Understanding the Living Antique Copper Finish
Copper is renowned as a living finish, meaning it interacts with its environment, water, and daily use to continuously develop a rich, evolving patina over time. Think of it like aged leather or fine wood that deepens in character rather than wearing out. The authentic French hot process used to create the initial antique copper look gives the metal a head start on this natural maturation. As you use your sink for washing dishes and food prep, areas subject to frequent contact may subtly brighten while protected zones darken, resulting in a personalized finish that tells the story of your home.
Installation Guide
Verify that your existing or new kitchen cabinetry is sized for a 36 inch base cabinet before beginning installation.
Ensure adequate structural support is built into the cabinet framing to safely bear the weight of the solid copper sink.
Professional installation is recommended for farmhouse apron sinks to achieve a precise fit and seamless countertop alignment.
Keep in mind that drains are sold separately, so make sure to source a compatible 3.5 inch kitchen drain assembly prior to setup.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wash the sink after each use with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth or sponge.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or bleach-based products, as they can damage the copper surface.
Patina Preservation Allow the natural patina to evolve organically by avoiding acidic substances sitting on the metal for extended periods.
Dry After Use Towel dry the sink periodically after heavy use to prevent hard water spot accumulation.
Protective Grids Consider using a bottom grid to protect the hammered floor from scratches caused by heavy cookware.
