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.

TYPES OF INSTALLATIONS


Top-Mount (Drop-In):
  • The sink is placed into a cut-out in the countertop, with the edges sitting on top.
  • Easier to install, but may not offer the sleek, modern look of an undermount.
Undermount:
  • Installed beneath the countertop, creating a seamless look and easier cleanup.
  • Ideal for stone or granite countertops.
Farmhouse (Apron Front):
  • A deep, front-facing bowl that extends beyond the edge of the counter.
  • Perfect for a rustic or traditional kitchen aesthetic, offering ample space for large pots and pans.
Flush-Mount:
  • A modern style where the sink’s edges are level with the countertop for a clean, contemporary look.

DESIGN AND AESTHETIC FINISHES


Texture Finish:
  • Traditional, rustic look that highlights the craftsmanship of the sink.
  • Creates a textured surface, which can help to mask minor scratches or dents over time.
Mirror Finish:
  • A sleek, reflective surface that looks modern and sophisticated.
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain its shine and prevent tarnishing.
Antique Finish:
  • The natural oxidation process that develops over time, resulting in a warm, greenish or brownish hue.
  • Many customers prefer this as it gives the sink a vintage look and unique character.
Brush or Satin Finish:
  • More subtle, matte appearance that’s easier to maintain.
  • Offers a soft sheen without the high gloss of polished finishes.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE


Cleaning:
  • Copper and brass sinks should be cleaned regularly with a soft cloth and mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals.
  • Polishing: Regular polishing helps maintain the shine of copper and brass, especially for polished finishes.
  • Use a metal polish specifically designed for these materials to preserve their appearance and prevent tarnishing.
Patina Maintenance:
  • If you prefer a patina look, avoid polishing it away. Let the sink develop naturally over time, which can give the sink character and a vintage look.
  • Avoiding Damage: To prevent scratches and dents, avoid using abrasive cleaners or heavy pots and pans directly in the sink.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS


Sustainable and Recyclable:
  • Both copper and brass are highly recyclable, making these sinks an eco-friendly option for environmentally conscious consumers.
  • Long Lifespan: With proper care, copper and brass sinks can last a lifetime, reducing the need for frequent replacements and contributing to sustainability.
