What about allowing my granite to overhang the edge of my island for more seating options? When is additional support or bracing needed?

An example of countertop overhang courtesy Arch City Granite and MarbleGranite countertops can often be extended beyond the cabinets to give added functionality to kitchen spaces. At Arch City Granite this is a question we are asked every day. The standard overhang is 1 ½" from the face frame of the cabinets. This gives a good visual appearance because it creates a ¾" overhang from the door fronts. You can compare this to the 1" overhang typical of the laminate countertops you are looking to replace with granite.

The actual overhang may slightly vary depending on how straight the countertops are installed. Having the cabinets not installed in a straight line is not an uncommon problem. The Arch City Granite measuring person discusses these issues with the homeowners to come to a clear understanding of what variances can be expected.

For example, your fabricator can extend the 3 cm granite countertops up to a maximum of 8" from the cabinets unsupported. We can be a little more liberal and extend them 10" with strong granite verities like Tan Brown, Coffee Brown, Black Pearl, and other stronger stones.

We have to be careful when we install upper bar tops that sit on a 5" knee wall. These overhangs have to be supported by steel braces placed under the countertop and then screwed into the wooden studs in the knee wall. Any granite countertops with more than an 8" overhang should be adequately supported by steel braces.

Extended islands, higher-level bar tops, and peninsulas are some of the areas of the kitchen that may have an extended overhang, up to 12". The placement of wood or metal supports that extend from the cabinets, sometimes called corbels, can hit your knees and are not visually appealing.

The ideal solution is to place steel bars, secure adequately, and is permanent support that is almost invisible and does not hit your knees!
