Move over stainless steel and ****celain - copper is back and it=92s
taking the kitchen & bath world by storm!
=93Old World=94 materials have been gaining momentum for some time now.
The use of natural stone, wood and copper is replacing the =93sterile=94
look of stainless steel and ****celain =96 the standard in plumbing
showrooms for years.
What does copper have that stainless steel doesn=92t? One reason is its
=93living finish=94 that can be purchased in many different patinas. The
darker patinas are a perfect compliment to oil rubbed bronze hardware
and the natural stones such as granite that are becoming standard in
today=92s designs.
Another appeal of copper is its =93living finish=94 that evolves and
changes. This quality exudes a =93lived in=94 look that seems to be a part
of the current design trend. A living finish is simply an oxidation
process that darkens the metal over time much like the way a penny
evolves as it gets older.
In fact, most copper sinks sold today already have a =93weathered
copper=94 or darker finish due to the maintenance required to keep a
copper ****ny. These darker finishes require very little maintenance =96
just mild soap and water.
As a 20 year veteran of the plumbing industry, I have seen a lot of
trends. Today, homeowners seem drawn to unique products in their
kitchen and bath. This trend also includes an increase in the
popularity of natural stone and even wood sinks. Homeowners are using
the sink is a focal point in their design project and they don=92t want
to see the same sink in their neighbors house.
Besides being functional works of art in their own right, copper has
some very practical qualities. Most copper sinks sold today are =93hand
hammered=94. This technique in combination with the natural living
finish quickly hides any scratches or dents that might occur with
regular use. Copper is a naturally hygienic metal and germs such as E-
coli cannot survive longer than a few hours on it=92s surface.
The rise in sales of copper sinks has helped bring the costs down. It
has also created a vast array of choices which is welcomed by the
homeowners looking to install a unique design that reflects their own
personal sense of d=E9cor.
