The opposing arcs which make up the decorative center support on our Eclipse Iron Corbel intersects in the middle before finishing with a soft transitional split. This arching design gives you extra room under the counter. Our 3-inch Eclipse Corbels is used to support granite and stone counter tops, fireplace mantels, kitchen island overhangs, bar tops and much more. There are six 3/8" thick center designs welded together giving this bracket its strength and dimension. The L-Bracket is made from thick 1/4-inch steel with holes for mounting the bracket to any surface. 2 holes are included in the top part of this bracket, their use is optional if the application needs them (shelving, mantels, wood overhangs, etc...) Specifications Dimensions: L-bracket is 1/4-inch thick by 3" wide with a 2-1/4" Thick center support. Bracket Sizes: 5 x 7 | 6 x 8 | 7 x 9 | 8 x 10 | 9 x 11 | 10 x 12 Material: Iron Iron Finish Options: 4 Finishes Available Pictured: Eclipse Iron Corbel with Aged Bronze Finish Indoor | Outdoor Use: Brackets are powder-coated, (unless you select unfinished)so they will last a substantial amount of time outdoors, but like all steel products, sooner or later they will show signs of rust in areas that hold water. This is not to say that you cannot use them outdoors. Consider steel patio furniture, they're in the sun, rain, snow etc... for years before showing any signs of rust. Keep in mind, if you install our products underneath a counter or roof overhang outdoors, our products should last for many years without concern. Additional Info.

When you buy from us you get the original design and American Craftsmanship.) Determine What Size & Quantity to Order? 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.
