LAS VEGAS (JANUARY 20, 2015) — The new Planar 8 Series of handcrafted, Italian-made, stainless steel kitchen sinks from Franke Kitchen Systems feature sleek, contemporary designs that are right at home in any modern kitchen décor.

Introducing the New Franke Planar 8 Kitchen Sink

Designed and hand-fabricated in Italy, the Franke Planar 8 Kitchen Sink Series is made from premium 304 grade 18-gauge stainless steel, equipped with sound-dampening pads and Franke’s silky luster finish. Other key features include:

Maximized work space:
These undermount sinks measure 17 inches from front to back to enhance countertop work space without compromising sink functionality.

Maximized storage space:
The drain is placed in the rear of the unit so that drainage piping does not crowd the space inside the cabinet beneath the sink.

Easier cleaning:
Unlike other hand-fabricated sinks, the new Franke Planar 8 sinks are engineered with an 8 degree radius in the corners making the sink much easier to maintain.

Enhanced functionality:
Custom accessories, such as a bottom grid and a cutting board, are available to create a more productive and enjoyable food-preparation experience.

In conjunction with this introduction, Franke is also unveiling the Planar 8 Flex Semi-Professional Kitchen Faucet as a complement to the new sink series.
