Blanco 442522 Ikon 30 Apron Front Sink Cutout
Description
The Blanco Ikon 30 occupies the sweet spot in farmhouse sink sizing, offering substantial bowl capacity in a footprint that works with standard 33-inch base cabinets. This mid-size apron-front sink brings Blanco's pioneering SILGRANIT composite technology to kitchens that need more than a compact 27-inch model but can't accommodate a full 33-inch installation. Our precision DXF template provides stone fabricators with accurate cutout dimensions for granite, quartz, marble, and other premium countertop materials. The Ikon 30's slightly angled apron profile delivers architectural presence while the 26-5/16-inch bowl handles serious cooking and cleanup tasks with ease.

The Blanco Ikon 30 occupies the sweet spot in farmhouse sink sizing, offering substantial bowl capacity in a footprint that works with standard 33-inch base cabinets. This mid-size apron-front sink brings Blanco's pioneering SILGRANIT composite technology to kitchens that need more than a compact 27-inch model but can't accommodate a full 33-inch installation. Our precision DXF template provides stone fabricators with accurate cutout dimensions for granite, quartz, marble, and other premium countertop materials.

Installation Overview
Installing the Blanco 442522 Ikon 30 requires attention to both apron-front mounting and countertop cutout precision. The sink measures 30 inches wide by 19 inches front-to-back with a 9.25-inch bowl depth, designed for 33-inch minimum base cabinets. Our template includes four cutout configurations: no reveal (27.0" x 16.5"), 1/8-inch reveal (26.75" x 16.25"), 1/2-inch overhang (26.0" x 15.5"), and drop-in (30.0" x 19.0"). The no-reveal variant creates a flush installation where the SILGRANIT rim meets the stone cutout edge directly—clean and contemporary. The 1/8-inch reveal option remains the industry standard, providing subtle shadow-line definition that enhances both traditional and modern kitchen designs. For ultra-modern aesthetics or when working with 2cm stone, the 1/2-inch overhang variant allows maximum countertop material to extend over the bowl rim, creating visual lightness. Cabinet preparation involves removing the front face frame and installing horizontal support blocking to bear the sink's weight. The 10-inch apron height and 1.5-inch rim thickness require careful cabinet coordination. Rear center drain positioning with a 3.5-inch opening optimizes under-cabinet storage while accommodating standard waste disposal units.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC programming for the Ikon 30 benefits from the sink's intermediate sizing—easier material utilization than the Ikon 33 yet more forgiving tolerances than the compact Ikon 27. The 0.75-inch corner radius requires consistent tool path velocity to prevent flat spots in the curve transitions. For quartz fabrication, employ a three-pass cutting strategy: rough cut 1/8-inch outside final dimension, semi-finish at 1/16-inch clearance, and final pass on the line with feed rate reduced 40-50%. Maintain generous water flow to manage silica dust and prevent tool overheating. Granite cuts cleanly with sharp segmented or continuous rim diamond blades. The bowl cutout dimensions (27.0" x 16.5" for no-reveal) allow good material usage from standard 56-inch and 63-inch slabs. When programming the 1/8-inch reveal variant, verify against actual sink measurements as small manufacturing variances can affect reveal consistency. The template's corner radius works optimally with 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch diamond router bits—test on scrap first to dial in the ideal combination of feed rate and RPM for your specific stone material. For ultra-compact surfaces like Dekton or Neolith, reduce cutting speed and increase water to prevent edge microchipping.
Material Compatibility
The Blanco Ikon 30's SILGRANIT construction ensures compatibility across all premium countertop materials. Granite installations showcase natural stone paired with composite material that shares similar thermal and physical properties—both expand and contract minimally with temperature changes. Quartz and engineered stone create stunning contemporary combinations, with the Ikon 30's Metallic Gray and Anthracite finishes complementing popular quartz colorways like Calacatta, concrete, and charcoal patterns. The sink's 30-inch width makes it versatile for both perimeter and island installations in marble or quartzite applications. SILGRANIT's heat resistance to 536°F exceeds any countertop material's thermal tolerance, eliminating concerns about differential thermal expansion. Ultra-compact surfaces like Dekton, Neolith, and Lapitec pair beautifully with the Ikon 30's modern aesthetic and zero-radius (tight corner radius) design language. The composite construction provides substantial edge support for the countertop cutout, reducing stress concentrations that can lead to cracking in brittle materials like quartzite. Maintain 1.5-inch minimum stone thickness around the cutout perimeter for structural integrity. The Ikon 30 works exceptionally well with waterfall edge profiles and mitered island designs where the apron-front becomes a focal design element.
Where to Buy
The Blanco 442522 Ikon 30 Apron Front sink is widely available through kitchen and bath showrooms, plumbing supply houses, and online retailers. Lowe's, DirectSinks, Ferguson, F.W. Webb, and Alexander Marchant carry the Ikon 30 with pricing typically ranging $550-850 depending on SILGRANIT color selection. Professional fabricators benefit from trade pricing through regional Blanco distributors and plumbing wholesalers. The sink's 33-inch cabinet requirement makes it compatible with the most common base cabinet size in residential construction, driving strong availability. Available finishes include Anthracite (401732), White (401734), Metallic Gray (401733), and other SILGRANIT colors to coordinate with various countertop palettes. The sink includes Blanco's limited lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects. Many retailers offer package deals including custom-fitted sink grids, cutting boards, and accessories designed specifically for the Ikon 30's bowl dimensions.
