The Blanco 525012 Cerana 33" represents a breakthrough in farmhouse sink design, combining authentic fireclay construction with reversible installation options for modern fabrication workflows. This single-bowl apron-front sink measures 33" x 19.19" and features dual corner profiles—traditional rounded or contemporary straight—allowing fabricators to accommodate diverse design specifications. Our precision DXF templates provide four installation variants optimized for natural stone, quartz, and engineered surface applications, ensuring perfect integration with your CNC cutting equipment.
Installation Overview
Installing the Blanco 525012 requires careful attention to the farmhouse apron-front design, which extends below the countertop surface. The sink measures 33" wide by 19.19" deep with a 10" overall height, fitting standard 36" base cabinets. Fabricators must account for the 8.46" below-counter depth during template preparation, ensuring adequate clearance for cabinet modifications. The fireclay construction demands precise cutout tolerances—our templates include no-reveal, 1/8" reveal, and 1/2" overhang variants to accommodate different mounting preferences. Center drain positioning enables the reversible installation feature, requiring careful alignment during countertop fabrication. The sink's 31.5" x 17.63" bowl dimensions provide ample workspace while maintaining structural integrity in granite, quartzite, and marble installations. Support brackets must be positioned to distribute the sink's weight evenly across the cabinet structure, particularly important with dense natural stone materials.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC programming for the Cerana 33" demands special consideration for the fireclay sink's dimensional tolerances. The template provides four cutting variants: no-reveal (31.5" x 17.5"), 1/8" reveal (31.25" x 17.25"), 1/2" overhang (30.5" x 16.5"), and full drop-in (33" x 19"). Use a 0.75" corner radius consistently across all variants to prevent stress concentration in brittle materials. For granite and quartzite, employ wet cutting with diamond tooling at 3500-4500 RPM to minimize microfracturing along the cutout perimeter. The apron-front design requires precise front-edge profiling—ensure adequate material thickness (minimum 3cm) to support the sink's 10" height without compromising structural integrity. Test cuts in scrap material verify dimensional accuracy before committing to finished slabs.
Material Compatibility
The Blanco 525012 performs exceptionally across diverse countertop materials, though installation techniques vary significantly. Granite and quartzite installations benefit from the no-reveal or 1/8" reveal variants, maximizing mechanical support around the sink perimeter while accommodating the material's brittleness. Quartz and engineered surfaces pair well with the 1/2" overhang option, creating clean visual lines while the material's flexibility provides additional stress tolerance. Marble installations require conservative cutout dimensions—use the 1/8" reveal variant to maintain maximum material integrity around the sink opening. The fireclay construction matches thermal expansion characteristics across all stone types, preventing differential movement issues. Avoid ultra-thin porcelain installations (less than 12mm) unless using specialized reinforcement brackets, as the sink's weight exceeds typical thin-panel load ratings.
Where to Buy
The Blanco 525012 Cerana 33" is available through major plumbing distributors including Ferguson, Quality Bath, and The Sink Boutique. Retail pricing typically ranges $800-1,100 depending on finish selection (white or biscuit). Professional fabricators can access trade pricing through Blanco's authorized dealer network. Verify stock availability before templating, as fireclay production sometimes faces extended lead times during high-demand periods.
