Re: Caesarstone benchtops- overhang of 40 cm okay? 3Feb 20, 2011 11:09 am jtnru I am having a caesarstonebechtop with an overhang of approx 40cm on one end and along one side. My cabinet maker says I will need a support post in the corner - anyone else needed to do that??? Yes unless you want the stone to crack Re: Caesarstone benchtops- overhang of 40 cm okay? 4Feb 20, 2011 2:16 pm I was told that waterfall ends don't provide enough support.

Caesarstone benchtops- overhang of 40 cm okay? 6Feb 20, 2011 5:49 pm blueblueblue I was told that waterfall ends don't provide enough support. But then again this probably depends on the length if your island... I don't know how true this is? My island is 4000 x 1200 and has waterfall edges. The only other "support" there is is the actual cabinetry underneath. My kitchen maker has been in business for close to thirty years so I trust him implicitly. Some things are worth waiting for.

Plywood Underlayment & Brackets for overhangs between 300mm and 457 mm? See page 14 http://www.uhny.com/pdf/caesarstone_tech_datasheet.pdf Re: Caesarstone benchtops- overhang of 40 cm okay? 11Jan 29, 2012 1:30 am quantum quartz manual says: All the overhangs provided for the breakfast bar or any top should be properly supported with brackets. Rule of thumb is that any overhang exceeding 200mm shall require 10mm thick 70 mm wide steel bar placed underneath the top. However, if 40mm thick laminated edges are used then the piece pasted to the top can extend the whole width of the over hang to take some stress placed on the overhangs. If the overhang is less than 400mm then the general practice is to provide a support base made up of timber and the brackets placed approximately 500mm apart. All overhangs exceeding 400mm should be supported with proper metal legs. The brackets should be fastened to a backer plate, which is secured with the cabinet with screws.
