This Blum banio system converts the awkward space beneath your sink into proper storage. It works with Blum's LEGRABOX drawer boxes to create a drawer that fits around your sink's plumbing, turning what's usually a difficult area into usable space.
Where It Fits
You'll use this beneath an undermount or inset sink where pipes typically make the space unusable. It suits kitchens where you want to maximise storage in the sink base unit rather than leaving it as an empty void around plumbing.
How It Works
The system uses an H-shaped frame that you cut to size, creating precise openings for your specific plumbing configuration. This frame sits within a LEGRABOX drawer, allowing the drawer to open and close while working around pipes and waste connections. The frame conceals the cut edges for a clean finish.
Why It Matters
Sink bases often become cluttered storage areas where items get lost behind pipes. This system gives you proper drawer storage with full extension, so you can see and reach everything easily. You gain organised space for cleaning supplies, dishwasher tablets, or bin bags in an area that's typically wasted.
Design Consideration
This works well when you have standard plumbing layouts and want maximum storage efficiency. However, it requires precise measurement and cutting, and very complex plumbing arrangements might limit its effectiveness. The system only works with 16mm MFC drawer backs, so it's not suitable for all construction methods.
Build Quality
The frame is made from dark grey coated steel that matches the LEGRABOX system. It includes Blum's lifetime guarantee and uses their standard screw fixing method. The coating resists moisture and cleaning products, important in the under-sink environment.
Options
The frame cuts in 16mm increments to accommodate void widths up to 435mm, with depths from 48mm to 283mm. It works with LEGRABOX M, K, or C height drawer boxes, with different back bracket cuts required for each height.
Closing Guidance
Consider this if you want to make the most of your sink base unit and have relatively straightforward plumbing. The system requires careful measuring and cutting, so discuss the plumbing layout with us to ensure it will work effectively in your specific situation.
