Understanding the Living Copper Finish
Copper is classified as a living finish, which means it reacts dynamically to its environment, including water exposure, oils, and air. Think of it like a fine leather item or aged hardwood that develops a rich, personalized patina over time rather than staying permanently static. This natural oxidation process is entirely normal and adds depth and historic character to the metal. Regular rinsing and drying after use will help control how the patina evolves, ensuring your copper tub remains a beautiful, dynamic feature in your home for decades.
Installation Guide
Ensure the subfloor is structurally reinforced to support the filled weight of 671 lbs before positioning the tub.
Coordinate with a licensed plumber to align the center waste and 1 1/2 inch drain connection accurately.
Select a freestanding floor-mounted or bathroom wall-mounted faucet since this model features zero pre-drilled faucet holes.
Wipe down the copper surface with a soft cloth after each use to prevent standing water spots and preserve the hand-polished luster.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Cleaning Wash the interior and exterior gently using mild soap, warm water, and a soft microfiber cloth.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or acidic solutions like bleach or ammonia that can strip the copper finish.
Dry After Use Pat the tub dry with a clean towel after every bath to minimize water spotting and mineral accumulation.
Protect the Patina Allow the copper to age naturally, applying a quality copper wax periodically if you prefer to slow down the patina development.
Prevent Scratches Exercise caution when placing metal bath accessories or bath trays inside the tub to avoid scratching the hand-hammered surface.
