Torches Iron Corbel 2-Inch Wide

The Torches Corbel is a decorative and functional bracket built to support your granite and other natural stone countertop overhangs. Your center gussets, or supports, between the L-Bracket are made from solid hand-forged iron rods that taper from top to bottom giving the bracket even more interesting dimensions. This iron corbel measures 2-inches wide and is available in the following bracket sizes 5 x 7; 6 x 8; 7 x 9; 8 x 10; 9 x 11 & 10 x 12. The L-bracket is made of 1/4-inch thick material and bent at 90-degrees. Common uses for our Torches Corbels include granite & stone counter top supports, shelving brackets, fireplace mantel support and much more. You can choose from 4 finish options including Black; Aged Bronze; Aged Pewter; or Clear Coat (over raw metal). Want to paint this corbel yourself? Choose "Raw Material" in the finish options drop-down and your corbels will arrive ready for you to paint (you will want to clean them of skin oils, dust & dirt before applying your own finish).

This information is provided by The Marble Institute of Americas published requirements for granite countertops. What size corbel do I order? Your Countertop overhang should not extend past the corbel by more than 4 to 6 inches. Example: If your countertop overhang is 10-inches you will want a bracket that measures at least 5 to 6 inches deep. All our corbel measurements are listed as depth x height | Example: a 6" x 8" corbel is 6 inches deep and 8 inches high. Notes From a Designer: Corbels are meant to be seen. So they generally look best when they are 2/3 as deep as the countertop overhang itself. As an example, when we design countertop overhangs we will keep the end of the corbel 2-4" from the end of the countertop overhang. This does exceed the Marble Institutes requirements but it looks much better from a design perspective. How many corbels do I order? Corbels are generally spaced 24 to 36 inches apart under countertop overhangs. To figure out how many corbels you need lets start with 2 corbels at each end of the countertop set 4" to 6" inches in, from the edge. Now measure the span left between the 2 end corbels and use the following formula: (span left) divided by (desired spacing). Example; an 84" wide countertop with 2 brackets set 4 inches from the end would leave you with 76 inches left to support; (84" - 8" = 76"). Now take 76" divided/by 24" = 3.1, so you would need 3 more corbels for a total of 5 brackets. For a countertop overhang spanning 84" wide with 2 corbels set in 4" from either side, and a 24 inch span between corbels, you would order 5 brackets total. 2 ends brackets and 3 to support the remaining 76" span. For a countertop overhang spanning 84" wide with 2 corbels set in 4" from either side, and a 36 inch span between corbels, you would order 4 brackets total. 2 ends brackets and 2 to support the remaining 76" span.
