Why Stainless Steel?

A closer look at why stainless steel is still Franke's most popular material for kitchen sink.

Franke Sinks are renowned for their high level of craftsmanship, quality, and for providing designs with long lasting style. Franke sinks are made to last and satisfy functional needs without sacrificing style.

Despite being a material that has been around for 100 years, stainless steel continues to be a popular option for kitchens all over the world. High-grade chrome-nickel steel is used to make Franke stainless steel. In the case of polished finish, the stainless-steel surface refines more with use to give a lovely, glistening surface, while staying resistant to rust, heat, and impacts, as well as simple to clean and naturally hygienic. A sustainable substance for kitchens, stainless steel is 100% recyclable and has a low environmental impact.

If Stainless Steel is one of the most popular materials in the kitchen, it’s for good reason:

 

Environmentally Friendly

Stainless steel is entirely recyclable. 70% of the recycled steel used in Franke products originates from reliable sources around the world. Due to its long-lasting qualities, it is a sustainable option that will work well in any household.

 

Durable

Because of its unique nickel and chrome compositions, AISI 304 18/10 steel is especially resistant to high temperatures. Its brilliance does not diminish with time; on the contrary, its allure and attractiveness grow.

 

Functional

Due to its resistance, hygienic qualities, stainless steel is the material of choice for residential and commercial kitchens. 

 

Easily Maintained

Steel is easy to maintain - just a few simple daily steps ensure that it remains a joy to use over time. Additionally, cleaning its non-porous surface is incredibly simple.

Consider the purchase of your stainless-steel sink as a worthwhile investment when renovating your kitchen. Once installed, it is unlikely you would change your sink for another few decades. Franke has garnered a respected brand reputation both locally and across the world, for its high-quality products. Franke offers a comprehensive aftersales and spares support network to customers as well as a 25-year warranty on all Stainless-Steel Sinks.
