Large sink
Great sink. Very spacious. 1/3 sink just big enough for your cutlery and maybe scrubbing brush. Otherwise very happy with the product!

At a glance
The Franke Planar 1&1/3 Bowl is a premium stainless steel double bowl sink designed for households that want more flexibility for washing, rinsing and food prep. Its durable 18/10 stainless steel build, quietening insulation and roomy main bowl make it a strong choice for busy kitchens. The main limitation is that it has no tap holes, so mixer placement must be planned in the benchtop or wall.

Things to consider
This bowl-only sink has no tap holes, so it offers less plug-and-play convenience than sinks with integrated tap mounting.
Family suitability
Well suited to families and multi-person households thanks to its double bowl layout and generous main bowl capacity.
Ease of cleaning score
8/10 - stainless steel is straightforward to wipe down, though the double bowl and drainer layout add more edges than a single bowl sink.
Apartment vs house fit
Best suited to houses or larger apartment kitchens with an 80 cm cabinet and enough bench space for the drainer layout.
Noise reduction rating
8/10 - sound deadening pads and bowl insulation help keep operation quieter than basic stainless steel sinks.
Durability vs category average
9/10 - 18/10 stainless steel construction and a 50 year warranty place it above many standard category options.
Key benefits
- Double Bowl Design: Lets you separate washing, rinsing and food prep tasks more easily in a busy kitchen.
- 36 L Main Bowl: Gives you generous space for larger pots, pans and everyday dish loads.
- 10 L Secondary Bowl: Provides a handy extra zone for rinsing vegetables or keeping prep separate from dirty dishes.
- 18/10 Stainless Steel Construction: Offers strong corrosion resistance and a durable finish suited to long-term kitchen use.
- Sound Deadening Pads: Helps reduce the sharp noise of water flow and dish contact during use.
- Franke Bowl Insulation: Adds extra noise control for a quieter sink experience.
- Flexible Mounting: Supports more installation freedom to suit different kitchen designs.
- 50 Year Manufacturer Warranty: Provides long-term confidence for buyers planning a lasting kitchen upgrade.
Q: Will this sink fit a standard 80cm sink cabinet?
A: Yes. This sink is designed to suit an 80cm cabinet, so it is aimed at larger sink bases rather than compact units. Check the benchtop cut-out and the left side drainer layout before replacing a smaller or different sink shape.
Q: Does the Franke Planar sink have tap holes built in?
A: No. Franke Planar PZX260R-SBL has no tap holes, so the mixer and any separate accessories need to be mounted in the benchtop or on the wall. That suits custom tap placement, but it is not a sink-mounted tap design.
Q: Is the left side drainer fixed on this model?
A: Yes. This version has a left side drainer configuration, so the draining area sits to the left of the bowls. That matters for kitchen workflow and benchtop cut-out planning, because it is not a reversible left or right layout.
Q: What is the smaller bowl actually useful for day to day?
A: The second bowl holds 10L, which suits quick rinsing jobs such as vegetables, utensils or separating prep from washing up. It is useful for multitasking, but it is much smaller than the main bowl and not intended for large pots.
Q: What comes with the waste connection for this sink?
A: A manual waste kit is supplied, including a 3 1/2 inch outlet for waste connection. That means the sink comes with the basic waste hardware, but tapware and benchtop-mounted accessories are separate because the sink has no tap holes.
Q: How quiet is this stainless steel sink in normal use?
A: This sink includes sound deadening pads and Franke bowl insulation to reduce the sharper metal noise common with stainless steel sinks. It is designed for quieter washing up, but it will not be silent when heavy cookware is set into the bowl.
