Once you have chosen your kitchen sink, you want to take advantage of utilizing it most efficiently. How is this accomplished? By accessorizing it! Franke realizes people use their sinks in many different ways and they have developed different products to turn it into a multi-purpose workstation.
The most important accessory is the bottom grid. You invested in a H20 Appliance you are going to have for a very long time…take care of it! Every Franke sink has a bottom grid designed to fit that sink! They perfectly fit the sink and are design to protect against scratches and pot scuffing (those black marks that your pots/pans can leave in fireclay sinks).
Many of Franke’s sinks have a built-in ledge to hold a shelf grid. This grid is great in providing an area to rinse produce on, drying hand washed items, or even setting a pan of boiling water on…it brings the work space up to you. All of Franke’s grids are made out of stainless steel and are dishwasher safe.
Chopping and cutting food is a necessity when preparing a snack or meal. Why use counter-top space and create an additional mess when you can utilize the area in your sink? Franke’s cutting boards are made from solid wood and designed to fit on top of sinks.
Draining pasta or rinsing blueberries? Why not select a Franke sink that has an optional custom-fitted colander? Like the grids, make of stainless steel.
If you ask any sales associate at Don’s Appliances what their favorite Franke accessory is, they will say the Roller Mat and they can list a number of creative ways to use it. This stainless steel mat (18-3/4 x 15-1/16) will fit just about any sink (except an apron front). You lay it over the sink and now have created additional counter-top space. A great area to dry (dish drainer), cool (cookies), and even catch crumbs…lay your cutting board on top of it and slice your loaf of bread..the crumbs are in the sink and not on your counter. It can even be used in the preparation of roll cakes or sandwich wraps. The nice thing is, it takes up very little storage space. Simply “roll” it and store it!
Franke also lists their disposer as an accessory! Franke’s disposers takes less time to grind your food because of their permanent magnet D/C motors. They have 30% more torque than an induction motor like their competitor. They grind so fine that they are septic safe with no additional chemicals needed. Bio Shield (an antimicrobial agent) is integrated into the disposers internal parts. This helps reduce orders causing bacteria, mold, and mildew. Selected models offer Silver Guard; a magnetic rim that keeps metal objects from falling into the disposer.
Make sure to ask what accessories are available to purchase when selecting your Franke sink!
