Franke Projectline
Projectline is the contract end of the Franke sink catalogue, and Franke files it under its Project range rather than with the designer sinks. Three items are stocked here: a single bowl inset sink, a double bowl inset sink and the matching Projectline single lever sink mixer. It is the range specified where the same kitchen is being built ten or a hundred times over. The full brand sits under Franke.
The Two Sinks
The PLN611 is the single bowl at 800x460mm, with a 340x370mm bowl 140mm deep and a 780x440mm cut-out. The PLN621 is the double bowl at 1160x460mm, using the same 340x370x140mm bowl twice, on a 1140x440mm cut-out. Both are pressed with monoblock tooling, which Franke specifies for strength and hygiene because it keeps welded seams out of the wet area, and both are inset sinks, so they sit with the rest of the Franke drop-in sinks.
The Matching Mixer
The Projectline single lever sink mixer is listed here alongside the sinks, which is unusual for a range page and useful if you are pricing a kitchen as one line rather than three. Franke introduced it as part of a sink mixer group that also includes the Highrise and Enix Square models, and it is ordered separately from the sink. The rest of the tap choice is on Franke kitchen mixers.
Specifying Projectline
Franke supplies these sinks with 38mm PVC waste fittings and plugs, which is the same outlet used on the Trendline drop-on range, so a site standardising on one trap size can run both. The 460mm width and the published cut-out figures are the two numbers to hand a fabricator, and because both sinks share a bowl size the joinery detail changes very little between the single and the double.
One thing to weigh before specifying at volume: Franke's written specification for Projectline calls for stainless steel with a satin finish, without naming the austenitic grade it does specify on Quinline and Cascade for high corrosion coastal areas. For a coastal project that is worth checking with us against the current data sheet, or compare Franke Quinline and the wider Franke kitchen sinks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are the Franke Projectline sinks?
Two. The PLN611 single bowl is 800x460mm with a 340x370mm bowl 140mm deep, taking a 780x440mm cut-out. The PLN621 double bowl is 1160x460mm, using that same bowl size twice, and takes a 1140x440mm cut-out. The 460mm width is narrower than Franke's Quinline and Cascade ranges at 500mm, which matters when the range is going into shallower contract joinery.
What makes Projectline a contract range rather than a domestic one?
It is built for volume rather than for display. Franke groups Projectline in its Project range with Nouveau, specifies a plain satin stainless finish, and supplies it with a 38mm PVC waste fitting and plug rather than a basket strainer. The bowl size is shared between the single and the double, so tooling and joinery detail stay simple and repeatable across a development. It is a sound sink stripped of the finish work a designer range carries.
Does the Projectline sink come with a waste fitting?
Franke specifies Projectline sinks complete with 38mm PVC waste fittings and plugs. That is the same outlet size used on the Trendline drop-on sinks, so a site standardising on one trap size can carry both ranges without holding two sets of fittings. Check the individual listing to confirm what is packed, and order traps and connections at the same time.
Is the Projectline sink mixer sold with the sink?
No, it is a separate item, and it is listed on this page because it carries the Projectline name rather than because it ships with the sink. Franke introduced it as part of a sink mixer group alongside the Highrise and Enix Square models. If you are pricing a kitchen as a package, add the mixer, the waste fitting and the trap to the sink line rather than assuming any of them are included.
Is Projectline suitable for a coastal project?
Check it with us first. Franke's written specification for Projectline calls for stainless steel with a satin finish, but does not name the austenitic grade that it does specify on the Quinline and Cascade ranges for high corrosion coastal areas. For an inland development that is unlikely to matter. For a building near the sea, ask us to confirm the current material data before the order is placed at volume.
