Maximize your counter space with custom-fitted elements such as a built-in soap dispenser.

Franke presents: Selecting the Perfect Sink

More time is spent at the kitchen sink than at any other kitchen area, so carefully consider your specific needs.


  • Consider size and depth.
    Let your counter space and its layout determine the size and shape of your sink. If you enjoy cooking for family and friends, consider a deep main sink to accommodate large pots and pans, with a second smaller sink as a separate workstation.

  • Create a convenient configuration.
    Choose a configuration that fits your workflow. Do you prefer a double-basin sink with a larger bowl to the right or the left for easy clean-up? What about a third basin for garbage disposal?

  • Enhance your workflow with accessories.
    Maximize usable counter space with custom-fitted, in-sink accessories, like cutting boards and drain baskets, or with deck-mounted features such as built-in soap dispensers.

  • Select durable materials.
    When selecting materials, be sure to ask about heat, stain resistance, and durability against nicks and scratches. If you're going for stainless steel, you'll want to look for heavy-gauge with undercoating for sound absorption.
