Understanding the Living Finish of Copper
Copper is known as a living material because its surface continuously interacts with its environment, much like a fine piece of leather or natural wood. Over time, exposure to water, air, and daily use causes the patina to evolve, gradually developing richer and darker tones unique to your household habits. This dynamic aging process is not a defect, but rather a natural characteristic that enhances the individuality and organic charm of your sink.
Installation Guide
Wait until you receive the actual physical sink before making any countertop cutout or plumbing alignment adjustments, as handcrafted dimensions can vary slightly.
Position the vessel above the counter using the 1.5-inch drain opening as your primary anchor point for the included strainer assembly.
Secure the solid brass strainer drain using the provided rubber seals and plastic spacer to ensure a watertight seal without over-tightening.
Apply a mild silicone sealant around the base ring if required by your countertop material to keep the basin stable during daily use.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning: Wipe the copper basin gently using plain soap and warm water after use.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use abrasive scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemical bleach cleaners that can strip the natural patina.
Prevent Standing Water: Dry the bowl with a soft cloth occasionally to prevent mineral deposits from forming in hard water areas.
Embrace the Patina: Allow the natural finish to age gracefully without trying to scrub away the evolving dark tones.
Protect the Surface: Avoid leaving acidic foods or harsh cosmetics sitting directly on the copper surface for extended periods.
