Understanding the Living Copper Finish
Copper is known as a living finish because it interacts naturally with water, air, and everyday use, continually evolving over time. Think of it like fine leather or untreated hardwood that develops a richer, deeper character the more it is used. The hand-hammered antique surface will gradually shift in tone, creating a uniquely personal patina that reflects your home and lifestyle rather than staying frozen in a factory-new state.

Ensure your subfloor is properly reinforced to support the filled weight of 1445 pounds before placement.
Coordinate with your plumber to position the center floor drain accurately relative to the freestanding tub footprint.

Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe the interior and exterior surfaces with a soft damp cloth after each bath to remove soap residue.
Mild Soap Use only mild dish soap and warm water when cleaning; avoid harsh chemical detergents or abrasive scrubbers.
Patina Preservation Allow the natural patina to develop over time without using chemical agents designed to strip or alter the finish.
Water Spots Dry the tub thoroughly with a soft towel periodically to minimize hard water spotting on the polished copper.
