Franke Sissons 355mm Round Inset Sink Bowl Stainless Steel

This is a single round inset sink bowl from Franke Sissons, designed to be let into a fabricated or solid worktop surface. It is manufactured from grade 304 stainless steel with a satin polish finish and features a rimmed edge that seats cleanly against the worktop aperture. The bowl comes prepared for a 32mm waste outlet and overflow connection. No tap holes are included, so taps must be fed through the worktop itself or sourced as wall-mounted fittings — worth factoring in during the planning stage.

In a commercial setting, this type of bowl is commonly used at hand-wash stations, small preparation sinks, and bar or pass areas where a compact, flush-fitted sink is needed without a full sink unit. The rimmed inset design gives a neat, hygienic finish and makes it straightforward to wipe down the surrounding worktop without obstruction.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Grade 304 stainless steel construction — durable and resistant to corrosion in food-contact environments
• Rimmed edge design seats securely into a worktop cut-out for a stable, flush fit
• Satin polish finish is easy to clean and hides surface scuffs in daily use
• No tap holes reduces risk of leaks at the bowl and keeps the installation tidy
• Compact footprint suits counter runs where space is limited

Installation requires a correctly sized cut-out in the worktop and a 32mm waste outlet connection beneath. Because no tap holes are provided, the water supply arrangement needs to be considered before the worktop is fabricated — retrofitting can be awkward once the counter is in place. The bowl itself is relatively lightweight, which makes handling straightforward during a fit-out.

This bowl suits smaller commercial kitchens, café counters, bar areas, and staff welfare facilities where a neat, practical inset sink point is needed rather than a full sink station. It is a single-bowl format, so operations requiring higher-throughput or multi-bowl washing capacity may be better served by a larger or twin-bowl alternative.

If you are unsure whether this bowl suits your worktop material, waste configuration, or tap arrangement, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
