Value and reliability are just two benefits of the new Neptune Slim-Top sink range from Franke. Launched in May as part of the 2013 update to the Franke Pro-Value Range, the Neptune range starts with a competitively-priced single bowl model with the assurance of a 50 year guarantee against manufacturing defect. This Slim-Top sink has a low profile perimeter giving the appearance of an elegant flushmount but with the installation benefits of an inset. With deep recessed drainer detail around the outside, the deep, welded bowls are functional and easy to clean. Two Neptune Slim-Top models, both produced from premium grade stainless steel in Silk finish, are available in one or 1.5 bowl options with the choice of either left or right-handed drainers. The single bowl of the Neptune NEX 211 measures 360 x 420 x 200mm and the 1.5 bowls of the Neptune NEX 251 measure 360 x 420 x 200mm and 167 x 306 x 152mm. Both sinks fit a standard 600mm cabinet. Says Jeanette Ward, communications manager for Franke Low profile sinks are set to be the future trend and Neptune is deliberately pitched at making this look more accessible with its competitive pricing, while being high quality. It fits perfectly with the ethos of style on a budget and gives retailers and developers a versatile model for a range of projects.
