<p><strong> Franke Centennial Sink</strong></p>
<p>When you think about a ‘Traditional’ Kitchen you are envisioning what still remains the most popular design in the US today. Each detail is a tribute to traditions and treasures passed down from one generation to the next. This kitchen displays a sense of history and fundamentally portrays a luxurious elegance.</p>
<p>The Centennial is the very first Franke sink that was conceptually designed from beginning to end in the United States, yet still manufactured in Aarburg, Switzerland. The purpose was to capture the essence of the US home owner. In our Centennial year it is only fitting that we commemorate the classic ‘D-bowl’, with a redefinition of this traditionally styled bowl.</p>

If you&#8217;re replacing an old dishwasher, consider replacing the disposer at the same time. It makes sense, since they likely were both installed at the same originally.  If you wind up replacing a disposer a few months after you&#8217;ve replaced the dishwasher, you&#8217;ll kick yourself for not taking this advice.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll only pay one trip charge if you replace the disposer and dishwasher at the same time, and the installation will be straightforward because the installer is already working under the sink, and making a connection to the disposer when installing the dishwasher.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Celebrating 100 years, Franke introduces the Centennial sink, the company’s first sink system conceived and designed from start to finish in the United States. The shape of the sink is designed to evoke sterling silver service pieces with its curved perimeter tapering to an ample-sized bowl. Optional accessories include heavy-duty bottom and top grids and a Iroko wood cutting board with a symmetrical shape, making it reversible for left- or right-hand use. Franke is also planning to release a coordinating Centennial faucet.            </p>
