Trusted by Aussies: Top laundry sink brands in 2024

Laundries have come a long way from the purely functional spaces that they once were. They’re now an important feature of many modern Australian homes, and a room that property owners put a lot of thought into.

Among the most important decisions that goes into creating the perfect laundry is selecting your laundry sink. Not only are these fittings integral to the practical use of your laundry, they’re also an aesthetic focal point that serve to anchor many of the other features and appliances found in this space.

With so many choices of laundry sink out there, we’ve decided to zoom in on a couple of our favourite brands, and showcase everything they have to offer.

• Schock

Schock have been the leading manufacturer of their signature granite sinks for over 30 years, so they know a thing or two about what it takes to make a quality unit.

As well as precision German manufacturing standards, Schock puts a significant emphasis on being eco-friendly, which is among the many reasons why they’re up there with our favourite brands. They do this by investing in state of the art resource-saving technologies that will ensure sustainable extraction of their quality raw materials long into the future.

All products in the Schock Collection range are made from one of three materials:

• Cristalite: these sinks have a textured, natural feel to the surface, and come in a range of finishes including Onyx, Alpina, Concrete and Croma.
• Cristadur: by contrast, Cristadur sinks have a perfectly smooth finish, with colour options including Stone, Polaris and Magma.
• Cristadur Green Line: made from 99% recycled raw materials, the Cristadur Green Line is a first within the granite sink market, and comes in a black or a white finish.

This Schock Virtus Large Bowl laundry sink with an Onyx finish is a perfect example of the practical yet sophisticated product that Shock produces. While these sinks would be at home in laundries of all types and sizes, Shock products are particularly well suited to modern homes where understated style is the overarching aesthetic. 

• Chambord 

At Abey Australia, we like to try and provide something to suit all tastes and aesthetic choices. So, at the opposite end of the spectrum to the sleek, modern look of the Schock range is the classical elegance of the Chambord collection.

Here, we’re swapping German precision engineering for French flair, with sinks that are perfect for traditional farmhouse-inspired laundries. Chambord has been hand-finishing their famous ceramic sinks in the French art deco style since 1896, meaning they truly do bring heritage into your laundry. This history also means you can trust the quality of the units produced by Chambord, and the ceramic materials used are also highly functional, being heat resistant, hygienic and easy to clean.

You’ll find a wide range of Chambord laundry sinks at Abey Australia, with a variety of sizes and designs to fit neatly into any sized space. If you have enough room, a unit with an additional bowl can come in handy, particularly for those times when the sink needs to serve dual purposes. For example, this Chambord HENRI 1 and 1/2 Bowl Fireclay gives you additional versatility, while sacrificing nothing on looks. For example, you could soak coloured clothes in one bowl, while the other is used for whites or delicate items.

The products we’ve described here are just some of the fantastic laundry sinks produced by both Schock and Chambord. You’ll find plenty more where these came from, as well as other ranges of laundry sinks available on the Abey Australia website.
