ᐅ Experiences with Silgranit by Blanco

Since August, we have had a Silgranit sink in the color "Café" and are very impressed so far because the sink is very easy to maintain and water practically beads off like a non-stick coating.

We bought the sink based on my mom’s recommendation, who has had a sink in "rock gray" for several years that still looks like new.

We have a Silgranit sink plus a Silgranit faucet in anthracite (also an anthracite countertop) and chose this because the previous stainless steel kitchen, which was just one year old, was already worn out (not ideal…). My father has had a light-colored Silgranit sink for 20 years. Even if the light version discolors over time, a dishwasher cleaning tablet can restore it to like-new condition overnight.

As another user already mentioned, I recommend choosing a simple design with as few edges and corners as possible. Silgranit is very low-maintenance and even looks better unused than a stainless steel sink. We do not put hot pots directly on the Silgranit—either on a trivet or after rinsing briefly.

By the way, these sinks are widely available online if you want to install them yourself.

Here is a picture without any cleaning (I just briefly removed the wet sponge).

I have a black Blanco sink with a matching faucet (which includes a fully extendable hose, so it looks like a faucet but also functions as a spray head). It sits flush and looks great in the compatible countertop. We have only one large basin, but it is big enough to fit a baking tray without needing an additional draining area. We have been happy with it for almost two years now, and cleaning is easy. Even the stainless steel drain, when cleaned with the appropriate cleaner every six months, still looks almost like new.

We also have one from Blanko, in anthracite or a dark gray. I really like it! It’s much easier to keep clean, significantly better than the stainless steel drain and stopper. My mother-in-law has a light-colored one, which is much more sensitive. I also don’t find it as visually appealing as ours, so it’s not an option anyway.
For the kitchen we are planning in the new house, I would choose the same one again.
