Is Copper safe?

• A recent British study found that Copper and Brass were Bactericidal when used as food prep surfaces .
• It is a safe material to use but we recommend a chopping block for cutting and food prep.

Does Copper scratch?

• Yes, that's part of the country charm. Copper is a soft metal.
• The long term look is distinctly " Country" in nature as these Counters and Sinks will acquire a living finish that changes with time.

Do copper counters tarnish?

• Yes ,in fact we try to accelerate the look by giving them a Patina.
• Copper Counters come with or without a Patinated Finish.
• The process may be partially controlled by waxing with Butchers or Beeswax
• These products may be re-polished for a bright appearance. Re-sanding on site to remove signs of wear and scratches is also a fairly simple process.
• New matte finished copper will start to darken and, over a period of months, will acquire a unique patina.

Do you "glue up" sheets of copper like Formica type products?

• No. We weld, grind, and polish ,just like the authentic, traditional methods of yore. You will see the difference.

How about undermount sinks?

• No problem, however we can make Copper sinks and weld them into the top so they become integral.
• All Sinks and Counters are actually welded using Copper filler rods, ground and polished for an integral seamless look.
• The thickness of our copper sheets is 1/16" heavy duty material.

Are splash panels just flat sheets of copper?

• They come bonded to a 1/4" backer with finished returned edges.
• The thickness of the backer is variable and may be customized.
• Quilted Splashes are a great addition behind a cook top or above a wood or marble countertop.

Do you make Hoods and other specialties in copper?

• Yes , Custom Hoods and Wall panels are available as well.
