Federal Brace's Brickyard supports any countertop.

Ok. So we broke all the molds on our latest in elevated supports, The Brickyard Countertop Support. Although southern born and bred, The Brickyard does not take its name from drag, stock or even kart racing (but it would be cool if it did). The south is where bricks are made and we are proud of our brick making! The Brickyard is made of steel and symbolizes the strength of brick - made from cinder, fire and ash. This mighty look surrounds the oval at the Indianapolis 500 and now you have this steel powerhouse for your granite and concrete bar applications. Our bracket will hold up against weather and is a durable and strong carrier of stone or granite.

When you hold this bracket in your hand you know you’re holding something strong. You need something strong to hold up your granite. You want something with a strong foundation. Well, look no further than this beast for your next kitchen, bar or office remodeling job. It looks great indoors and excellent outdoors. When you are ready to fire up your grill, this is a wonderful outdoor support. A perfect addition to any Floating Countertop, granite application or stone bar – it is a master addition to the Federal Brace line.

A hulk of a design, with three holes that give it a modern spacious look, in keeping with our Euro-modern designed brackets. Clearly American-made - you will not find a more beefy support anywhere in the market. Trust your instincts and put this in any construction or work area you may find. You will not be disappointed in this beautifully crafted, confident support.

Federal Brace: More Ways Better Than the ‘other guys’ - Supporting Shelves, Too.


Federal Brace is expanding its product selection to include shelf support brackets. The company’s countertop supports are providing that solution the consumer wants for their solid surface counters and now the company is determined to support the rest of the home as well. With its new line of shelf support brackets Federal Brace is moving into the library, bedroom and pretty much anywhere where there is a standard shelving application.

By the end of the year, Federal Brace plans to add sixteen shelf bracket styles, some of them modeled after your favorite kitchen countertop supports, matching the countertop supports in your kitchen to the shelves in the rest of your house can be achieved.

How are they structured differently? First of all, you’ll notice a considerable weight difference between Federal Brace and Box-Store Brackets. The Federal Brace shelf support bracket is made out of a twelve-gauge material while the standard box store bracket is made out of a thinner material. The Federal Brace shelf bracket mount is a wider dimension. This provides greater strength and stability to your shelves. Federal Brace Shelf Brackets make the wood or plastic counterparts look like toothpicks – in my opinion.

Federal Brace shelf brackets give you a choice, and a benefit in a brushed stainless finish that matches nicely with standard stainless and brush nickel finishes. They provide the stainless steel option, knowing that customers are willing to pay for a certain type of look. You will notice that Federal Brace has less dings than store bought corbels, because of the care involved with the finishing the brackets, and the fact that they are not shipped in containers from overseas. Not to forget, the bracket is constructed with plug welding which gives a weld free finish on the face of the bracket.

Federal Brace knows that some homeowners want to have heavier shelving applications. You can support wood, glass, marble, granite and no weak substitute will do for any of these applications. Some may point out the price comparison, that’s fine, because as the old adage goes, “ you get what you pay for.” So, when your shelves matter, go with Federal Brace Shelf Supports. ~ www.federalbrace.com
