• Franke Undermount Kitchen Sinks are part of the
  Franke Kitchen System which are manufactured by
  Franke Holding AG. The company is largely based
  in Aarburg, Switzerland and have set up shop in
  over Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, North and
  South America.

• The company had its start with Hermann Franke
  who founded a metal sheet business in 1911 of the
  same name in Rorschach, Switzerland. He ventured
  into the manufacture of skylights, oven tops and
  dormer windows in the late 1920s and when the
  1930s rolled around, he went to manufacturing his
  first nickeline sink but was later revised to a
  stainless steel sink.

• Unfortunately, Hermann Franke died shortly after
  on January 25, 1939 but his son, Walter, took
  over the management of the business. It
  definitely was not easy filling his fathers
  shoes especially since the Second World War made
  it difficult to acquire raw materials for
  manufacturing. However, with hard work and
  determination, Walter was able to expand the
  factory and started on manufacturing complete
  kitchen systems.

• It wasnt long after that the construction
  industry began to improve and along with it,
  Franke became the go-to for quality and state of
  the art kitchen sinks. Franke Holdings expanded
  and ventured into Washroom and Sanitary equipment
  in the 1950s and by late 1950s, a whole division
  was created to handle Commercial Kitchen
  Equipments.
• The rest, as they say, is history.

• A Franke stainless steel undermount sink is
  different a regular stainless steel kitchen sink.
  After all, not all materials are created equal
  not even stainless steel. For Franke stainless
  steel sinks, the gauge or thickness of the steel
  only ranges from 16 to 20 from a possible range
  of 8 to 30 with the lowest number being the
  thickness.

• The Franke stainless steel grade is fixed at 304
  which is also the most popular kitchen sink grade
  for stainless steel. However, the average nickel
  content for this grade is 8 percent but Frankes
  kitchen sinks contains at least 10 percent. The
  higher nickel content allows for more resistance
  against corrosion.
• It also has a high chromium content that helps
  make it resistant to corrosion.

• All Franke Undermount Kitchen Sinks are 100
  percent recyclable which makes it very
  environment friendly. Moreover, it is also made
  from 70 recycled materials which means you are

  it will succumb to wears and tears from daily
  abuse. Nothing is ever indestructible. Hence, to
  ensure that your franke kitchen sinks will last
  you a long time, it is important to take into
  account its short care instructions.

11

• While although the Franke sinks are made from
  Type 304 stainless steel grades well and above
  the standard, it is still vulnerable to damages
  from abrasives, bleaches and chlorine cleaners.
  Truth be told that it cant be helped to subject
  your Franke kitchen sink to strong cleaning
  chemicals but there are things you can do to
  minimize its damage.

12

• One such interference is to dilute these
  cleaning chemicals with running water. You need
  to also remember to rinse these Franke kitchen
  sinks thoroughly to remove any trace of these
  chemicals that will damage even the most popular
  kitchen sinks. Even the best kitchen sinks will
  suffer notable damage if routinely exposed to
  damaging cleaning chemicals so care is important
  for them to perform at its optimum.

13

• Ideally, you should never use chlorine based
  cleaners on a regular basis and steer clear of
  steel wool pads or rough sponges to minimize the
  damage on your Franke kitchen sink. You may want
  to opt for soft cloth or mild soap in cleaning
  your Franke Undermount Kitchen Sinks.
