Copper Sinks Direct From The Factory

Copper sinks seem like an edgy, modern twist for your bathroom, but copper is actually our oldest metal. For more than 10,000 years we’ve been utilizing copper, so bringing it into our bathrooms for use as a sink is not really such a stretch. In fact, we use copper all over the house! Let’s not downplay the charm factor of copper. After all, when you see cooking shows or walk through a high end restaurant, ever notice those copper pots hanging about? It’s a sign of quality, excellence, and class.

In the past you could almost be certain that upon entering any bathroom you would be greeted by a boring, plain, under mounted white porcelain sink. The choices today are virtually limitless and one of the most popular sink material choices for a country or European inspired bathroom is a copper sink.

Copper sinks are primarily made in small shops, typically in Mexico, who utilized the techniques for copper sink construction from centuries ago. Yes, that’s right. The copper kitchen sink is made the same way it has been for hundreds of years. You may also see hand hammered copper sinks, which should mean the sink was made in Mexico, where they hammer sheets of copper into the shape they want before finishing the sink by hand.

The Copper Sinks Store carries one of the largest stocked collections of copper sinks for the kitchen and bathroom in North America. We work directly with a factory in Mexico as well as third party US based vendors to offer authentic Mexican copper sinks. The direct from the factory approach allows us to offer affordably priced but premium quality sinks and also allows you to choose the final design and finished color of your copper sink. We literally have thousands of combinations, whether you are looking for a bathroom copper sink, a copper kitchen sink, a copper farmhouse sink or something completely custom, we can provide it to you.

Copper sinks are not only visually pleasing, but they are also easy to care for. They have warmth to them that will thaw out any modern, industrial look. As copper farmhouse sinks age, they get more beautiful. Copper sinks will take on a deeper patina as you own them. On top of all of that, copper sinks are naturally antibacterial, so you know your kitchen or bathroom will be that much safer from germs and bacteria. We are often asked if copper sinks will turn green, as many people see the green copper tiled rooftops of Europe. The answer is no, copper left outside exposed to the elements for many years will turn green, but a copper sink in a bathroom or kitchen simply doesn’t have the right environmental factors to turn that green color. It is true that the sink will develop a patina, but this usually entails a darkening of certain parts of the sink. We also recommend that if you want to keep your copper sink from developing a patina, that you use a natural food grade wax, like carnauba wax (used to coat jellybeans, apples, as well as cars!) to seal the copper sink every 2 or 3 months. This keeps the air and water from making contact with the copper, and thus preventing it from developing the patina.

We invite you to browse through our collection of copper sinks, we are confident that we can offer a top quality copper bathroom or kitchen product at an affordable price that will easily make you new kitchen or bathroom your favourite room in the house.
