MATERIAL COMPOSITION AND
CHARACTERISTICS
Copper
Composition:
- Typically 99% pure copper.
- Naturally antimicrobial, which helps prevent bacteria buildup.
- Highly resistant to stains and corrosion, ideal for high-moisture areas like
kitchens.
- Soft and malleable material, allowing for a variety of designs, including
hammered or smooth
finishes.
Brass
Composition:
- An alloy of copper and zinc, offering increased strength compared to pure
copper.
- The zinc content can influence the color of the brass, from a golden yellow to a
darker, more
reddish hue.
- More durable and less prone to scratching compared to pure copper, making it
great for heavy-use
areas.
