Understanding the Pewter Finish on Copper
The Barclay 6516 features an 18-gauge copper body treated with a specialized pewter finish. While raw copper is known as a living finish that darkens and changes color over time when exposed to air and moisture, this particular pewter coating is formulated to remain stable. Think of it like a protective outer layer on metal hardware that locks in a uniform silver-gray color, ensuring your sink maintains its distinct pewter appearance under normal household circumstances without developing a traditional patina.
Installation Guide
Inspect the sink dimensions and inner bowl measurements carefully before cutting your countertop template to ensure a proper fit for this 18-inch square model.
Verify that your chosen countertop cutout accommodates the 18 x 18 inch outer dimensions and center drain placement.
Apply a compatible sealant around the rim during drop-in or undermount installation to secure the copper basin against moisture seepage.
Clean the pewter finished surface regularly using a soft cloth and mild dish soap to preserve the coating, avoiding abrasive scrubbers.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe the pewter finish down with a soft microfiber cloth, warm water, and mild dish soap after each use.
Avoid Abrasives Never use steel wool, scouring pads, or harsh chemical bleach cleaners that could scratch or damage the pewter coating.
Dry After Use Towel dry the sink basin periodically to prevent water spots and mineral buildup from forming on the surface.
Protect the Finish Avoid leaving acidic foods or chemical substances sitting on the copper surface for extended periods.
Gentle Care Treat the handmade hammered texture gently to maintain its clean appearance for years to come.
