German craftsmanship in the kitchen
Pioneering German manufacturer Schock revolutionised kitchen design more than four decades ago with the invention of the granite sink. Today, its sinks are renowned for their exceptional durability, innovative materiality and sophisticated aesthetic.
Through an exclusive partnership with Abey, Schock’s premium sinks are now available to Australian homeowners and designers seeking to elevate kitchen spaces.
At the heart of Schock’s innovation lies its proprietary materials: Cristalite, Cristadur and Cristadur Greenline. Cristalite is composed of up to 80 per cent natural quartz sand, resulting in a robust and resilient surface that withstands the rigours of daily use. Cristadur, on the other hand, represents the pinnacle of Schock’s material technology, offering a smoother, velvety texture that is both luxurious and highly functional.
The latest advancement is the highly sustainable Cristadur Greenline, which incorporates recycled and renewable resources without compromising performance. All three materials are not only scratch-, stain- and heat-resistant but also possess antibacterial properties, ensuring a hygienic environment for food preparation.
The manufacturing process reflects German precision engineering at its finest. It begins with the careful selection and processing of raw materials, including high-quality quartz sand. This mixture is poured into moulds, where it hardens into the desired sink shape. Once set, the sinks undergo CNC machining to remove excess material and drill precise openings for drains and fittings. Each sink is then thoroughly inspected for quality before receiving its final finish. This rigorous process ensures that every sink meets the highest standards of craftsmanship and durability.
The sinks’ design versatility caters to a wide array of kitchen styles and preferences. From minimalist single-bowl configurations to more elaborate designs featuring integrated drainers, there is a Schock sink to complement a range of kitchen aesthetics. The sinks are available in a spectrum of colours, allowing for seamless integration into various design schemes. This adaptability, combined with superior material properties, makes the sinks a preferred choice for both contemporary and traditional kitchens.
With exclusive colour ranges available through Abey, Schock sinks offer a blend of German engineering excellence and innovative material technology. The curated selection is showcased in Abey’s Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney showrooms, where customers can experience the craftsmanship for themselves and find a design tailored to their space.
Choosing a Schock sink means investing in a product that balances durability, functionality and timelessness, and sets the standard in high-performance kitchen solutions.
