SCHOCK INVENTED THE GRANITE SINK
Even after more than 35 years, 80% of all granite sinks
made in the world today are manufactured using SCHOCK
methods – that’s 2 million granite sinks a year.
SCHOCK PREMIUM DESIGN
SCHOCK’s material technology enables the realisation of
exceptional designs. Premium sinks from SCHOCK have
won numerous design awards over the years.
SCHOCK MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY
THE COMPANY
Since the invention of the granite sink, SCHOCK materials
have been continually rened and set new standards.
This innovative spirit is reected in more than 90 patents.

The sink and surrounding area is statistically the most frequently used part of
the kitchen, so the rigours a sink has to withstand as people go about their daily
chores are obviously especially great. But transportation to the customers is also
a challenge for the packaging owing to the weight of the sink.
By ingraining a special fibreglass product in the bottom of the sink, SCHOCK has
been able to increase the material’s impact resistance several times over, with
the organic fibres cross-linking the quartz casting compound even better and
affording the material greater elasticity.
The effect can be compared with the difference between concrete (tough) and
reinforced concrete (tough and flexible). Developed in-house by the materials
research team, the technology is patent pending.
* Impact resistance is up to 4x higher in the reinforced areas. (DIN 53453)
