<p>Franke prides themselves on being a leader in product innovation, design and engineering.</p>
<p>Franke, a Swiss company, is the World&#8217;s largest manufacturer of kitchen sinks, and is at the forefront of research and development of new materials and products for the kitchen. Franke was formed in 1911, and currently operates in a number of different markets on a global scale. Franke USA is wholly integrated into the Franke Kitchen System Division.</p>

<p><strong>A GRANDE Idea by Franke</strong></p>
<p>The simplicity of shape, the functionality of a flat surface and the convenience of wide corners for easy cleaning creates the perfect sink.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="http://i1.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/wpid-Photo-Apr-7-2013-1012-AM2.jpg" target="_blank" rel="lightbox[2500]" title="Franke at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center"><img class="alignnone" id="blogsy-1365357664321.131" alt="Franke DIsposer" src="http://i1.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/wpid-Photo-Apr-7-2013-1012-AM2.jpg?resize=241%2C106" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></div>

<p><strong>F A S T E R. F I N E R. G R E E N E R. </strong>The new smarter engineered line of waste disposers from Franke take less time to do the job, grind to septic system compatible level of fineness in ALL models and use less energy. These energy efficient and environmentally friendly waste disposers are superior in every way from price to performance.</p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><strong>Franke Value Offer</strong></div>
<p>Franke has launched a convenient way to experience the luxury of filtered or instant hot water right from the tap. The newly introduced Franke Value Offer combines popular point-of-use faucets with water filtration, a heating tank or both, competitively priced for the ultimate in water quality and shopping simplicity.</p>

