Description
The Blanco Profina 36 (model 523026) represents the pinnacle of farmhouse sink craftsmanship, combining traditional apron-front aesthetics with modern fireclay durability. This 36-inch by 19-inch single bowl farmhouse sink features an expansive 34.5-inch by 17.5-inch basin depth of 9.25 inches, providing exceptional capacity for large cookware and food preparation tasks. Fired at temperatures exceeding 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit, the fireclay material delivers a flawlessly smooth, non-porous surface that resists scratching, chipping, and thermal shock. Our precision DXF cutout templates accommodate the unique installation requirements of farmhouse sinks with four variants: no reveal for flush basin mounting, 1/8-inch reveal for standard applications, 1/2-inch overhang for additional support, and drop-in configuration for retrofit scenarios. Each template accounts for the sink's prominent 10-inch apron front and 3/4-inch rim thickness.

Installation Overview
Farmhouse sink installation differs fundamentally from standard undermount applications, requiring modified cabinet construction and specialized countertop fabrication techniques. The Blanco 523026 Profina 36 demands a minimum 39-inch cabinet specifically designed for apron-front sinks, with the cabinet face removed to accommodate the sink's forward-projecting apron. Standard base cabinets cannot be used without substantial modification. Countertop fabrication for farmhouse sinks involves creating a cutout that extends to the cabinet's front edge while supporting the countertop material on the sink's 3/4-inch rim thickness. The no-reveal variant cuts to the 34.5-inch by 17.5-inch interior basin dimensions, positioning the countertop edge flush with the basin opening for integrated appearances. The 1/8-inch reveal option at 34.25 inches by 17.25 inches provides a small lip overlap, the most common choice for stone countertops that benefits from the additional support surface. The 1/2-inch overhang variant at 33.5 inches by 16.5 inches maximizes stone contact with the sink rim, recommended for thinner countertop materials or installations requiring maximum support. Installation sequence requires setting the sink first, then templating and fabricating the countertop to match the installed sink position.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC cutting for the Blanco 523026 Profina farmhouse sink presents unique challenges compared to standard undermount applications due to the front-edge cutout geometry. The template must extend completely to the countertop's front edge, requiring careful programming to prevent tool interference with cabinet structures during the cutting operation. Use edge-referenced programming rather than center-referenced to ensure accurate alignment with the cabinet opening. The 0.25-inch corner radii are tighter than typical undermount sinks, demanding finishing bits no larger than 3/16 inches diameter for accurate corner execution. For granite and quartzite, implement a conservative three-pass strategy: rough cut at 70% speed with 1/2-inch depth per pass, semi-finish at 50% speed, and final polish pass at 40% speed using premium diamond tooling. The front edge where the apron meets the countertop requires exceptional finish quality since it's highly visible; polish this area to 400 grit for professional appearance. Support the cutout section carefully during separation since farmhouse cutouts create heavy scrap pieces that can bind the bit or damage the countertop if they drop suddenly.
Material Compatibility
The Blanco 523026 Profina 36 farmhouse sink installation techniques vary significantly by countertop material due to the unique apron-front configuration. Granite installations typically use the 1/8-inch reveal variant, with the stone resting on the sink's substantial 3/4-inch rim. The fireclay surface bonds well with granite epoxies; ensure rim contact areas are clean and dry before adhesive application. Quartz and engineered stone work beautifully with farmhouse sinks since the factory-finished front edge aligns with the sink's apron, creating cohesive design aesthetics. Use the 1/8-inch reveal variant with color-matched adhesives for invisible seaming. Solid surface materials enable creative integrated designs, with the no-reveal variant allowing seamless transitions between countertop and basin. Some fabricators create custom solid surface aprons that extend over the fireclay apron for completely integrated appearances. Butcher block and wood countertops pair naturally with farmhouse sinks' traditional styling; waterproof the front edge thoroughly where wood meets the sink rim using marine-grade sealants. The fireclay material's weight exceeds composite and stainless alternatives, requiring robust cabinet support structures regardless of countertop material selection.
