BLANCO Ikon SILGRANIT 30" Single Bowl Apron-Front Farmhouse Sink

Mid-Size Farmhouse Design Balances Capacity and Footprint

Bridge the gap between compact and full-size farmhouse sinks with the BLANCO Ikon 30" Single Bowl, a sink that delivers substantial workspace in a footprint suited for mid-range cabinet configurations. Constructed from 80% natural quartz sand—the mineral foundation that gives granite its legendary hardness—this German-engineered SILGRANIT composite sink features the distinctive angled apron-front profile that defines the Ikon collection while requiring only a 33" base cabinet. The generous 26.31" x 15.31" basin interior provides uninterrupted workspace that accommodates standard cookware, mixing bowls, and most baking sheets without the divider constraints found in multi-bowl configurations. The 9.25" basin depth offers substantial vertical clearance for washing tall items or stacking dishes, while the single bowl design maximizes usable capacity within the mid-size footprint. The angled apron face adds architectural dimension to cabinetry while bringing the sink edge closer to your body, reducing the forward reach required during washing and food preparation tasks.

Optimized Dimensions for Versatile Kitchen Layouts

Maximize your mid-size cabinet's functionality with basin dimensions that provide substantial capacity without requiring the 36" cabinet footprint of full-size farmhouse sinks. The 26.31" interior length accommodates standard dinner plates, mixing bowls, and everyday cookware, while the 15.31" width provides adequate side-to-side clearance for maneuvering items during washing. The SILGRANIT composite's non-porous molecular architecture prevents liquid absorption, bacterial colonization, and odor development without requiring specialized cleaning protocols. The material's thermal stability accepts hot cookware transferred directly from active cooking surfaces without suffering warping or discoloration that affects temperature-sensitive materials. The smooth composite finish releases food residues and utensil marks through routine cleaning, maintaining visual appeal across the entire farmhouse surface including the distinctive angled apron front. The ergonomic apron-front installation eliminates countertop overhang, allowing you to stand closer and reducing the physical strain associated with extended cooking sessions.

Common Questions Answered

How does the 30" size compare to 27" and 33" farmhouse configurations?

The 30" length represents an optimal middle ground between the compact 27" and full-size 33" farmhouse configurations, providing substantially more basin capacity than the 27" while fitting in cabinets where 33" sinks cannot. The 26.31" interior basin length accommodates larger cookware and baking sheets than the 27" model's 23.31" interior, including standard 9x13" baking dishes and most mixing bowls, while still fitting within a 33" cabinet compared to the 36" requirement for full-size models. This three-inch cabinet difference proves significant in kitchen layouts where space constraints prevent 36" cabinet installation but 33" cabinets fit comfortably. The 30" size particularly suits galley kitchens, smaller homes, or secondary kitchen installations where farmhouse aesthetics are desired but full-size dimensions exceed available space.

What weight considerations apply to 30" farmhouse installation?

The 30" farmhouse sink's 47-pound weight represents a moderate reduction from the 53-pound full-size model, simplifying support requirements while still necessitating proper cabinet reinforcement. The reduced weight and shorter 26.55" cutout length allow for slightly less extensive blocking compared to full-size installations, though professional installation remains advisable to ensure proper weight distribution. The cabinet must still be cut back to accommodate the apron-front design, with the front rail removed and support structure added to handle the cantilevered load. The 33" minimum cabinet requirement provides adequate width for proper support distribution, with blocking or support rails attached to cabinet sides distributing the sink weight plus the additional load from water and dishes during use. The reduced dimensions also mean less overall material mass, potentially simplifying the physical installation process compared to maneuvering larger farmhouse sinks into position.
