OVERHANG SUPPORT

To help determine if a countertop overhang requires additional support, please reference the chart below. Two-thirds (2/3) of the countertop need to be supported. For example: 15” raised bar need 10” of supported area. Metal support bars are only available in black, and are not compatible with European Style cabinets, also known as full-overlay. Please check with your local fabricator for any specific questions about your customer’s project.
