Our materials

To satisfy requirements governing hygiene, functionality, durability, resistance to damage, safety, aesthetics and design, we work primarily with the following materials:

MIRANIT

Sanitary equipment products, made of MIRANIT, a shatter-proof, resin-bonded mineral material, are ideally suited to the modern and at the same time aesthetically pleasing interior design of sanitary facilities. MIRANIT stands for the stable compound consisting of approximately 80% natural minerals – such as marble powder, sandstone and quartz sand – and approximately 20% high-quality unsaturated polyester resin. Due to its excellent fluidity, the resin-bonded mineral material can also be used to create products of almost any shape with a minimal material thickness too.

In addition to the Alpine white colour, other colours can be implemented upon request.

Stainless steel

There are good reasons why stainless steel is Franke's material of choice for facilities in public and semi-public sanitary facilities. This high-quality material combines stylish aesthetics with functionality and durability. It can be combined and complemented perfectly with materials such as glass and ceramics. Stainless steel is a material capable of absorbing and reflecting the light and colours of its environment. Stainless steel products can be integrated easily as stylish accents into almost any room environment.

InoxPlus surface finish

With the surface finish of InoxPlus, Franke has succeeded in further enhancing the existing properties of stainless steel. This means that aggravating fingerprint marks are now a thing of the past. This is a technology involving the use of nano-particles, which bond with molecules on the surface of the metal and therefore smooth out tiny microscopic irregularities. The result takes the form of surfaces that are easy to clean and that resist fingerprint marks, thanks to their in-depth surface enhancement.

Safety glass

Single-glazed safety glass is a material that, like stainless steel, impresses by virtue of its timeless character and its ability to combine with other materials. Glass and stainless steel represent outstanding quality and timeless elegance. Both materials now form essential components of contemporary interior design. This is why a deliberate combination of these two materials is particularly appealing to the eye.
