Natural Choice
THE SILICATEC GRANITE RANGE OF KITCHEN SINKS BY HANSGROHE OFFERS STYLISH VARIETY WHILE TAKING THE HARD KNOCKS OF KITCHEN WORK
The open-plan kitchen remains popular for good reason. It not only enables home chefs to interact with family or friends while preparing meals; as a visual and physical extension of main living spaces, it offers more holistic design opportunities. Products catering to this trend continue to be developed by leading companies such as German bathroom and kitchen solutions manufacturer Hansgrohe. Take, for instance, its Silicatec granite kitchen sink range from its hansgrohe brand; a modern alternative to traditional stainless steel. Designed by Phoenix Design Studio, the sink boasts a pleasing touch and natural look that matches countless counter finishes.
MADE TO LAST
Apart from their elegant form, hansgrohe’s Silicatec granite sinks are highly practical. The composite material comprises quartz and acrylic resins, and only the rounded quartz sand particles—the hardest constitute of granite—are processed. Hence, aside from being odourless, UV stable, heat resistant, food safe, stain resistant and non-porous, the sinks are highly robust. Impervious to red wine and coffee as well as hot pots and pans, these durable granite sinks will remain a key kitchen feature for years.
VERSATILE FEATURES
The Silicatec granite sinks offer personalisation via a variety of configurations, which includes dual or single sinks in 450mm or 660mm basin width that can be under-mounted or surface-mounted. Available in stone grey or graphite black, the sinks can be paired with hansgrohe mixers to become a complete combinationsink unit. These sinks feature an additional handle or a push button at the bottom right-hand side of the sink, so that you can start or stop the water flow using the back of your hand or elbow when your hands are dirty. It also includes the innovative sbox, which neatly stores the pull-out spray in a flat casing, adding to the streamlined look of the sink; the hose can be extended up to 76cm in length.
