Use Iron Corbels for Durability

Iron corbels are popular because they are extremely sturdy and practically indestructible. Meaning, no matter how big or heavy your countertop is, an iron corbel will support it without any issue of breaking down or bending. All you need to do is to ensure that the corbel has been mounted properly and securely. On the other hand if you use corbels made of wood or other materials, a delicate or carved design will fail to provide the necessary support to the heavy countertop. They also have a higher probability of chipping, scratching getting damaged because the materials are so much softer than iron. Another added benefit is that an iron counter top support bracket will not rot or decay with use as is the case with wooden corbels.
