Franke Orca sink pricing

13 years ago

Where's the best place to purchase a Franke Orca sink? Our local appliance places want over $800, and that doesn't include any accessories. From my point of view, there's no point buying a Franke if you're not going to buy at least one shelf.

What about something like a Ticor S113? Same shape without the ledge for the shelves.

Here is a link that might be useful: Ticor S113 link

I just purchased the Franke Orca sink three weeks ago. I paid $594.00. I checked around online and found Luxury Home Outlet had the best price. I then called Faucet Direct and asked if they would match the price if I bought it from them. The gentleman on the phone stated they would sell it to me for that price along with free shipping. It came within 5 days. Prices are going up. Had I bought the Orca two weeks prior I would have paid $564.00. I ordered the bottom shelf and right hand shelf from Sink Pros.The bottom shelf was $115.00 and the little shelf was $70.00. That was the best price I could find for the Stainless Steel grids. I did not want Chrome because they are coated and the coating will get destroyed with hot pots etc. ( just a little tip). Good luck with your search.

Wow! That's a good price. I paid $711 and $81 for the right side grid, form Home Center online in November. I love having the side grill. I got the one without the coating also since I read on GW about the problem of hot pans with the plastic- and I am also putting hot pans on it.
Great sink, btw.

Thanks, Everyone...The links and comments are helpful...and hsw_sc just saved me from uploading the photo of my previous Orca since hers is just like the one I had...and loved. Thanks also for the info on Ticor, a brand I've never seen before. We did our other remodel about 5 years ago, so maybe they are new? Is the Blanco made of silgranite? While searching for info on the Orca look-a-likes, I discovered lots of good comments and pictures of Silgranite. Is it new? Sounds like a possible option, and I'd welcome anyone's experience with that type of sink since it seems a lot less $ than the Orca. I hated to leave that beautiful, remodeled kitchen when we moved! We bought a new home that already had just about everything in it when we first saw it so I didn't get to choose sinks, granite, etc. It sure is easier that way, but I love remodeling, so I am glad to have this little condo kitchen project to keep me busy for awhile : ) Thanks for your comments. Since we are just in the beginning stages of our updating, I'll be checking out the forums a lot!

Franke Orca Sink?
Q
Comments (34)
Background: We're doing a kitchen remodel and need to make some sink decisions. I loved the Franke Orca when I saw it because it seemed really well made and I loved the grid because I thought it will very useful for draining pasta or wash/dry vegetables & fruits. The price seemed steep. In the meanwhile a friend suggested Blanco Silgranit. I liked that too, however I could find good accessories for draining washed vegetables (didn't like the basket). So I'm thinking of going with the Orca even though it is almost double the price. My questions - 1) With the Orca sink, if I use the grid on the right, where should the soap dispenser be. In the pictures and displays I've seen, it is on the right side. But if I'm using the right side shelf, should the soap dispenser be on the left? Because if the soap is the right I'll be wetting the things that are draining/drying on the right shelf? Can people who are using the sink please comment on where you think the soap dispenser should be? 2. Should I get the bottom grid as well? Do you find it useful or is it actually not needed? 3. Any thoughts on Franke Orca Vs. Blanco Silgranit? Thanks much.

I was a bit scared off by a couple of posts here (a few years ago) by people whose upper grids slipped out of place, causing dishes to crash to the bottom in their Orcas. One of them specified owning a fireclay Orca, so perhaps this isn't an issue with the more popular SS. Since no news is good news and no one has responded with this problem, I assume this is really a non-issue and the rack is sturdy enough to handle the weight of scrubbing pots (along with my own weight!). Any thoughts about using the left upper grid with the drain and dishwasher on the left? Wondering why the right grid is so much more popular...

The gentleman I talked to at Faucet Direct told me ," Wow, we are not making one cent on this." I can't wait for it to be installed ( sometime mid May).
