BLANCO Performa SILGRANIT 17" Undermount Bar Sink

Compact Undermount Design for Bar and Prep Applications

Enhance your entertaining spaces with the BLANCO Performa 17" Undermount Bar Sink, a compact fixture that brings professional SILGRANIT performance to bar areas, butler's pantries, and secondary prep zones. Engineered from 80% natural quartz sand—the hardest mineral component found in granite formations—this German-manufactured composite sink delivers commercial-grade durability in a space-conscious footprint designed specifically for beverage service and light food preparation. The undermount installation creates seamless countertop integration that showcases premium stone surfaces while eliminating the rim edges where moisture and debris collect in surface-mounted configurations. The 15" x 15.5" basin interior maximizes usable workspace within the compact 17.5" x 17" exterior dimensions, while the generous 9" depth provides ample vertical clearance for glassware, bar tools, and small cookware. The Anthracite finish penetrates the entire composite thickness, maintaining color consistency despite surface wear from daily use.

Professional Bar Performance in Space-Efficient Format

Optimize your secondary kitchen zones with a bar sink that refuses to compromise performance for compact dimensions. The 15" x 15.5" basin comfortably accommodates wine glasses, cocktail shakers, mixing bowls, and small serving pieces, while the 9" depth prevents splashing during glassware rinsing or ice bucket filling. The SILGRANIT composite's non-porous molecular structure resists staining from wine, coffee, and other beverages that permanently mark lesser sink materials, while blocking bacterial colonization and odor absorption without demanding specialized cleaning protocols. The material's thermal tolerance accepts hot water for tea service or cleaning operations without suffering the thermal shock damage that affects temperature-sensitive materials. The undermount configuration allows direct countertop-to-basin wiping, streamlining cleanup in entertaining spaces where efficiency matters. The compact 21" minimum cabinet requirement enables installation in tight spaces where traditional kitchen sinks cannot fit.

Common Questions Answered

What distinguishes the Performa collection from other BLANCO bar sinks?

The Performa collection emphasizes functional efficiency through optimized basin geometry that maximizes usable workspace within compact exterior dimensions. The 15" x 15.5" basin interior represents careful dimensional planning that accommodates standard glassware and bar tools while maintaining the compact 17.5" x 17" footprint necessary for tight installation spaces. This basin-to-exterior ratio optimization proves particularly valuable in bar applications where countertop space commands premium value, as it provides maximum functional capacity without consuming excessive surface area. The collection's undermount-only configuration reflects its design focus on contemporary installations where seamless countertop integration enhances visual appeal. While sharing identical SILGRANIT composite formulation with other BLANCO collections, Performa distinguishes itself through dimensional optimization specifically targeting bar and secondary prep applications rather than primary kitchen sink duties.

How does undermount installation benefit bar and entertaining areas?

Undermount installation delivers particular advantages in bar and entertaining contexts where visual aesthetics and cleanup efficiency directly impact guest experience. The rimless configuration creates uninterrupted countertop surfaces that showcase premium stone materials while projecting sophisticated design sensibility appropriate for entertaining spaces. This seamless integration allows bartenders or hosts to wipe spills, citrus remnants, and other debris directly into the basin without navigating around raised sink edges, accelerating cleanup between drink preparations or during active entertaining. The absence of rim crevices eliminates moisture accumulation points that can harbor bacteria or develop unsightly mineral deposits in high-use bar environments. The undermount design also positions the basin edge slightly below the countertop surface, creating a subtle visual recess that emphasizes the bar area as a dedicated functional zone within open-concept spaces.
