Blanco's range here covers kitchen sinks and taps, along with a soap dispenser to match. It suits anyone planning the whole sink area together, because the sinks and taps are designed to work as a set. You can see them side by side in Blanco sinks and taps.
Start with how the sink fits. Undermount bowls sit below the worktop, so crumbs and spills can be wiped straight in. Inset sinks drop in from above, and some have a flat rim that sits flush with the worktop. Sinks come in stainless steel with a brushed or satin finish, in Dark Steel on some ZEROX models, and in SILGRANIT granite composite in colours such as Anthracite, Rock Grey, Alumetallic, White, Jasmin, Tartufo, Coffee and Black. Colour options vary by model. Bowl layouts range from compact 0.5 prep bowls to single and 1.5 bowls. Minimum cabinet widths run from 30 cm to 80 cm, so check the cabinet under the sink first.
Many models have the InFino strainer, which drains water quickly and looks neat in the bowl. ETAGON sinks have a step inside the bowl that holds removable rails. These give you a second level to work on, so you can fill a pan without holding it or soak a baking tray underneath while still using the top. Some inset models have PushControl, a flat button that opens the waste without you reaching into dirty water.
All the taps listed need a high-pressure supply, usually at least 1.0 bar, and some need 2.0 bar, so check your water pressure first. Some taps have a fixed swivel spout, while others have a pull-out spray. The FLEXO designs have a flexible hose, a choice of aerated stream or rinse spray, and a magnetic holder that docks the hose. There is also a tap with a rise-and-fall spout. Finishes include chrome, solid stainless steel and matt black. The Blanco accessories page has a soap dispenser you refill from above. To narrow your choice, pick undermount or inset to suit your worktop, then choose stainless steel or SILGRANIT, and finally choose a tap your water pressure can supply.
