Blanco Kitchen Sinks at Bella Bathrooms
Blanco is a German-engineered kitchen sink brand with over 95 years of expertise in designing and manufacturing premium sinks, mixer taps, and waste management systems. Renowned worldwide for precision engineering and innovative materials, Blanco products are available at Bella Bathrooms in Kramerville, Johannesburg — bringing German quality to South African kitchens.
German Engineering, Built to Last
What sets Blanco apart is an unwavering commitment to material innovation. The brand's proprietary Silgranit composite is up to 80% natural granite, making it exceptionally hard-wearing, scratch-resistant, and heat-resistant up to 280 degrees Celsius. Silgranit sinks also feature a hygienic surface that actively repels dirt and bacteria, keeping your kitchen sink cleaner with less effort. For those who prefer stainless steel, Blanco's steel sinks are crafted from high-grade materials with sound-dampening technology for a quieter kitchen experience.

The Blanco range at Bella Bathrooms includes undermount, drop-in, and flush-mount installation options across single and double bowl configurations. Whether you need a large single bowl for washing oversized pots and baking trays, or a versatile one-and-a-half bowl layout with an integrated drainer, Blanco has a model to match your kitchen workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Blanco's Silgranit and stainless steel sinks?
Silgranit is Blanco's proprietary composite made from roughly 80 percent natural granite bonded into an acrylic matrix, giving you a sink that resists scratches, heat up to 280 degrees Celsius, staining from coffee, wine, and turmeric, and the chips that can affect cast-iron alternatives. Stainless steel sinks remain the lighter, brighter, and traditionally specified option, with the satin or brushed finish hiding daily marks well. Both undermount and inset configurations are stocked. The SubLine 350 and Sona ranges are Silgranit; the Linus-S mixer family pairs with either.
What colour options does Silgranit come in?
Blanco's South African Silgranit range carries the core colourway palette including Black, Anthracite, Cafe, Alumetallic, White, and Tartufo, with the most popular being Black and Anthracite for modern kitchens and White for traditional schemes. The colour is consistent through the body of the sink, not surface-applied, which means a deep scratch or chip does not reveal a different tone underneath. We keep Black, Anthracite, and White visible at the Kramerville showroom so you can compare them under real kitchen lighting against your tile and cabinet samples.
Will Blanco mixers work on South African water pressure?
Yes. The Linus-S and the broader Blanco kitchen mixer range are engineered for the 1 to 5 bar pressure band common to South African domestic supply, with cartridges and aerators tuned to deliver a smooth flow across that range. The mixers ship with the 3/8 inch flexi hose connections needed to tie into standard 15mm copper inlets. For homes on a gravity-fed roof tank delivering below 1 bar, flag this when ordering so we can confirm performance or recommend a higher-flow alternative.
How is the Silgranit surface cleaned and maintained?
Daily care is a warm soapy water wipe with a soft cloth, then dry to prevent water marks on darker colourways. Blanco supplies a dedicated Silgranit care product for monthly maintenance, which lifts dried mineral residue from hard water and refreshes the colour. Avoid harsh oven cleaners, undiluted bleach, and abrasive scouring powders on the surface. Limescale removal is best done with a vinegar-and-water mix rather than commercial descalers. With routine care, Silgranit holds its colour and texture for the life of the kitchen.
What warranty does Blanco offer locally?
Blanco sinks and mixers carry full manufacturer warranty support against material and manufacturing defects in normal residential use, administered through the South African distributor. Silgranit sink bodies are covered for a particularly long term given the proven durability of the material, and mixer cartridges are supported separately. Damage from abrasive cleaners, hot pans placed directly on the surface above the rated temperature, and installation errors sits outside cover. Bella Bathrooms & Tiles retains your purchase records and handles any claim directly with Blanco on your behalf.
