Blanco is a German sink manufacturer.  They also make bar sinks, kitchen faucets, bar faucets and custom and decorative accessories.  

When choosing a Blanco product such as their kitchen sinks, keep in mind a few points.

• The sink gets the most use out of any other item in your kitchen. 
• It is used as a place where friends and family help clean dishes after a meal. 
• It is where you clean vegetables, cut and slice food, water plants, soak pots and pans. 
• No matter what the time of day your sink is the workhorse in your kitchen from food preparation to clean up. 
• It has to stand up to the coldest and hottest temperatures. 
• It has to be able to take on jarring bumps and nicks as well as fight off stains from a variety of foods and beverages. 
• But most of the kitchen sink is the focal point as it is the place we all use in the kitchen. 

With Blanco kitchen sinks constantly improving their designs they are a hard bargain to pass up. Designs nowadays offer both style and durability, which allows for making decisions easier when it comes to matching a sink to your lifestyle. Just keep in mind the important features to consider. 

Important Features To Consider 

When choosing Blanco stainless steel sinks consider these features: 

MATERIAL 

304 series stainless steel is the best possible solution for kitchen sinks because of its durability and resistance to stain. 

THICKNESS  

The gauge of stainless steel measures thickness. 18 gauge is optimal. Just remember that the lower the gauge the thicker the steel. 

FINISH  

A finish that is long lasting and is easy to clean and impervious to water stains is best. The satin finish Blanco uses is superb. 

DESIGN DETAIL  

Flat bottoms sinks and tight radius corners are ideal. The flat bottom allows pots and pans to sit upright and the radius corners allow for more sink space. 

SOUND INSULATION 

Blanco kitten sinks feature sound insulation on their stainless steel sinks which muffles sound from the garbage disposal and water from the faucet hitting the sink bed. 

In choosing granite kitchen sinks from Blanco consider the following, as they are different from choosing a stainless steel sink. 

STAIN RESISTANCE  

Choose a non-porous design to resist stains. 

HEAT RESISTANCE  

The ability to handle extreme changes in temperature and heat resistant up to 536° F 

DURABILITY  

A surface that is very resistant to chipping and scratching and a high resiliency. 

VERSATILITY 

Designs that are pleasing and eye catching while maintaining function and flare. 

COLOR THROUGHOUT  

The color of the granite should run throughout the sink not just on the surface. 

HYGIENIC  

Is resistant to odors and bacteria. 

Some other points to keep in mind are dimension, number of bowls, configuration, bowl depth and accessories.  

All of these points go into making a decision on the type of kitchen sink you install. Do not take it lightly. Your kitchen sinks is the anchor of your kitchen design.
