This makes SILGRANIT the right material for your kitchen sink

A kitchen sink has to put up with a lot over the course of the day. In the morning, hot coffee is spilled onto the sink. At lunchtime, some chicken may accidentally slip into the bowl after being washed. In the evening, a burned pan needs to be scrubbed. Nothing to worry about? Absolutely. Granite sinks made of Silgranit remain as they are. You can rest assured that the strong material made of up to 80% quartz sand, the strongest component of granite, is resistent to any common chores.

Silganit is clean

The no. 1 reason to buy: a breeze to clean

Chopped beetroot on the white sink. A red wine glass left on the drainer. This can cause nasty stains. But now? It’s no problem for Silgranit. Often the stain can simply be washed away by running the mixer tap. Just like that.
Save yourself hours of scrubbing. Enjoy chopping and frying food together with your loved ones, then savouring a delicious meal in good company. In between, rinse off large dishes and wipe down your Silgranit sink. Done. Drops of sauce run off into the bowl practically by themselves. Crumb and dirt remain lying on the surface. One wipe, and it's all gone. This is the sink for today.
In about the time it takes to brush your teeth. Daily cleaning and care could hardly be faster.

Cleaning Silgranit
Silgranit is clean

Ensures daily healthy family living

Hand washing accounts for 33% of all related food poisoning cases. It is therefore important to maintain good personal hygiene practice. But there are more things you can do to take care of your families health. A food safe material such as Silgranit will best reduce the risk of becoming sick from food-born diseases. This is particularly important because there is no immediate way of telling if food is contaminated. You cannot see, taste or smell anything different from the norm. All Silgranit sinks have the built-in patented protective formula Hygiene+Plus with antibacterial properties. The hygienic test* of the material Silgranit has shown that the material inhibits the formation of microbial biofilms and the growth of microorganisms on the material over time.

* Tests carried out by DHZ (German Hygiene Certificate GmbH) on behalf of and financed by BLANCO GmbH + Co KG with Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus in April 2022. More details on the tests are available here ( PDF in english / PDF in german ).

Questions about Silgranit

What is Silgranit made of?

Our granite sinks consist of Silgranit, a composite material made of up to 80 % quartz sand, the strongest component of granite. This is apparent not only to the eye, but also to the touch. Our Silgranit sinks have a lovely stone-like feel and are extremely easy to clean. What’s more, the material is highly resistant. You want to have free rein in your kitchen, whether you're cooking with tomatoes, strawberries, lemon juice or beetroot. Your sink is impervious to whatever ends up in it, and simply will not allow any discolouration. Only if limescale builds up on the surface of your sink you’ll need to remove it to avoid dirt accumulation. This makes your Silgranit sink an optimal synthesis of functionality and visual appeal

Is Silgranit heat-resistant?

The DIN standard is a uniform type of testing especially designed to check whether a product can withstand the usual chores in and around a kitchen sink.

Do I need to take special care of a Silgranit sink if I use a hot mixer tap with boiling water?

Silgranit is ready to work with a hot mixer tap. Silgranit isn’t fazed by high temperatures, so boiling water won’t be a problem. A hot mixer tap like our TAMPERA delivers water at 100°C directly out of the spout, ready to make tea or cook food. Using it correctly is important to avoid injuries or putting an excessive burden on the sink.

Here our experienced tips:

• Always place a pot or cup below the tap before activating the boiling water and turn it off in good time to avoid spills.

• Be sure to keep your hands away from the running boiling water.

• Remember that the spout might be very hot after running boiling water, so avoid touching it or run some cold water before touching it. This might be very important if you have kids at home.

• Move the spout of the tap to different positions to ensure that the boiling water doesn’t hit always the same spot on the sink or place a cloth on the bottom to avoid subjecting one point of the sink surface to too much boiling water.

How do I remove metal abrasion (e.g. from pots) on the Silgranit sink?

Insert the sink into the countertop. Hammer the hole through from the top. To do this, pick the right position, center the punch and tap it with the hammer. Then carefully tap the remaining pieces out of the hole mark with the hammer. In the last step, bring the hole to the right size with the file until it is flush with the pre-milled hole.
