LUMBERTON, NJ, February 2020 – BLANCO is elevating kitchen ergonomics with its new IKON® 33” Apron 1-3/4 Bowl with Low Divide sink. Designed to make prepping, cooking and cleaning a more seamless and comfortable experience for all users, IKON® is the world’s first apron front sink made of SILGRANIT®, BLANCO’s patented granite composite material available in eight trending colors.
IKON - New 33” 1-3/4 Farmhouse Sink with Low Divide
Apron front masterpiece defined
“When you break it down, the sink is the most used area in the kitchen by everyone in the household,” notes Tim Maicher, Director/Head of Product Management for BLANCO North America. “By offering optional accessories with design details that include the low divide and apron front, we created a system that not only accommodates all users but enhances the workflow.”
Optional accessories include a Floating Grid that provides an extra level within the sink. The extra level created by the Floating Grid eases the strain of placing a heavy pot into the sink while also creating another space to place a bowl of prepped ingredients. It can also be used as trivet on the countertop for placing hot cookware. A Floating Cutting Board that fits right on top of the sink instantly creates another workspace beyond the countertop while also making it easy to scrape chopped ingredients into a bowl placed below it. Additional accessories for the IKON 33” Apron 1-3/4 Low Divide include Small and Large Grids, a 3-in-1 Basket Strainer and a 3-in-1 Disposal Flange.
“Not only do these sinks enhance comfort, productivity and efficiency with their ergonomic design features, they are also beautiful statement pieces available in a range of on-trend colors constructed with our extraordinarily durable and easy to clean SILGRANIT® material,” says Maicher.
In addition to the 1-3/4 Low Divide, the IKON® series includes 30” and 33” apron single bowls along with a 27” farmhouse option for smaller spaces. Available color options include Anthracite, Biscuit, Café Brown, Cinder, Metallic Gray, Truffle, White and Concrete Gray.
