INSTALLATION INNOVATION! Save time with Franke’s easy Slimfix ® system
Slimfix® clips are also available on the new Aruba granite sink by Carron Phoenix – the first granite sink to feature the innovative system which ensures fast and easy installation from above the worksurface.
Installers can say goodbye to the awkward task of squeezing under the sink during its installation to secure it in place by using fiddly clamps, screws and fixing rails thanks to the innovative Slimfix® fixing system by Franke. The patented installation method anchors the sink firmly to the work surface without the need for any under-sink fitting – brilliant! So how exactly does it work? You begin as normal by creating a cut-out in the 74
worktop using the template supplied and applying waterproof sealant around the surface of the newly cut space. At this point you would usually have to duck underneath the worktop and inside the cabinet to fix the sink in place, all the while holding the sink so to prevent it from moving out of position. However, with Slimfix® you simply drop the sink into the space and push down to secure the clips, and you’re done! This simple system is super easy to do and saves kitchen installers valuable time, all
