LUMBERTON, N.J., May 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- BLANCO, the German manufacturer of finely crafted sinks and faucets, introduces the BLANCO PRECIS Medium Single with Drainer featuring an integral drainboard for drying dishes or food prep. The new BLANCO PRECIS offers a crisp angular design, durable SILGRANIT II surface and a unique wave-shaped integrated stainless grid that effectively doubles the drying area when the grid sits on the sink's functional ledge.

This reversible, dual mount sink can be undermounted or installed as a top-mount, depending on design preference. And its custom accessories, including drainer grid, colanders and cutting board, create a workstation right on top of the sink. Its compact size is also great for kitchens that are limited on space.

"The new BLANCO PRECIS sink is the ultimate kitchen work area with its elegant, contemporary design and unique integrated features," states Tim Maicher, Director of Marketing for BLANCO. "The design inspiration for this piece really stemmed from the beauty and nonporous nature of BLANCO's proprietary SILGRANIT II material. SILGRANIT II is nearly indestructible and offers an extremely hygienic surface that's both safe and tough for food prep, cleaning and more. It made perfect sense to add a European styled drainboard to the PRECIS design and to create a system of integrated accessories including a grid and cutting board that helps our customers save space and transform the sink into a multi-functional workstation."

The BLANCO PRECIS is available in eight SILGRANIT II colors including the popular Metallic Grey, which is perfectly crafted to complement the styles of today's modern kitchens. Custom-designed accessories including stainless steel mesh colander and drainer grid are included with PRECIS. The optional Beechwood cutting board fits on top of the sink, to slice, dice and wipe food scraps right into the bowl.
