How our CounterBalance product line originated

These products were developed by a couple of granite fabricators with 20 years in the business who thought "there had to be a better way than using corbels to support countertops." 

They wanted something that could not be seen, that was quick to install, and that would not  get in the way of someone sitting at their breakfast bar with their morning cup of coffee and newspaper.   (does anyone still get a daily paper?... maybe from their laptop)

...So after trying several designs, they came up with the Counterbalance™ Plate and Island Bracket.  These products are the easiest, safest and most cost effective approach to support overhangs you can invest in.
