    Franke all the time!

    We've got one and a half sinks though not sure that the small one is even a half size. There's a strainer compartment on the small sink and a glass movable piece covering the draining board. I insisted on it. Last sink I had in the previous house bounced when pushed.

    Franke fragranite, in black, for me in the new kitchen.


    My husband says that Franke will replace one of theirs if it's years old and that he has collected 15 year-old ones which have been replaced.


    I think all types of sink have their pros and cons; even the 'tough' old Belfast sinks, which can have chunks knocked out of them.


    Our first sink in this house was stainless steel and it was scratched very easily, while showing water marks, unless you wanted to spend time drying and polishing after every use of liquid.


    The present one, due to be replaced is composite and is 26 years old. The only damage is a tiny chip in the bottom of the basin, caused when one of our sons dropped something sharp and heavy into it.
