Product Information
Full details
This Franke Sirius kitchen sink is designed for homeowners seeking a durable, lightweight, and stylish addition to their kitchen, particularly those looking to create a complementary setup with another Franke undermount sink. Its primary benefit lies in the Tectonite material, offering superior resistance to heat, scuffs, scratches, and stains compared to traditional materials. A potential caveat is its single-bowl design, which may require careful planning for larger tasks if not paired with a secondary sink. Key features include its robust Tectonite construction, heat resistance up to 300°C, exceptional durability against daily wear, and a sleek undermount profile.

FAQs
What is Tectonite and why is it beneficial?
Tectonite is a durable composite material exclusive to Franke. It offers superior resistance to heat (up to 300°C), scuffs, scratches, chips, and stains compared to traditional sink materials. It is also lightweight, making installation easier.
Can I install this sink myself?
The sink is designed for undermount installation. While possible for experienced DIYers, professional installation is recommended to ensure a watertight seal and proper structural support, especially with countertop materials.
How do I clean the sink to maintain its finish?
For daily cleaning, use a soft damp cloth with mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. For tougher marks, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for composite sinks. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals.
What is the minimum cabinet size required for this sink?
The minimum cabinet size required for this Franke Sirius undermount sink is 400mm.
Is this sink suitable for placing hot pans on?
The Tectonite material is heat resistant up to 300°C. However, for optimal long-term care and to preserve the sink's appearance, using trivets or mats for extremely hot pans is advisable.
What is the warranty on this sink?
This Franke Sirius kitchen sink comes with a 50-year guarantee from the manufacturer.
Can I use this as a main kitchen sink?
Yes, you can use it as a main sink, especially in smaller kitchens or if you prefer a single-bowl design. It is also ideal as a secondary prep or rinsing sink when paired with a larger main sink.
Troubleshooting
Sink appears dull or shows light scratches.
Use a specialized composite sink cleaner or a non-abrasive cream cleaner with a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Water is not draining efficiently.
Check the plughole for obstructions. Ensure the waste pipe and trap are clear and properly connected. Verify the sink has a slight fall towards the drain.
Water spots are visible after drying.
Ensure the sink is thoroughly dried with a soft, clean cloth after each use. Consider using a water softener if you have hard water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This sink is designed for undermount installation. This means it is fitted underneath your chosen countertop material (e.g., granite, quartz, solid surface). Professional installation is often recommended to ensure a secure and watertight fit. The minimum cabinet width required is 400mm.
Compatibility:
- Countertops: Compatible with solid surface countertops such as granite, quartz, and solid wood, provided they can support an undermount sink.
- Plumbing: Standard kitchen sink plumbing fittings are compatible. Ensure correct waste and overflow kits are used.
- Complementary Sink: Ideal for pairing with another Franke undermount sink to create a dual-basin setup.
Care:
- Daily Cleaning: Clean with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry to prevent water spots.
- Stubborn Stains: For tougher stains, a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for composite materials can be used. Avoid abrasive pads or scouring powders that could damage the surface.
- Heat Resistance: While heat resistant up to 300°C, it is still advisable to use trivets or mats for extremely hot pans to prolong the sink's aesthetic quality.
- Chemicals: Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or oven cleaners. Always rinse spills promptly.
