Copper Sinks

At Sinks Gallery, we only work with true custom copper sink artisans that use time-tested techniques for creating quality, long-lasting products.  We have seen mass-produced copper sinks stamped out on an assembly line and have never been happy with the workmanship or quality.  Now it is possible to have a custom copper sink in your custom kitchen or bath!  Each sink is carefully handcrafted and made to order – this means you get a sink the way you want it.

Do quality handcrafted copper sinks cost more?

The answer is a resounding “No.”  The fact is that you will not save a lot of money by buying a mass produced production copper sink when considering craftsmanship and longevity.  If you want a quality sink made to your specifications that will age gracefully – buy custom!  If you are the type that wants quality in your cabinets, your hard surfaces and every other aspect of your décor, don’t overlook a quality sink.

When considering copper sinks, be careful!  There are different weights with copper just as there are with stainless steel.  Are you looking at a 24 ounce copper sink?  A 32 ounce?  Most of our sinks are 48 ounce copper which is the weight of a 12” square (16 gauge).  We also offer 64 ounce and even 72 ounce on some of our copper sinks.  If you are comparing apples to apples, you won’t pay more and you will get exactly what you want!  Sinks Gallery has carefully selected the artisans we work with and will make sure that you get a quality product that will last and has a solid warranty.

How Do They Age?
Another common question is how a copper sink will age.  Will it turn green?  Is it difficult to maintain?  The answer to both of these questions is “No.”  If you want your sink to maintain its shiny finish like a new shiny penny, well, that is a different story.  If you want your sink to age naturally to a beautiful variety of darker copper colors, you are in for a treat.  Will your sink turn green?  In our experience – very unlikely.   Copper sinks patina with age.  They generally require the same maintenance as a porcelain sink – soap and water rinsing from time to time.  And if you are concerned about water spots, there are several ways to avoid this including the finish you choose.  Hand-hammered sinks, a rubbed bronze finish or copper/stainless steel hybrid sinks are a few of the options if you are concerned about this.
