Franke Sinks
The Franke sink is manufactured by a Swiss company that was formed in 1911. Franke produced their first sink in 1925 and is now the world’s largest manufacturer of kitchen sinks using both composite and stainless steel materials. More than 50 million Franke sinks have been produced and delivered since the company’s inception.
In the beginning the kitchen sink was a massive tub fixed to the wall with a wooden drainer beside it. Nowadays, with kitchen design playing a key role in home improvement, this appliance has become more then just a working item. Franke is at the forefront of research and development of new materials and products for the Franke sink as well as the kitchen.
Franke sinks are designed to be good looking and fashionable, as well as functional. Options in terms of materials, colors and styles are much more widely available. Franke provides all the key elements necessary to create an individualized kitchen.
Many kitchen designers are now using stainless steel as a design motif. This material gives domestic kitchens a modern semi-professional look. Stainless steel is also the first choice of catering and medical establishments since stainless steel is easy to clean and extremely hygienic.
Franke sinks made from stainless steel range from hi-tech to simple contract styles. They are resistant to rust, corrosion and heat because they are non-porous, thus they will not taint food. Stainless steel Franke sinks will not chip, flake or break.
The neutral finish of stainless steel blends with any kitchen color scheme or theme. It is also possible for it to be color keyed with existing décor through the use of colored accessories. The finish of the stainless steel Franke sink may be achieved in either brushed satin or polished. Both finishes develop a rich patina over the years. Other options are the textured feel of linen, CordSteel or the new microtexture finish used by Franke in certain models.
