CRISTADUR HYGIENE WITH AN EXQUISITE SHEEN CRISTADUR is Schock s premium material, alongside CRISTA- STONE. The material is specially developed for the demands of the kitchen. The rigours of everyday use vanish from CRISTADUR sinks without a trace red wine, coffee and heavy pans leave no marks whatsoever. The material is particularly easy to clean, safe for use with food and finished with Schock Antibac. This naturally antibacterial hygiene protection system developed by Schock inhibits around 95% of bacterial growth, which makes doing kitchen chores a more hygienic and carefree experience. Schock Antibac is the first and so far the only antibacterial hygiene protection system for the kitchen sink. The poreless structure of CRISTADUR makes the material particularly fine, allowing for unprecedented ease of care and featuring a dirt repellent effect. Dirt that could be a breeding ground for bacteria finds it impossible to stick to the material s surface. The dirt runs off. It can easily be removed with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid. CRISTADUR benefits at a glance -Dirt repellent effect (the dirt simply runs off) -Naturally antibacterial (exclusive to Schock) -Extremely easy to clean -Food-safe -Light-fast -Stain-resistant -Shock-proof thanks to the very high quartz content -Installation: flush mount, undermount, topmount Made in Germany An added benefit of CRISTADUR is its silky-smooth finish, giving the material a delicate shimmer and a soft feel with maximum resistance to dirt and scratches. Around 85% of the material used in Schock s CRISTADUR sinks is quartz, the hardest constituent of granite, which is why they are also known as granite sinks. The quartz is coupled with a high-grade acrylic binder. It is this combination of acrylic and quartz that gives the sinks their durability. The granite sinks developed and patented by Schock have achieved a highly acclaimed reputation as premium products over the past twenty years, with more than a million of the sinks sold across the globe each year. 4
