The Blanco Ikon 27 brings farmhouse sink elegance to compact kitchen spaces without compromising functionality or style. As part of Blanco's revolutionary SILGRANIT apron-front line, this 27-inch single bowl sink fits 30-inch base cabinets while delivering the same architectural appeal as its larger siblings. Our fabrication-ready DXF template ensures precision cutting for granite, quartz, and marble countertops in residential applications where space efficiency meets design excellence. The slightly angled apron-front profile adds visual depth while the generous 24.75-inch bowl accommodates everyday kitchen tasks from dish washing to food preparation.
Installation Overview
The Blanco 442521 Ikon 27 installation requires meticulous planning due to its compact footprint and apron-front configuration. Measuring 27 inches wide by 19 inches front-to-back with a 9.25-inch bowl depth, this sink fits 30-inch minimum base cabinets—ideal for galley kitchens, secondary prep areas, or urban apartments where space is premium. Our template provides four precision cutout variants: no reveal (24.75" x 16.5"), 1/8-inch reveal (24.5" x 16.25"), 1/2-inch overhang (23.75" x 15.5"), and drop-in configuration (27.0" x 19.0"). The no-reveal option maximizes the usable bowl dimension while creating a flush contemporary aesthetic. The 1/8-inch reveal variant remains the most specified, offering subtle definition without sacrificing functionality. For ultra-modern installations or thin stone applications, the 1/2-inch overhang provides visual lightness and maximum material coverage over the bowl rim. Cabinet modification mirrors the Ikon 33 process but on a smaller scale—removing front face frame components and installing horizontal support blocking to carry the sink's weight. The rear center drain optimizes under-sink storage despite the compact cabinet base. SILGRANIT's composite nature eliminates thermal expansion concerns common with cast iron farmhouse sinks.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC cutting the Ikon 27 template demands attention to scale—the smaller bowl dimensions leave less margin for error compared to larger farmhouse sinks. The 0.75-inch corner radius remains consistent with the Ikon 33, requiring smooth tool transitions to avoid flat spots or irregular curves. For quartz fabrication, use progressive cutting depths: rough pass at 1/8-inch clearance, intermediate at 1/16-inch, and final on-line pass with 50% reduced feed rate. Granite cuts cleanly with continuous water flow and sharp diamond tooling. The compact cutout width (24.75 inches on the no-reveal variant) can create challenges in material utilization—plan seam locations carefully to avoid waste. When cutting the 1/8-inch reveal variant, verify measurements against actual sink dimensions as manufacturing tolerances can affect reveal consistency. The template's 0.75-inch radius corners work well with 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch router bits; test the radius on scrap material first to ensure smooth curves without tool chatter.
Material Compatibility
The Blanco Ikon 27's SILGRANIT construction pairs seamlessly with all premium countertop materials. Granite installations benefit from the material compatibility—both are natural-derived materials with similar thermal properties. Quartz and engineered stone create stunning contemporary combinations, particularly with the sink's Metallic Gray or Anthracite finish options that complement popular quartz colorways. The sink's compact 27-inch width makes it ideal for small island installations in marble or quartzite, where a full-size farmhouse sink would overwhelm the space. SILGRANIT's 536°F heat resistance exceeds any countertop material's thermal tolerance, eliminating differential expansion concerns. Ultra-compact surfaces like Dekton pair beautifully with the Ikon 27's modern aesthetic. The sink's composite construction provides excellent edge support for the countertop cutout, reducing cantilever stress in thinner 2cm stone installations. Maintain minimum 1.5-inch stone thickness around the perimeter for structural integrity. The Ikon 27 works particularly well in waterfall island designs where the compact apron creates visual balance.
