Understanding Living Copper Finishes
Copper is known as a living finish because it reacts naturally to air, water, and handling over time, much like a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. The weathered antique copper look applied via an authentic French hot process is not a static paint or coating, but a stable chemical base that continues to evolve. As you use your sink daily, areas exposed to water and utensils may brighten or darken, creating a rich multi-tonal patina that reflects your home's unique story.
Installation Guide
Consult a professional cabinet maker to ensure your farmhouse sink base cabinet is properly measured and custom-fitted before installation.
Verify that your supporting structure inside the cabinet can adequately hold the weight of a solid 16 gauge copper basin.
Pair your installation with a compatible 3.5-inch drain assembly, keeping in mind that drains are sold separately.
Apply a quality copper wax periodically after cleaning to protect the finish and assist water runoff.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning: Wash the sink bowl regularly with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth or sponge.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use abrasive scouring pads, steel wool, or bleach-based cleaners that can strip the copper patina.
Rinse After Use: Rinse the single bowl thoroughly after washing acidic foods like citrus or tomatoes to protect the finish.
Prevent Standing Water: Wipe the sink dry with a soft towel occasionally to minimize hard water spot accumulation.
Wax Protection: Apply a non-abrasive copper wax every few months to maintain its luster and encourage smooth patina development.
