Understanding the Living Finish of Copper
Copper is renowned for being a living finish, meaning it reacts naturally to everyday elements like water, air, and oils from your hands. Think of it like a fine leather item or cast iron skillet that develops a rich, seasoned character the more you use it. Rather than maintaining a static, factory-fresh appearance, your sink will continuously shift in tone and shade, creating a dynamic surface that tells the story of your culinary adventures.
Installation Guide
Measure your existing countertop opening carefully to ensure the 34-inch drop-in dimensions align properly before starting installation.
Apply a reliable bead of silicone sealant around the underside of the rim to secure the drop-in sink firmly against the countertop surface.
Connect your plumbing fixtures to the center-placed drain assemblies, making sure all washers and connections are hand-tightened before checking for leaks.
Rinse the copper surface thoroughly with mild soap and warm water immediately after installation to remove any residual debris or manufacturing oils.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe down the copper bowls with a soft cloth or sponge using mild dish soap and warm water after each use.
Preventing Spotting Dry the sink surface with a soft towel after washing to minimize water spots and mineral buildup.
Avoiding Harsh Chemicals Never use abrasive scouring pads, steel wool, or bleach-based cleaners that can strip the protective layers of the copper.
Managing Patina Embrace the natural color changes as part of the living finish rather than attempting to scrub away the developing patina.
Periodic Waxing Apply a thin coat of specialized copper wax every few months to protect the finish and maintain its luster.
