BLANCO Ikon SILGRANIT 33" Single Bowl Apron-Front Farmhouse Sink

Classic Farmhouse Design with Contemporary Materials

Embrace timeless farmhouse aesthetics with the BLANCO Ikon 33" Single Bowl, a sink that pairs traditional apron-front styling with advanced SILGRANIT composite engineering. Constructed from 80% natural quartz sand—the mineral foundation that gives granite its legendary hardness—this German-manufactured sink features the distinctive angled apron-front profile that defines the Ikon collection while delivering modern performance capabilities. The expansive 29.31" x 15.31" basin interior provides uninterrupted workspace that accommodates the largest cookware, commercial baking sheets, and oversized serving platters 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 for serious cooking and entertaining. 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.

Unobstructed Basin Capacity for Serious Cooking

Maximize your kitchen efficiency with a single expansive basin that eliminates the workspace compromises inherent in divided sink configurations. The 29.31" interior length easily handles commercial half-sheet pans, oversized roasting pans, and large stockpots that cannot fit in divided sinks regardless of bowl split ratios. 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 33" single bowl compare to the 33" low divide configuration?

The 33" single bowl provides completely unobstructed workspace from front to back, eliminating even the low divide that separates basins in the dual-bowl configuration. This uninterrupted 29.31" interior length proves particularly valuable when washing extremely large items like turkey roasters or commercial-size sheet pans that benefit from the ability to lay flat in the basin without any divider interference. The single bowl also simplifies cleaning the sink itself, as there's no divider surface to wipe around or crevice where the divider meets the basin floor. However, the low divide configuration offers organizational advantages for those who prefer to separate clean and dirty items or maintain dedicated zones for washing and food prep, while still accommodating oversized items that can span both basins when needed. The choice primarily reflects workflow preference—single bowl for maximum unobstructed capacity, low divide for organizational flexibility.

What structural support requirements apply to 33" farmhouse installation?

The 33" farmhouse installation requires substantial cabinet support to accommodate the 53-pound sink weight in a cantilevered configuration where the apron extends beyond the cabinet face. The cabinet must be cut back to the 29.55" x 15.55" cutout dimensions, with the front rail removed to allow the apron to sit flush with the cabinet face frame. Professional installers typically add reinforced blocking or support rails attached to the cabinet sides, distributing the sink weight across multiple contact points rather than relying solely on the cabinet bottom. The support structure must account for the additional weight of water and dishes during use, which can add 50-100 pounds to the static sink weight. The 36" minimum cabinet requirement ensures adequate width for proper support distribution, though the actual support system extends beyond simple cabinet sizing to include proper blocking placement and secure fastening to cabinet framework that can handle long-term load-bearing requirements.