<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>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>From fine kitchens to fine baths</h2>
<p> Known for appliances, <a href="http://www.uakc.com" target="_self" title="">Universal Appliance and Kitchen Cente</a>r (<strong>UAKC</strong>) now has beautiful baths and sinks.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wpid-Photo-Dec-15-2012-843-AM.jpg" target="_blank" style="" rel="lightbox[2082]" title="UAKC Baths"><img src="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wpid-Photo-Dec-15-2012-843-AM.jpg?resize=302%2C302" id="blogsy-1355698258351.3777" class="alignnone" alt="Dornbrocht Shower"  data-recalc-dims="1"></a></div>
<p><strong>Dornborcht</strong>. Evolution in the bathroom.</p>
<p>For the first time, HORIZONTAL SHOWER permits showering using the AMBIANCE TUNING TECHNIQUE while reclining. The application combines six WATER BARS recessed into a broad shower field above a reclining space, along with an eTOOL as the main operating element. Just as with VERTICAL SHOWER, with HORIZONTAL SHOWER the user can also choose from among a variety of pre-programmed choreographies, offering a range of settings for water temperature, intensity and quantity. The user can decide from among BALANCING, ENERGIZING or DE-STRESSING effects.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="http://i1.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wpid-Photo-Dec-15-2012-842-AM1.jpg" target="_blank" style="" rel="lightbox[2082]" title="UAKC Baths"><img src="http://i1.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wpid-Photo-Dec-15-2012-842-AM1.jpg?resize=309%2C309" id="blogsy-1355698258408.5935" class="alignnone" alt="Deque"  data-recalc-dims="1"></a></div>
<p>The distinguishing feature of this <strong>Deque</strong> is its severe use of forms, reduced to the flat, wide spout. The new, low fitting lies close to the basin, directing attention to the essential element of this series &#8211; the presentation of the water.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wpid-Photo-Dec-15-2012-842-AM.jpg" target="_blank" style="" rel="lightbox[2082]" title="UAKC Baths"><img src="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wpid-Photo-Dec-15-2012-842-AM.jpg?resize=307%2C230" id="blogsy-1355698258366.3235" class="alignnone" alt="Deque Bath"  data-recalc-dims="1"></a></div>
<p>The striking thing about <strong>Deque</strong> is contrast: firstly between the gentle path of the water and the severe shape of the fitting, and secondly between the emphatically flat spout and the cylindrical control elements, a discontinuity of form that is particularly evident in the single-lever mixer.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wpid-Photo-Dec-16-2012-333-PM.jpg" target="_blank" style="" rel="lightbox[2082]" title="UAKC Baths"><img src="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wpid-Photo-Dec-16-2012-333-PM.jpg?resize=302%2C244" id="blogsy-1355698258336.254" class="alignnone" alt="Kohler Sink"  data-recalc-dims="1"></a></div>
<p>Go bold with <strong>Kohler&#39;s</strong> new collection of sinks created in collaboration with designer Jonathan Adler. The series introduces four special-edition colors available on six enameled cast iron kitchen and bathroom sinks. Available on select sinks in limited quantity, the punchy colors include Greenwich Green, Piccadilly Yellow, Palermo Blue and Annapolis Navy. </p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;"><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wpid-Photo-Dec-15-2012-837-AM.jpg" target="_blank" style="" rel="lightbox[2082]" title="UAKC Baths"><img src="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wpid-Photo-Dec-15-2012-837-AM.jpg?resize=311%2C221" id="blogsy-1355698258391.2375" class="alignnone" alt="Mr. Steam"  data-recalc-dims="1"></a></div>
<p>Sized to fit smaller baths and smaller budgets, the new Steam@Home from <strong>Mr. Steam</strong> offers a compact version of the company’s regular generators. The models, designed for 3-ft. x 4-ft. or 3-ft. x 5-ft. tiled showers and existing acrylic units, feature a 20-minute timer, a polished chrome in-shower control and a cool-to-the-touch AromaSteam steamhead that can hold essential oils.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2> Money saving ideas for bathroom makeovers. </h2>
<p>You&#39;d like to fix up the bathroom, but you just can&#39;t spring for a $25,000 renovation. Here are some ideas to refresh and makeover a bathroom on a budget, and make it look like a million dollars:</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 304px"><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wpid-Photo-Dec-12-2012-1244-PM.jpg" target="_blank" style="" rel="lightbox[2069]" title="6 Easy Bathroom Makeover Ideas"><img src="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wpid-Photo-Dec-12-2012-1244-PM.jpg?resize=294%2C220" id="blogsy-1355343665912.0176" class="alignnone" alt="Bath renovation before"  data-recalc-dims="1"></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Before</p></div>
<p>1. <strong>Paint an accent wall</strong>. You can change the entire look of your bathroom with a paintbrush. Introduce color into a drab bathroom and the room looks fresh and modern.</p>
<p>2.<strong> Add a backsplash. </strong>Add interest behind the vanity area with a beautiful blackspash.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Refinish the vanity cabinets</strong>. Introduce color and contrast into your bathroom with refinished cabinets. Often a coat of paint and new hardware can make it look like a new room.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Change out the vanity mirror</strong>. Replace that large frameless mirror with a picture frame mirror (or two if you have a double vanity.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Change the light fixtures. </strong>The old hollywood bar fixture (above) makes the bathroom look dated. A new fixture is an inexpensive way to remake the bathroom and add to the value of your home.</p>
<p>6. <strong>Replace the sink or sinks. </strong>Sometimes vanity sinks can be replaced without replacing the countertops. Attractive and colorful vessels and sinks provide a pleasant change of pace.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 304px"><a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wpid-Photo-Dec-12-2012-1245-PM.jpg" target="_blank" style="" rel="lightbox[2069]" title="6 Easy Bathroom Makeover Ideas"><img src="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wpid-Photo-Dec-12-2012-1245-PM.jpg?resize=294%2C220" id="blogsy-1355343665985.412" class="alignnone" alt="Bath Renovation After"  data-recalc-dims="1"></a><p class="wp-caption-text">After</p></div>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Choosing a new sink can be a daunting task because there are so many decisions to make. Here are a few tips to help organize your thoughts. </p>
<ol>
<li>Sinks are often categorized by <strong>mounting method</strong>. Sinks can be topmount, undermount, wallmount, or universalmount. </li>
<li>You will also need to decide what <strong>style</strong> of sink you want. A Farmhouse or apron front sink has a unique style and is often a large single bowl. Some round sinks sit on top of the counter and look great in a vanity&#8217;s modern decor.<br />
<a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/20120606-111333.jpg" rel="lightbox[1183]" title="Five tips on choosing a new sink"><img src="http://i0.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/20120606-111333.jpg" alt="20120606-111333.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><a href="http://i1.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/20120606-113120.jpg" rel="lightbox[1183]" title="Five tips on choosing a new sink"><img src="http://i1.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/20120606-113120.jpg" alt="20120606-113120.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></li>
<li>There are a host of <strong>materials</strong> to choose from in selecting a sink. The two most common materials are stainless steel and porcelain, but composite materials are very durable and also a good choice.
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/20120606-111716.jpg" rel="lightbox[1183]" title="Five tips on choosing a new sink"><img src="http://i1.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/20120606-111716.jpg" alt="20120606-111716.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>

<li><strong>Bowls </strong>can be single or double. Double bowls may be equal or unequal. Unequal sinks may have the smaller bowl on either the right or the left. Bowl depths also vary.<br />
<a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/20120606-112836.jpg" rel="lightbox[1183]" title="Five tips on choosing a new sink"><img src="http://i2.wp.com/www.uakc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/20120606-112836.jpg" alt="20120606-112836.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></li>
<li>The <strong>size</strong> or width of the sink may vary from a small 12&#8243; single prep sink, to a big 45&#8243; Farmhouse sink, with common sizes being 30-36&#8243;.</li>

				<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>
