Before we get into the size of the Angle Brackets you need for your Granite surface and overhang, let us discuss the quality of the Angle or Support Bracket you should invest in.

Not all Angle Brackets are the same. Finding a quality Wrought Iron Angle Bracket for the support of a heavy surface, such as Granite of other stone surfaces is the first thing to search for. Some Iron products are weak and may not hold up the weight of a heavy surface. When you find a heavy duty bracket you will be aware of the thickness of the iron and the substantial weight it can hold. You should be able to tell by looking at the product that it is of quality, strength and craftsmanship. Hand Forged Wrought Iron Angle Brackets are also a great product for exterior as well as interior use since Iron will hold up very well to the elements outdoors for many years.

Corner Metal Shelves

Usually, Angle Brackets, Corner Braces, Corbel or Support Brackets (whatever name you put on them) will come in standard sizes which are appropriate for a standard shelf size. Standard shelf sizes range from 8", 12", 14" and maybe 16" and 18" deep.

Wrought Iron Brackets are generally sized under the depth of the standard shelf sizes. For instance a 7.5" bracket will hold an 8"plus shelf, etc. You do not want the bracket to protrude out farther than your counter or shelving.

Counter tops are a little different, in that they can range in many sizes, according to your specific needs. Counter tops can range from 18", 22" and 24" deep. There are quality Hand Forged Iron Brackets that can carry this kind of weight. Your designer or contractor will direct you or choose an appropriate Angle Bracket for your need.

When installing Wrought Iron Angle Brackets under the surface of a Granite overhang you can be somewhat flexible on the size you install. Since it is an overhang, the size of bracket can vary in size, in order to achieve a nice profile. The counter is carrying the majority of the weight and that will give you more options on the Iron Bracket size. Your contractor will be able to determine which size will produce a good profile and yet have the appropriate support.

Not only is Hand Forged Wrought Iron an excellent choice for counter top support and shelving support, it also provides for a great architectural element.
