In our journey today we will step into the manufacturing world of composite material sinks. Granite sinks.

Composite material sinks are made of eighty percent quartz and twenty percent acrylic. Imagine extracting quartz out of the mineral matter of the earth and create a fresh new material for sinks. Really awesome.

The engineering and design of composite material sinks was started by Schock in 1979. This family business was created by the three Schock brothers in 1924, in Regen, Germany. Visit https://www.schock.de/en/sinks to read their story.

Forty years later Schock is a World leader in composite material kitchen sink design. Now here is the point, they are pioneers and as such they have registered patents and own various awards for creativity.

This is important because, clearly, there are other manufacturers in the World and yes, some of them deliver structurally sound sinks, however you need to know that in terms of cutting edge, these sinks are the real deal.

Composite material sinks have a five years guarantee so make sure that this is made clear to you when you purchase a composite material sink. This is the industry norm.

Open the box in the shop and sign for it as received in good order before you leave the shop. Both you and the supplier will be happy.

There are three installation types, under mount, top mount/inset and flush mount.

See the Schock You Tube installation video on their website www.schock.de/eng.

There are features and finishes for every space.

The benefits are what helps you and so I will start with the best one which is that granite is a non-scratch surface.

Designed to be naturally water repellent, odour free, bacteria free, sustains heat up to a maximum of 180 degrees, does not stain and easy to clean.

I do not recommend that you take a hot pot from the stove and place it on the kitchen sink drainer and I also do not recommend that you drain hot oil in the sink.

You can have a matt finish or a satin luminous finish.

Some stockists often sell the sink with the installation and the plumbing kit, all in one box.

A countertop in quartz is the absolutely dream surface to complement your beautiful sink. www.interslab.co.za is a wholesaler of the original quartz surface, Caesarstone, if you visit their site you will be able to find who are their distributors.
