Why are flat bar supports needed for countertop overhangs?

Steel flat bar supports are slim, sturdy metal bars used to provide structural support for stone countertop overhangs. These supports are typically installed beneath the countertop and are designed to be discreet and unobtrusive, maintaining the stylish, clean look of modern countertops.

Flat bar supports are necessary for many applications with overhangs including kitchen islands, breakfast bars, vanities, and workstations or desks with extended surfaces.

Support bars evenly distribute the weight of the overhanging section of stone countertops to prevent stress, cracking, or sagging. Flat bars are usually embedded into the top of the cabinet frame or base structure and are flush with the top level of the cabinets to support the overhang invisibly.

See your Countertop Source sales representative to determine the right size and application for steel flat bar supports for your countertop overhangs.
