SELECTING YOUR SINK CENTRE
The perfect kitchen sink has many criteria to meet: it must be easy to clean and maintain, beautiful – naturally – as well as durable, practical and ready for anything. When choosing a sink, you will be confronted with a multitude of different materials. Should you opt for a stainless steel sink, a ceramic sink or perhaps a granite composite sink?
Cristadur® UND Cristalite® materiaL Properties
SCHOCK sinks mainly consist of natural quartz sand. The premium satin matt finish CRISTADUR® and the stony surface CRISTALITE® were specially developed for the demands of the kitchen.
The rigours of everyday use vanish from the tried and tested material almost without a trace.

Both CRISTALITE® and CRISTADUR® consist of up to 75% natural, Bavarian quartz sand and are handmade in the Bavarian Forest.
We are keen to optimise both materials continually, including by making them even more sustainable in future.
The new CRISTADUR® Green Line is a start, being ~ 99% made from natural, renewable or recycled raw materials.
