More Than 11,000 Votes Cast to Determine 2016 Winners


/EINPresswire.com/ -- SMYRNA, TN -- (Marketwired) -- 08/31/16 -- Franke, the largest stainless steel kitchen sink manufacturer in the world and a leading name in kitchen faucets, has been selected as a winner in the Kitchen Sink category of the fourth-annual Kitchen & Bath Business Readers' Choice Awards. More than 11,000 kitchen and bath professionals, including designers, dealers, architects and builders, voted in 25 categories to choose the 2016 winners.

In the "kitchen sink" category, readers were asked to judge each brand based on criteria that included installation type, stain resistance and durability, configuration, style, and aesthetics. Local availability, pricing and client support were also considered.

"We so appreciate Kitchen & Bath Business readers for recognizing Franke as among the best kitchen sink manufacturers on the market," said Gary Langbo, President of Franke Kitchen Systems. "For more than 100 years, we've combined quality, craftsmanship, performance, and innovation to transform the kitchen into the heart of the home.
