Federal Brace Introduces the Portland Gusseted Bracket

federal-brace-portlandFederal Brace announced a new addition to its Designer Support Line. The Portland Gusseted Countertop Support Bracket, a unique bracket with marine inspirations, is a perfect fit in modern, transitional, or eclectic kitchens. With a circular cut-out, not unlike a boat’s porthole, this bracket is go-to for beach houses, yachts, luxury houseboats, and much more. Whether for use on a wall-hung counter, such as a receptionist desk, serving counter, or other commercial location, or an island overhang to create an entertainment or breakfast bar, the Portland provides complete support and strength, keeping your cabinets safe and your countertops, theoretically, afloat.

The strong central gusset with the decorative cut-out provides additional support between the flanges. Made of ¼ in. thick, high-quality steel, the Portland has an ample carry capacity of more than 500 pounds per individual bracket. The Portland Designer Countertop Bracket is available in 3 sizes for varying overhang lengths and two finishes. The 10-, 12-, and 16- in. brackets, which are suggested for overhangs of up to 14-, 16-, and 20- in. respectively, come in a sleek stainless steel, to match modern appliances, and a raw steel that can be painted or glazed to match any desired color or any existing décor.
