Ceramic: The perfect blend of nature and design

For years, homeowners and kitchen lovers everywhere have turned to ceramic as their sink material of choice, as it stands the test of time, both in terms of style and wear. When paired with work surfaces such as wood, glass or granite, our selection of elegant designs and tones instantly elevate your kitchen to classic status. In addition, its smooth, impervious surface withstands heat, stains and impacts, and is also resistant to standard household chemicals - so you are free to use your sink worry-free, and with very little maintenance.

Homes are meant to be lived in. And sinks bear the brunt of our day-to-day life. Spills from tea, coffee or red wine. Knocks from metal, wood or even glass. And of course, the impact of scalding hot or icy cold water. With Franke ceramic, you can be sure these and other spills never turn into stains or cracks. Maintain your ceramic with a simple wipe-down using soapy water, and enjoy your sink for years to come.

Ceramic

Natural, practical and beautiful in equal parts

Quality made to last a lifetime

Right at the beginning of the process, the properties of our materials are continually subjected to stringent laboratory and usage tests and controls. Composed of liquid ceramic, the blend of quartz, kaolin and china clay is poured into a mould under high pressure. Once dried, any imperfections are worked on by hand using sponges and then the sink is glazed before passing through the kiln for 20 hours. As a final step, the material and design is always checked for quality, and ground for hand-crafted perfection that never fades.

Benefits

Easy breezy cleaning

A daily clean with a soft damp cloth and normal washing-up liquid is all it takes to keep your ceramic looking new. Avoid abrasive liquids or powders, drain cleaners or cleaners for steel and tap fittings.

Handling the heat

Franke ceramic is fired for 20 hours in a tunnel kiln at temperatures in excess of 1200 degrees Celsius or 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. This process creates an extremely hard surface that is scratch-resistant, heat-proof and impervious to acids and bleaches.
