At Taps UK, our Blanco range brings together elegant design, high performance, and long-term value for your kitchen. From stainless steel sinks to Silgranit composite models, and kitchen taps available in multiple finishes and colours, Blanco offers functional, stylish options to suit every kitchen design.

What materials are Blanco sinks made from?

Blanco sinks are crafted from stainless steel and Silgranit, combining durability, hygiene, and long-lasting performance.

What is Silgranit and why is it popular?

Silgranit is a granite composite material that’s highly resistant to scratches, stains, and heat, offering a stylish and low-maintenance option.

Do Blanco sinks fade or stain over time?

No. Both Silgranit and stainless steel are non-porous, meaning they won’t fade, stain, or discolour even after years of use

How do I clean a Blanco sink?

Clean regularly using a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh cleaners. Silgranit only needs simple daily wiping.

Do Blanco sinks come with a warranty?

Yes. All Blanco sinks sold by Taps UK include a manufacturer’s warranty covering material and workmanship defects.

Durable Materials and Stylish Finishes

Stainless steel and Silgranit sinks


Blanco’s stainless steel sinks remain a classic choice for everyday kitchens. They’re durable, corrosion-resistant, and easy to keep clean. The finish suits both modern and traditional spaces, offering a clean and professional look.


For customers wanting something different, Silgranit offers a standout option. This patented granite composite material is made from up to 80% quartz sand, creating a hard, dense surface that performs exceptionally well in busy kitchens.

Key features of Silgranit:

  • Scratch-resistant and heat-resistant surface

  • Non-porous material prevents stains and dirt build-up

  • Colour-fast design — the pigment runs through the entire structure

  • Low maintenance — no sealing required and simple to clean with a damp cloth

  • Durable and hygienic for long-term use


Because the colour runs through the entire material, even small marks or chips are far less noticeable than on coated alternatives. Silgranit sinks are available in a range of modern tones, allowing customers to match or contrast with their kitchen décor.

Blanco Mixer Taps in Every Finish and Colour

At Taps UK, we offer a range of Blanco kitchen mixer taps designed to complement both stainless steel and Silgranit sinks. Each tap combines ergonomic control, precise water flow, and finishes that coordinate across kitchen styles.


Common tap finishes include:


  • Chrome – classic, bright, and timeless

  • Brushed steel – soft sheen, reduces visible fingerprints

  • Black – bold and modern, perfect for statement kitchens

  • Colour-matched finishes – designed to coordinate with Silgranit sinks


Our Blanco tap collection focuses on standard mixer taps, ideal for everyday use while maintaining visual consistency with Blanco’s sink range.


Examples from our selection include:

By offering a consistent palette of finishes and styles, Blanco makes it easy for you to create a coordinated kitchen design without overcomplicating choices.

Buying and Maintenance Tips for Blanco Products

Buying tips


When buying Blanco sinks or taps, keep these key points in mind:


  • Cabinet size: Check the minimum cabinet width needed for the chosen sink.

  • Tap clearance: Make sure there’s enough space behind the sink for the handle to move freely.

  • Spout height and reach: Choose a size that suits your sink depth and bowl layout.

  • Water pressure: Blanco mixer taps are suitable for most UK systems, but confirm the minimum pressure requirement.

  • Matching finishes: Decide early if you want the tap to match the sink or act as a visual contrast.

  • Installation fit: All taps come with standard fittings compatible with most UK kitchen setups.

Aftercare & maintenance


Blanco products are designed for easy upkeep:

  • For stainless steel sinks, wipe with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and always dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.

  • For Silgranit sinks, use a soft sponge and soapy water. The surface is naturally resistant to stains and scratches.

  • For taps, regular wiping with a damp cloth prevents limescale build-up. Avoid abrasive pads or strong cleaners.

  • Occasionally, check for leaks and clean aerators to maintain water flow.

  • For best results, use Blanco’s recommended cleaning products or gentle alternatives.

Proper care keeps the finish looking new and maintains functionality for years.
