SCHOCKSINKS IN CRISTADUR®

Cover photo: platinumdesign, Stuttgart

Welcome to the world of the granite sink

Schock invented granite sinks and has been the world’s leading

manufacturer of these products for 30 years. Customers in

more than 70 countries value the quality and design of the sinks

manufactured exclusively at the company’s headquarters in the

Bavarian Forest (Germany). More than a million sinks are manu-

factured with the Schock method across the globe each year.

The possibilities offered by innovative nanotechnology enabled

Schock to achieve a quantum leap over conventional sinks in

terms of quality, ease of care and protection against bacteria

with the development of the premium Cristadur material in 2005.

Schock’s headquarters

are located in the Bavarian Forest.

CRISTADUR® is Schock’s premium material, alongside CRISTA-

STONE®. The material is specially developed for the demands of

the kitchen. The rigours of everyday use vanish from CRISTADUR®

sinks without a trace – red wine, coffee and heavy pans leave

no marks whatsoever. The material is particularly easy to clean,

safe for use with food and finished with Schock Antibac. This

hygiene protection system, exclusive to Schock, uses natural

silver ions to inhibit 95% of bacterial growth, which makes doing

kitchen chores a more hygienic and carefree experience. Schock

Antibac is the first and so far the only antibacterial hygiene pro-

tection system for the kitchen sink.

Furthermore, CRISTADUR® has an extremely fine nanostructure,

allowing for unprecedented ease of care and featuring the Nano-

clean effect (lotus effect). Dirt that could be a breeding ground

for bacteria finds it impossible to stick to the material’s surface.

It simply runs off.

An added benefit of CRISTADUR® is its silky-smooth finish, giving

the material a delicate shimmer and a soft feel with maximum re-

sistance to dirt and scratches.

Around 85% of the material used in Schock’s CRISTADUR® sinks

is quartz, the hardest constituent of granite, which is why they are

also known as granite sinks.

The granite is coupled with a high-grade acrylic binder. It is this

combination of acrylic and granite that gives the sinks their

durability.

The granite sinks developed and patented by Schock have

achieved a highly acclaimed reputation as premium products

over the past twenty years, with more than a million of the

sinks sold across the globe each year.

SCHOCK HYGIENE CONCEPTMaking life more hygienic and carefree.

The premium CRISTADUR® material additionally offers the

Nanoclean effect. The material’s nanostructure is so fine that

it is virtually impossible for bacteria and dirt to stick to the

surface. It simply runs off.

Sinks used to prepare food or wash dishes and pans provide

a breeding ground for bacteria. Schock Antibac is the first

and so far the only antibacterial hygiene protection system

for the kitchen sink. The integrated protection mechanism

uses natural silver ions to reduce bacterial growth by 95%.
