BLANCO Formera 28" Single Bowl Undermount Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink

Contemporary Design for Everyday Kitchen Performance

Elevate your kitchen with the BLANCO FORMERA, a 28" single bowl undermount stainless steel kitchen sink that combines German engineering expertise with contemporary design philosophy. This versatile kitchen sink features carefully calculated 30mm radius corners that create smooth, flowing transitions between the basin walls and floor, simplifying maintenance while preserving generous workspace. The 18-gauge premium stainless steel construction provides exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, while the spacious 26" x 16" interior basin accommodates large cookware, baking sheets, and roasting pans with ease. The 9" basin depth offers substantial capacity for washing dishes and food preparation tasks, while the undermount installation creates seamless countertop integration that simplifies cleanup and enhances visual appeal. The rear-positioned drain maximizes under-sink storage capacity, allowing more flexible placement of garbage disposals and storage solutions.

Optimized Storage Through Intelligent Drain Placement

Experience the practical advantages of rear-positioned drain design that maximizes usable cabinet space beneath the sink. By positioning the drain toward the back of the basin rather than center, this configuration creates more accessible storage area in the front portion of the cabinet, allowing you to install larger garbage disposals, water filtration systems, or storage organizers without spatial conflicts. The pre-installed sound dampening pads significantly reduce operational noise during use, creating a quieter kitchen environment that's particularly valuable in open-concept homes. These factory-applied acoustic pads are strategically positioned to absorb vibration at critical stress points throughout the basin, minimizing the metallic resonance typically associated with stainless steel sinks.

Common Questions Answered

What advantages does rear-positioned drain placement provide?

Rear-positioned drain placement delivers significant practical advantages for under-sink organization and storage optimization. By moving the drain toward the back of the cabinet rather than positioning it centrally, this configuration creates substantially more accessible storage space in the front portion of the cabinet where you're most likely to reach frequently. This layout allows for easier installation of larger garbage disposals without interfering with storage containers or cleaning supplies stored in front. The rear placement also provides more flexibility for installing water filtration systems, soap dispensers, and other under-sink accessories, as the plumbing connections are concentrated in the back area rather than occupying prime central space. For households that rely on under-sink storage for cleaning supplies, trash bags, and kitchen essentials, this drain positioning can effectively increase usable storage capacity by 20-30% compared to center-drain configurations.

How do 30mm radius corners enhance sink functionality?

The 30mm radius corners represent a thoughtful balance between ease of maintenance and basin capacity, creating smooth transitions that are significantly easier to clean than sharp corners while preserving more usable workspace than traditional large-radius designs. These moderately radiused corners allow you to reach into all areas of the basin with standard cleaning tools, sponges, and cloths without the difficulty of accessing tight angles, reducing the time and effort required for routine maintenance. The smooth curves also reduce stress concentration points in the stainless steel, contributing to long-term structural integrity and resistance to cracking or deformation. At the same time, the 30mm radius maintains substantially more corner capacity than sinks with 50mm or larger radii, ensuring the 26" x 16" basin dimensions translate into maximum usable workspace for washing large items and positioning accessories like dish racks and cutting boards.
