in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
I have a max budget of £200 to spend and have narrowed it down to these 2 sinks.

or

Needs to fit in a 600 unit and be of good quality - dont want it to bend as have a tall tap I plan on fitting.
Grateful for advice and happy for other recommendations although I like the look of the 2 above so advice on those would be ideal!

Thanks

    Both are good sinks and will fit inside 600 base unit. I have fitted Frankie before and can recommend their products.
    don't want it to bend as have a tall tap I plan on fitting.
    No sink will bend if it is properly installed. Are you DIY?

    Buying myself but got a kitchen fitter putting it in so hopefully all good.

    Neverheard of clearwater before nor can I find a website which worried me, but is thicker than the Franke so was assuming that meant it was better?

    Will the tap brace come with the sink?

    Nope, freely available from B&Poo and the like - just Google it.

    Ruski - Any preference on the 2 sinks?

    I Always fit Franke - that particular model has an 'innovative' clip in system - your fitter needs to be very accurate with the cutout as it's basically a one hit fit, not the 'traditional' screwed clips.
