A kitchen sink is used more than almost anything else in the kitchen, so it's worth getting right. The main choice is stainless steel vs quartz composite — here's how Franke and Faber InGranite compare.
Franke stainless steel (Mythos, Box, Artisan) is hard-wearing, hygienic and takes heavy daily use. Good-quality steel resists stains and heat; a satin finish hides scratches well. It's the safe, classic choice.
Franke Fragranite and Faber InGranite quartz composite sinks are dense, scratch- and heat-resistant, and much quieter under running water. They come in colours (not just steel) to match darker counters, and hide water spots better. Slightly more care around harsh abrasives.
Want the classic, bulletproof option? Stainless steel. Want a quieter sink, a colour match to your granite, and a premium feel? Quartz composite. Both ranges are on our sink wall — come run the tap and feel the difference. We install and seal every sink ourselves.
Neither is strictly better — composite is quieter and comes in colours; steel is tougher and timeless. It comes down to your counter, your style and how hard the sink will be used.
Quality composite (Fragranite, InGranite) strongly resists scratches and heat. Avoid harsh abrasive scouring and they stay looking new for years.
Yes — both Franke and Faber InGranite are on live display at our stores, installed on the sink wall so you can test the feel and the sound.
