The 60 cm format has become one of the most common choices in modern kitchen design. But why?
It offers a perfect balance of versatility and functionality: it fits most kitchens, provides a generous single bowl, and blends seamlessly into diverse aesthetic styles. That said, not all sinks in this size are created equal. In this article, we break down what sets the best models apart, what professionals are looking for today, and how Frecan has reinterpreted this format with precision.
Why 60 cm?
In kitchen design, 60 cm is more than just a standard dimension, it’s the base module around which appliances, work areas, and sinks are designed. It allows for a bowl that’s roomy enough for everyday use, yet compact enough for urban or linear kitchens without sacrificing space.
However, what really makes the difference isn’t the outer width, it’s how the interior is utilized in terms of capacity, ergonomics, and design.
What do professionals demand?
Many sinks sacrifice functionality for style. High-end models, in contrast, offer deep, straight, vertical bowls that allow you to wash trays, pots, or oversized items without splashing. Frecan’s Ampla 60 cm focuses exactly on that: an actual, usable bowl, no wasted space from sweeping curves or sloped walls.
Technically, premium-grade 18/10 stainless steel and fine satin finishing are standout features. Installers and specifiers immediately recognize the difference, not just for durability but also for ease of cleaning and resistance to watermarks or fingerprints.
Seamless design
Designers increasingly value sinks that visually disappear, undermounted or flush with the countertop, with no visible edges or seams. The goal is clean, uninterrupted aesthetic continuity. Ampla delivers on this with pure lines and minimal detailing, designed to integrate effortlessly into stone or technical laminate countertops.
More than a water point
Today’s sink isn’t just for washing, it’s a versatile workspace. That’s why Ampla is compatible with accessories such as:
- Pull‑out drainers
- Custom‑fitted cutting boards
- Auxiliary bowls
- Integrated trays
These accessories amplify its functionality and turn it into a central work station in many modern kitchens.
How a 60 cm sink integrates in real kitchens
La medida de 60 cm es clave en multitud de configuraciones reales:
- Open kitchens with islands: installation under the countertop, creating visual flow.
- Linear kitchens: positioned between the dishwasher and cooktop, without compromising on design or comfort.
- Family or high‑performance kitchens: serving as a versatile secondary or prep sink with accessories.
The value of precision
Frecan’s Ampla is born from a real need: a sink that fits effortlessly, makes full use of every millimeter, and works perfectly from day one. Its design, materials, and proportions mean it’s always up to standard, even when you barely notice it.
Because when a sink truly fits, you don’t notice… until it’s missing.
