A month ago we had our Franke Urban sink installed. It looks great and I am finding it a breeze to keep clean. I would recommend installing it with a pull out spray tap so that you can easily rinse it out when needed. The Franke Rollmat (purchased separately) has been useful as it provides extra space to stack the dishes and for somewhere to place hot pans directly from the oven. I believe the sink is also heat resistant but I have been too afraid to test it out.
