The CounterBalance Islandbar Mini – “Completely practical, virtually invisible.”
The new Islandbar Mini countertop support bracket from CounterBalance is an improvement upon an already revolutionary set of products from the leaders in making kitchen island installation simple and convenient. CounterBalance, a creation of Chemical Concepts, has delivered an even sleeker option, compared to its Islandbar (24”), in supporting countertops without the hassle and danger of old-fashioned corbels. If practicality isn’t enough, contractors and homeowners should consider the fact that the Islandbar Mini is all but invisible, furthering its ability to transform your kitchen and point the focus of the room onto your countertop, not its supports.
The Islandbar Mini is a 1.75” X 20” countertop support bracket designed to attach to the left or right of a cabinet wall, supporting overhangs on islands and peninsulas above cabinetry. The sturdy, seven gauge (.179) steel design combines strength and practicality like no other product on the market.
Quick Facts
- Supports up to an 18” overhang on countertops – the countertop can extend 6” beyond the support
- Low profile design promotes a clean, floating look on kitchen countertops
- Hot rolled, seven gauge, black powder coated steel makeup offers strength and durability – tested up to 500 lbs
Advantages
- Less noticeable than regular Islandbar
- Lighter and less bulky
- Supports up to an 8-16” overhang on cabinetry
- At 20” inches long, has a much sleeker profile than its 24” counterpart
- Smaller and easier for installation process

The Islandbar and Islandbar Mini aren’t alone when it comes to innovative countertop support. CounterBalance offers several other products that eliminate the hassle and unsightly appearance of traditional supports.
The CounterBalance Crossbar (24”) and Crossbar Mini (18”), like the full and miniature versions of the Islandbar, offer two sizes, both specializing in the support of overhangs in two directions. The full size Crossbar can support up to an 18” overhang in two directions, while the mini can support 15”. Both the Crossbar and Crossbar Mini are perfect for kitchen islands and peninsulas that happen to extend in two directions, a common characteristic with modern day kitchen accessories.
CounterBalance offers several other products, three of which are linked below, that more than adequately address the trouble of bulky corbels or similar supports while maintaining strength and durability.
