Georgia,
The fabricator will have the spec needed to properly support
the stone. If you want you can go to the MIA a see if they have this spec out
there. I would not be the one recommending the support, leave this up to the
fabricator. Then it is the fabricators responsibility not yours . your interior
decorator or home owner needs to speak with the fabricator.

Subject: [sccpartners] Granite Design/Support Ideas
Hi all,
I have a interior decorator who is working with a client of
mine. They were going to use an absolute black granite for their bathroom
design and I suggested that they stay away from the absolute black granite...we
all know why. I gave them a couple other option that will go very nicely
with their design. However, this is the new issue...
They will have a new cabinet base with the granite but they
want to extend the granite to go above the toilet to maximize shelf space but
will still want to have the ability to lift up the granite in case the toilet
needs servicing. I am thinking of plywood on the back of the granite and
using Corbels. Do you think this would work, be stable and still give
accessibility? The shelf area will not have a "base" to support
it. I am not fabricating this...but trying to help give the client some
ideas.
