Planar 8 Sink

Designed and hand-fabricated in Italy, the Planar 8 Kitchen Sink Series is made of smooth, Grade 304 (18 percent chromium, 10 percent nickel), 18-gauge stainless steel, with sound-dampening pads and Franke’s silky luster finishMaximized work space: These undermount sinks measure 17 inches from front to back to enhance countertop work space without compromising sink functionality. Maximized storage space: The drain is placed in the rear of the unit so that drainage piping does not crowd the space inside the cabinet beneath the sink. Easier cleaning: Keeping a Planar 8 sink bright and clean is easy given the thoughtful design, according to Brad Kiel, Vice President of Franke Kitchen Systems Luxury segment. “Unlike the zero-degree radius corners of other hand-fabricated kitchen sinks, the new Planar 8 is handcrafted with a tight, 8mm radius,” he says. “That minimally curved corner makes this new product much easier to maintain.” Enhanced functionality: Custom accessories, such as a bottom grid, a cutting board, and a colander are available to create a more productive and enjoyable cooking experience.
