Franke 114.0496.098 Granite Kitchen Sink with a Single Bowl, Grey

Very nice sink. Looks great.

Good quality. The fittings weren’t uk standard which caused issues for the plumber took off a star for that

Lovely sink but plumber did have problems as euro fittings so we had to use old waste.

Advert says Granite sink but it’s not, it’s fibreglass/plastic coated called tectonite, and it feels and looks cheaper than a proper granite sink.

DELIVERED WITH I SUSPECT MAINLY DELIVERY AND HANDLING DAMAGE AND MULTIPLE LARGE UNACCEPTABLE FACTORY IMPERFECTIONS WHICH MADE THE MODEL NEED RETURNING, I AM PLEASE I RETURNED IT FOR A REFUND AND NOT REPLACEMENT AS TO MY EYES IT LOOK VERY POOR, CHEAPLY MADE AND BADLY MADE TO WITH NO PRIDE, LIGHT DUTY AT HEAVY DUTY PRICES, OBVIOUS VISUALLY UGLY MARKS AND BAD IMPERFECTIONS, MAYBE THIS WAS A ONE OFF THAT GOT PAST QUALITY CONTROL BUT I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT, EITHER WAY I DID NOT GO FOR A REPLACEMENT AS I WAS SO UNHAPPY WITH THE SINK QUALITY FEEL AND BUILD.,ITS LIKE SO MANY THINGS TODAY, LACK OF QUALITY TO BUILD THINGS AT THE BARE MINIMAL TO GET AWAY WITH GOOD ENOUGH TO LAST THE WARRANTY, EVEN A SINK NOTHING SEEMS FIT FOR PURPOSE OR BUILT TO LAST, 60 YEARS AGO A GRANITE SINK OR THE LIKES WOULD HAVE BEEN A SUBSTANTIAL HIGH QUALITY MADE ITEM, BUT IT SEEMS WITH BETTER TECHNOLOGY, EFFICIENT AUTOMATION PLUS MORE KNOWLEDGE ITEMS SUCH AS THESE ARE BUILT NOT TO LAST AND NOT JUST THIS SINK I BELIEVE THEY ARE PURPOSELY DESIGNED TO THE EDGE FOR MINIMAL LIFE BUT GOOD ENOUGH TO GET THROUGH A WARRANTY PERIOD , THEY CAN PUSH WITH BARE MINIMAL LIFE EXPECTANCY OR DESIGNED TO FAIL TO GET THROUGH THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND NOT MUCH LONGER,TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE EVERYTHING WORSE AND CHEAP FEELING, LIGHT DUTY, YES THIS MAYBE TECHNICALLY GRANITE BUT ITS NO WHAT I CONSIDER A QUALITY GRANITE ITEM,TO MY EYES CLOSE UP ITS RUBBISH AND POOR QUALITY, I TRULY HOPE ITS A 1 OFF AND ANY DAMAGE WAS NOT THE NORM, HOWEVER IT WILL NOT MAKE THE SINK ANY HIGHER DUTY OR LAST ANY LONGER.I DONT THINK YOU SHOULD AVOID THE SINK JUST ACCEPT TODAY WE PAY FOR CHEAP MADE OVER PRICED ITEMS THAT ARE DESIGNED AS THROW AWAY ITEMS OR DESIGNED TO FAIL AFTER A SHORT TIME, MY NAN'S OLD BELFAST SINK IS LIKELY OVER 70 YEARS OLD AND STILL LOOKS NEW AND SHES USED IT MULTIPLE TIMES EVERY DAY FOR 50 YEARS.
