Platform about design and technology in the kitchen, home, and bathroom industry
In every professional kitchen, stainless steel plays a starring role. This is for good reason. Besides being easy to use and maintain, durable and hygienic, this material is also stylish, tough and sleek. Franke has the craftsmanship and years of experience to create custom stainless steel worktops, backsplashes, storage systems and skirting boards. The result is a complete package of custom stainless steel worktops, with which you can also work and cook at a high level at home.
The possibilities in stainless steel are endless. Within the Stainless Steel Creations® program you will find set tops with a wood undergluing for reinforcement; the edge thickness of 20 to 100 mm provides an optically robust look. You can also choose solid stainless steel worktops in 4 or 8 mm. Stainless steel is always a sustainable choice, as worktops 100% are recyclable.
Stainless steel offers the possibility of seamlessly welding in sinks, and cooktop applications for flush-mounted or surface-mounted can be processed without problems, forming a perfect whole with the worktop. This not only provides a sleek design, it is also practical and hygienic. With the various options in finish, edge trim, stainless steel plinths and walls, Franke offers a complete customization package to make individual ideas come true to suit any kitchen style.
There are several exclusive finishes to choose from, all with their own look and feel. Brushed: This gives the smooth stainless steel surface a satin shine or Orbital: In this finish, the stainless steel is worked with a directionless grinding structure and this gives a matting effect. Usage scratches and fingerprints are not easily visible with this finish. Hot rolled is the purest form of stainless steel. Small irregularities in color and structure are characteristic of the material. If you choose an 8 mm stainless steel worktop, the following finishes are possible: Pearl Finish, Crystal Finish, Diamond Finish, these are finishes based on the Nature finish (hot rolled) with an additional processing for more scratch resistance and less susceptible to fingerprints. New to the program for 8 mm sheets is Cross Finish. Cross Finish is a finish where the worktop is brushed both lengthwise and widthwise. This gives the worktop a beautiful woven linen texture.
