Global innovators Schock create hard-wearing, long-lasting sinkware to withstand the demands of the modern kitchen.
February 29th, 2012
There’s no doubting that Schock are innovators in their field. Having invented the granite sink over 30 years ago, they set the scene for a design revolution – approximately 75% of the almost 2 million granite sinks produced each year are now manufactured using the Schock method.
Schock manufactures its sinks exclusively in Germany – the only producer to do so.
Its hardwearing range of products combines 80% quartz with high grade acrylic for a hardened composite material that is resistant to cracks and dirt and lasts a lifetime.
Specifically developed to meet the demanding needs of a modern kitchen, Schock products are durable and tough. Stain and scratch-resistant, food safe, UV-stable and easy to clean – the high quartz content of Schock sinkware makes it impervious to all manner of damaging factors.
Shock also integrates the Schock Antibac® system into all its products. Natural silver ions reduce bacterial growth by 95%, making the kitchen environment safer and cleaner.
Combined with Schock’s CRISTADUR® Nanoclean-effect technology, it is virtually impossible for bacteria or dirt to stick to the material’s surface.
Schock sinkware is available in 2 sizes from Abey Australia.

Within the intimate confines of compact living, where space is at a premium, efficiency is critical and dining out often trumps home cooking, Gaggenau’s 400 Series Culinary Drawer proves that limited space can, in fact, unlock unlimited culinary possibilities.
In design, the concept of absence is particularly powerful – it’s the abundant potential of deliberate non-presence that amplifies the impact of what is. And it is this realm of sophisticated subtraction that Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series so generously – and quietly – occupies.
