The BLANCO IKON is the world's first apron-front sink made of natural granite composite, sILGRANIT, our patented, certified granite composite material that is engineered to take on the toughest kitchen tasks. SILGRANIT is heat, scratch, stain, chip, and impact-resistant, making it stronger and more durable than other sink materials. It will not blister, burn, melt, or discolor from hot pots, pans, or baking sheets straight from the oven. Beautiful and highly functional with its non-porous, hygienic surface, it pushes away liquids and residue resulting in low maintenance, easy to clean, long-lasting material. Included with the sink is the IKON FLOATING CUTTING BOARD, which will allow you to tackle food preparation with ease. Designed to fit right on your sink, the cutting board can stand up to whatever you're cutting, chopping, dicing, and slicing. When used within the sink, it creates an entirely new working space for food prep. You can now chop and dice all of your favorite foods right on top of your sink and easily wipe the excess into the bowl below. With its slightly angled apron design, the IKON will add a bold, architectural element to your kitchen.
