighter bar tops and lowers the chance of noticeable deflection along the bracket line. With the installation approach requiring prefabricated or predrilled holes sized for a 1/4 inch diameter flat head bolt, the connection between bracket and counter is defined ahead of time, which supports a repeatable workflow from shop to site. The 10 inch upper plate, capable of supporting an 18 inch deep elevated counter, keeps the primary load directly above the support body, promoting a balanced moment arm that is helpful when working with stone or glass materials and reduces stress at the sub-counter interface.
