MATERIAL DESCRIPTION AND CARE
Copper sinks are specially designed for both durability and
beauty. Created with a single sheet of heavy gauge copper,
our copper farmhouse sinks have no internal welds,
strengthening the sink's structure and preventing leakage.
The apron front is welded with solid copper by skilled artisans ,
ensuring both aesthetic appeal and quality.
Copper sinks will patina with time and normal use creating a
much sought-after living finish. Because of copper's natural
composition, cleaning is easy. Simply rinse after each use to
rid the surface of any soap or dirt and wipe dry. Apply wax,
such as Table Top Wax, at least once every 15-20 days to
keep your copper sink in its original condition and prevent the
natural aging process. For a more thorough cleaning, wash
occasionally with dish soap and a sponge.
Do not use copper or silver cleaners, or any abrasive or harsh
chemicals on your copper sink. Avoid contact with hot pots
or pans, as this may cause distortion due to coppers low
melting temperature .
