Kitchen sinks and faucets are the silent heroes on the front lines of keeping a home clean and safe—used continuously for food preparation, hand, and dishwashing. Previously overlooked, these fundamental fixtures have an important role to play, delivering thoughtful options that enhance everyday life in the kitchen.

For over 35 years, BLANCO has perfected its patented SILGRANIT^® sink material. This advanced granite composite is food-safe, easy-to-clean, and works to help reduce bacterial growth. The non-porous surface offers a smooth stone-like finish but is resistant to stains, scratches, chips, acid and heat. BLANCO’s proprietary Hygiene+Plus surface acts as a shield against dirt and bacteria while reducing bacterial growth by up to 98 percent. SILGRANIT doesn’t require harsh chemicals to keep clean – just soap and water or baking soda, since the hydrophobic surface pushes away dirt and water so it easily drains away.

A hygienic sink is only one half of the story as stylish hands-free faucets with innovative features like the BLANCO SOLENTA Senso help to limit touchpoints where contaminants can take hold. SOLENTA Senso’s sophisticated start-stop technology, easy-to-clean closed coil, and dual spray create the ultimate hands-free experience.
