If you mean the one in my link yes it's black, or maybe a really really dark grey/anthracite if the nit picking brigade come along. Matt finish too, it looks good.
Agreed, similar but not the Franke name & half the guarantee......then there's the postage.
I can't translate French but I suspect that's probably the plastic composite that marks & isn't good with heat resistance, the quartz composites are definitely worth a bit more coin for durability

We have the white version of this. It looks fabulous. It states that the white one is 'clearance' but its atill £204. Not sure how they can get away with it.

Thanks op. Having the kitchen done. Was looking at these didn't want to spend out. But got one in loughboro ( fair few on shelf all discounted ranges) no doubt better than the howdens lamona sink I would have ended up with.

I was going to get one of these type sinks but read they are a pain to clean and you get white deposit on them. has anyone experienced this? apparently oil is the best way to clean them?

We had a composite one in our old kitchen that I think the previous owners neglected. I think it'd have probably cleaned up well, but we live in a hard water area, so all the nooks and crannies of the sink started discolouring from the water.
Personally I wouldn't have a black sink of any material for this reason. They've all got their pro's & con's, went for an Astracast stainless steel in the end!

Limescale remover is the way to clean em I've read. But only time will tell for mine.
