I am looking to fix a piece of 38x960x400mm Worktop to a wall as a work surface for a computer keyboard (monitor on the wall). The effect will be of a floating shelf. I need suggestions/links to an invisible bracket solution.

The wall that it will fix to is Dot/Dab on Cavity Brick wall. I am planning a backboard above the work surface so I can dig out the plasterboard if required.

I have seen a suggestion of threaded bar fixed in a drilled hole with resin and this looks pretty sturdy but I wonder if there is a solution that involves a right angled bracket that is rebated underneath the work surface.

Feel free to tell me it won't work!

EightyTwo - that's a good start, I think something long those lines, although a sideways T shape may be better - I google your idea and a few 5mm right angled restraint straps came up - I may give it a go in the Garage

FreddyMercurysTwin - Mmm, nothing on the page that you linked.

It may be worth putting some box-section into both skins and rebating into the bottom of the worktop?

Any more suggestions - I'm flailing in the dark!

Thinking further - I like the idea of drilling 3x25mm holes through the drywall, first brick skin and then halfway into thermoblock (I am in a conservatory drilling into the old external wall). Then sliding in 3 lengths of 25mm Box section.

Then placing the worktop on top after rebating three grooves.

Does anyone foresee a problem with slotting box section into thermoblock and taking upward pressure?

Thanks

Right angle brackets cut into wall thru plasterboard upside down above worktop then another piece on worktop as a back board to hide sunken wall brackets .
