PR-36S Prestige Series Sink Bottom Grid, Stainless Steel

Grid is absolutely beautiful and fits perfectly. Better than the vinyl coated original. Had the original grid for over 10 years. Time for a replacement. This un-coated grid looks really great. The grid is of a heavier construction than the original. It is longer, from front to back, covering the area over the drain much more accurately. The padded feet are fine, heavier than expected, and should protect the sink bottom for a long time. It also came with eight (8) 1" bumpers around the perimeters, to better protect the sink on all four sides. Two in front, and rear; two on both right and left sides. The quality is excellent. I looked at all the comments. All were very helpful when selecting a Franke replacement. I am very pleased with the decision to go without the vinyl-covered grid. This one looks much better than my original and will be easier to maintain. Very satisfied!

We purchased the Franke PRK-120 fireclay double bowl undermount sink more than 15 years ago, and it has withstood the test of time. But the bottom grid, the coated stainless steel version, has not done as well. It became dingy/discolored, plus debris and dark grunge managed to find their way under the silicone coating. Unsightly, but not affecting the function of the grid to protect the sink. Franke discontinued the sink and the grid (PK-36C coated stainless version and PK-36S stainless, no coating version) many years ago, leaving owners in the lurch. Took a chance on this stainless steel gird (PR-36S) and, bah-bam, it fits perfectly! Took photos of the old and new grids stacked in the sink, and a solo of the new grid. Old grid off to the recycling bin.

Ok this is a really good grid, much better than the old plastic covered one we had, it fits the sink much better, is uncovered stainless, no plastic which degrades and burns with hot pans, bigger gauge stainless, better made, bigger feet protectors and this one has side bumpers which protect the sides of the sink. Overall a much better product. These things are expensive but I could say this is almost a good value vs the old grid. P.S. the picture they show is the old grid, same as what we had. The picture is probably the PR-31 that we've all been buying as the PR-36 all these years. the newer grid is shaped exactly to the sink, you'll be much happier with the new grid. Our sink by the way is the Franke PRX 160 and it fits it perfectly. Edit: The picture of the grid has been updated so it's now the proper picture of the one being sold.

For 8 years, we had what we thought was the coated version (PR36C) of this grid. However, what we got when we ordered the uncoated stainless version (PR36S) is not the same size or heft as our old one. Similarly, the picture that accompanies this ad is not shaped like that which we received; it looks like our old one (which I now suspect was a PR31C). All that being said, what we just received is larger, is a perfect fit to our PRX-160 sink - extending to all four walls - and of a far more substantial guage of stainless wire. Time will tell whether an uncoated grid is less of a headache than coated, but I expect so. The coated versions get disgusting after a couple of years - pinpoint holes allowing water and food to accumulate and turn brown under the coating. At these kind of prices, it is not something you want to replace every couple of years. Unlike the coated versions, I expect that I should be able to either hand-scrub or dishwasher the raw stainless. Bottom line: a far more attractive and sturdy tool for the sink bottom than we have ever had.

This is a huge improvement over the older, smaller version. Spent a long time looking for a replacement by the size of the original black coated one. I would have bought this years ago if I had known. It's really nice and brightens up the kitchen. I haven't had it long, but it looks like it will be easy to keep clean. It really fits the sink well and seems quite sturdy. Very happy with my purchase even if the price is a little high.

Replaced the original grid, which was coated, with this one which is not coated for long term use w/o having to worry about the plastic coating melting or wearing. Overall I'm happy however the first grid shipped from Amazon was defective in that it was warped and wouldn't sit even in the sink, it would wobble. The second one sent by Amazon was fine w/ the exception of some minor marks but nothing I can't live with, such is the draw back of not being able to inspect products in person prior to purchase. This grid fits better then the original in that it is slightly longer by an inch or so covering the sink more completely. The lack of coating is noticeable when placing dishes and stuff in the sink, it makes more noise w/o the coating. The grid has 'feet' that are more spaced out then on the original which makes it a bit more stable, slightly, when items are placed on the grid away from it's center and towards the edges. The thickness of the grid in terms of gauge is more substantial. Pros; fits better, should be more robust then the coated grid, heavier gauge, slightly more stable then original grid. Cons; uncoated isn't as quiet when placing items onto it, coated finish (when new) looks nicer (subjective), pricey.

Great quality product for stainless steel sinks - made of metal with rubber feet. Highly recommend

This is a very nicely made sink shelf for my Franke sink. Note this is the "S" version (PR-36S). I had the "C" version that some sites call "chrome" but is actually the same stainless steel but coated with some plastic. Franke says that version is for users who want to protect their china better, but if you use a lot of hot water or hot pots, that melts the plastic. It was also impossible to keep clean. Who doesn't use hot water and hot pots??? This version seems much more practical to me, and can even go in the dishwasher. It is also shaped to better fit in the sink.....the picture here is the old one, while the one I got contours to the sink better up around the drain area. It also comes with some plastic bumpers on the edges to prevent hitting the sink....not sure if those are needed but we'll see. I'm very happy with this choice.

It fits better in our sink than the old one, into Franke pr36 sink very satisfied.

Perfect fit. Made by Franke We love it

Exactement tel que décrit. Bon look.
