If you seek an antiquated look for your kitchen, consider copper.
As one of the earth's most malleable metals, we've been using
copper for millennia, for a variety of applications. As flexible
as this metal is, so are the types of styles you can get this
magnificent material in. Whether it's a naturally weathered or
distressed look you seek, or a hand-beaten look, copper can
significantly transform the look of your kitchen sink and, in the
process, add substance to your intended kitchen theme.
Copper cannot compete with the affordability and practicality of stainless steel, but it more than makes up for this in its ability to add character and authenticity to your kitchen palette. While stainless steel has a sleek look, it doesn't possess the handcrafted effect of copper. With a copper sink, you truly feel as though your product is unique, not factory made. Depending on the manufacturer, it may actually be.
Consider This
One of the benefits of copper is its malleability, which can also be one of its negatives.
Copper can dent if proper care and maintenance is not taken.
Thicker models are stronger and more dent-resistant.
Shop around as prices for copper sinks vary greatly.
Confirm with the vendor that your copper sink is 100% copper as there are many imitation products on the market that contain non-copper materials.
