Understanding Copper Living Finishes
Copper is a reactive metal known for its living finish, meaning it interacts with water, air, and oils from daily use to continually develop a unique patina over time. Think of it like aged leather or fine hardwood, where touch and time enhance its character rather than diminishing it. The hand polished exterior and interior will gently shift in tone and luster with every bath, ensuring your copper bathtub is an evolving, organic piece of functional art in your home.
Installation Guide
Ensure the subfloor is structurally rated to support the filled weight of 696 pounds before placing the bathtub.
Position the tub using the included base on a level surface, aligning the 1 1/2 inch center drain with your rough-in plumbing.
Connect the waste and overflow assembly carefully, verifying all gaskets are secure to prevent leaks.
Pair the tub with a freestanding or wall-mounted filler, as the rim features zero pre-drilled faucet holes.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Cleaning Wash the copper surface regularly with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth to remove residue.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or bleach, as these can strip the protective finish and damage the metal.
Dry After Use Wipe down the interior and exterior with a soft towel after each bath to minimize water spotting.
Protect the Patina Allow the copper to age naturally, or apply a gentle copper wax periodically if you wish to preserve the current shine.
Inspect Drains Check the center drain and overflow connections periodically to ensure proper drainage without pooling.
