Franke, a Swiss heritage brand founded in 1911, is a global leader in premium kitchen solutions, renowned for blending traditional craftsmanship and artisanal values with innovation and sustainability. The brand has kept one step ahead by continually embracing change as an opportunity in search of the ultimate functionality to suit contemporary needs. It’s a deliberate approach that transforms design from mere aesthetics into thoughtful, impactful, eco-friendly solutions.
Franke’s commitment to excellence shines in its development of unique materials, like Tectonite, a lightweight, durable composite. Tectonite is an advanced synthetic composite material, granite-like in appearance, non-porous in nature, and designed to deliver a host of features and benefits.
The Franke Tectonite Orion Double Bowl Inset with 90mm waste kit and overflow – an Italtile exclusive – is a wise choice, being eco-chic, practical, and durable. This Tectonite sink is a front-runner, primarily because of its space-age material, which was developed for durability.
We’ve picked five of the best reasons (apart from being drop-dead gorgeous) why the Franke Orion Double Bowl Inset with 90mm waste kit and overflow is a kitchen game changer.
1a. Bacteria Resistance: For any kitchen sink, the hygiene factor looms large in our books, and this Tectonite sink exceeds the very high expectations at Italtile. The surface is coated to protect it from any possibility of bacteria trying to hang on.
1b. Stain Resistance: Stain resistance comes hand in hand with bacteria resistance. Once again, it’s all about the coating, which makes the sink easy to clean and keep spotless. Of course, regular cleaning is key, and we recommend a thorough daily wipe-down with a soft, damp cloth. Franke has developed Inox, a specialist Tectonite cleaning crème, available exclusively at Italtile, to keep your Tectonite sink pristine and hygienic.
2. Heat Resistance: This is the Tectonite superpower, enabling your Franke Orion Double Bowl Sink to handle hot pots and pans that are as hot as 300 degrees Celsius surface for up to ten seconds. (Of course, the proviso is that you don’t take this as a dare and push the limits!)
3. Impact Resistance: Obviously we’re not expecting you to torture test your valuable Tectonite sink by hurling heavy objects at it from a distance... but with normal use, your Tectonite sink is resistant to impact and thermal shock. Everyday knocks and bumps are no match for Tectonite.
4. Scratch Resistance: Knives and forks won’t scratch the surface under normal use.
5. Fade Resistance: Whether you choose Carbon Black, Carbon White, or Urban Grey, the surface colour will not be affected by UV light and will not fade. This is a promise that holds throughout the lifetime of the product.
Your Franke Orion Tectonite Double Bowl Inset with 90mm waste kit and overflow from Italtile carries Italtile’s LiveGreen label for sustainability. It is protected by a 5-year guarantee on factory defects. Take special care of it – after all, it is an investment in long-lasting quality – and it will ramp up your kitchen game and reward you with years and years of delight.
