I have a Blanco Anthracite on a bar sink in a den and in my outdoor kitchen. Have had them since 2016. Never an issue with either. We have well water. Much better than stainless.

My kitchen sink is the Blanco super single in anthracite. I've had it since 2015 and it is wonderful. No issues at all.

Whatever you choose, please make sure you sink is strapped, not clipped or blocked, in place. If you need to change that sink, you'll thank me. Hercules Universal Sink Harness from BB Industries or Sink Strap from GranQuartz.

@Joseph Corlett, LLC - Newbie here, how would a strapped in sink be better than a clipped on or blocked in place?

Straps turn your sink into a 9" deep truss that supports the countertop. Clips and/or blocking cannot do that structurally. If you like a thin front rail, there isn't enough room for clips along the front, so fabricators eliminate them. With a divided sink, that's a disaster because the steel-on-the-flat flexes and the sink leaks. At best that makes an uncleanable and unsanitary black/brown crud line; at worst the leak causes the reinforcing rod to rust and splits the stone. Wood blocking can shrink, stressing the silicone joint and again causing leaks. Both make sink replaement much more difficult that replacing a strapped sink.

I have had a Blanco Precis Kitchen Sink in Biscuit for 9 years and a Bar sink in white in our bar. love it. I find it durable, doesn't scratch or chip. The side that we use most in the kitchen will show the need for cleaning more often than other side, but that being said we use it contantly and cook daily, so frequent cleaning is to be expected. At this time we are changing our countertops from speckled brown granite to Taj Mahal Quartzite and I'm in the middle of deciding which color to choose for my new Blanco sink.

I’ve been using a Blanco Silgranit sink for two years; it’s highly resistant to scratches, stains, and heat. It’s heavier than steel and can chip if something very heavy is dropped, so just handle with a bit of care. The Anthracite finish really pops against Calacatta Sierra quartz, and for an extra $150 the upgrade feels worth it, durable, and low‑maintenance.
