Leading sink manufacturer Franke has released ceramic variants of its popular Maris and Pebel ranges. New for 2013 and ideal for contemporary kitchens, single and one and a half bowl versions are available in gloss black and white finishes. The Franke Maris MRK611 has an expansive 455 x 415mm bowl and is therefore capable of handling even the largest of stockpots. The style is minimalist, with smooth ledges and a flat drainer. Both the single bowl and one-and-a-half bowl options are reversible. The Franke Pebel has proved to be hugely popular in the Franke Fragranite finish and it is anticipated that the new ceramic version will be the same. Like the Maris, both the single bowl and one-and-a-half bowl sinks are reversible and come in gloss white or gloss black.Gentle ridges within the drainer plus large radius corners give this sink a more traditional feel than the Maris. It also has a large bowl, measuring, 450 x 425mm. As with all Franke sinks, the Maris and the Pebel ceramic versions are guaranteed for 50 years against any manufacturing defect.
