As kitchens evolve into social spaces, SCHOCK’s innovative quartz composite sinks from The 1810 Company blend precision engineering, durability and design-led individuality for modern living
The kitchen is no longer just a space for preparing meals behind closed doors, it has become a social hub and the true heart of the home. And in this evolution, kitchen components can no longer be purely practical, but must also make a statement. Every feature must earn its place – and few work harder than the sink.
As the most-used aspect in the kitchen, it truly deserves to take its place as a focal point – designed as beautifully as it performs. Variety and innovation are more important than ever, and at The 1810 Company, we’ve moved with the times, prioritising this without compromising quality, and now offer our largest selection ever of SCHOCK quartz composite sinks.
For the sink, it’s essential to keep up with the practical demands as well as aesthetics, ensuring it is both a striking design piece and a trusted, highly functional element that stands up to everyday use.
There is a noticeable increase in demand for something extra special, and SCHOCK understands this better than anyone. As the inventors of the quartz composite sink and pioneers of the premium CRISTADUR® material, SCHOCK has redefined what the sink can be.
With an unrivalled palette of colours, there is now the choice between the soft sophistication of Puro and Stone, or the bold vibrancy of Berry and Bronze, allowing homeowners and designers to personalise their kitchen with unparalleled freedom.
Engineered in Germany at SCHOCK’s cutting-edge Regen factory, CRISTADUR® is designed to perform beautifully under everyday pressure. Its silky-smooth, dirt-repellent surface keeps the sink pristine with minimal effort. The material is perfectly suited to modern living – food-safe, fade-resistant, compatible with boiling water taps and supported by a 15-year warranty, bringing peace of mind and long-lasting quality.
SCHOCK sinks are more than mere functional fixtures; they are thoughtfully designed elements that enhance the kitchen’s role as the heart of the home. By prioritising design, material quality, functionality, and sustainability, SCHOCK offers products that not only meet but exceed the expectations of modern kitchen environments.
Following the introduction of the Berry and Ivy colours in early 2025, and with the soft, elegant Magnolia shade joining the collection from the start of 2026 (available to order now), there are now even more opportunities to inject personality and individuality into the kitchen, allowing every sink to become a true statement piece that complements the home’s style.
For developers aiming to elevate specification levels and create kitchens that truly resonate with today’s buyers, SCHOCK’s combination of innovation, craftsmanship, and colour variety offers a distinctive edge. The sink is no longer a silent component – it’s the centrepiece around which life unfolds.
Because when the most-used element in the kitchen performs beautifully (and looks beautiful too), everything else simply falls into place.
