Your hood or sink comes with a protective clear coat and does not require any heavy maintenance. Simple dusting or cleaning with warm water and a soft rag is all that is necessary. Do not place anything hot on your copper sink! It may damage the protective clear coat.

We use only pure copper sheets to fabricate our hoods & sinks. We keep the art of coppersmithing simple and true. 

We use 14 gauge copper for all of our kitchen sinks and 16 gauge copper for our hoods and bar sinks. Not that the lower the gauge, the thicker the sheet of copper. Stainless steel sinks typically come in 18-20 gauge.

No, our copper hoods will not oxidize. All our copper hoods have a clear coat baked onto the hood or sink to preserve the color. Sink basins however will oxidize and patina overtime, and therefore cannot be textured.

We offer Universal Metal Industry vent systems for purchase with your hood (in-hood, in-attic, and no-motor options). We can also build a hood around any specified ventilation system. We custom fit our hoods to prevent any gaps between the hood and the vent. Just call us with the dimensions and we'll get started.

The motor fan sits inside your copper hood and the liner insert sits flush or recessed in the bottom of the hood. 

This system requires an accessible attic space. The blower is mounted in an attic and wired to the liner. This option is quieter as the blower is further away from your ear than the in-hood blower. The insert also sits flush with the hood.

This system is used with a separate external blower system outside your building. This is the quietest option of any vent system since the blower is entirely outside of the building.

Standing seams are very thin strips of copper that are spot welded to your hood vertically.

Straps are typically 1" wide and lay flat along the body of your hood. They can be matched to the color of your copper hood, or they can be a shade darker for more contrast.

Our rivets are 0.5" in diameter and are typically added to the straps for a more "old world" aesthetic. We also offer 2" diameter rivets that many customers have added to the aprons of their copper hoods.

All of our dimensions are taken from outside edge to outside edge. Our copper kitchen sinks 33" and above are made with 2" rims. Sinks less than 33" have 1" rims. If the sink is a double bowl then the middle divider is 1". All of our prep, bar, trough, and bath sink have 1" rims.

We recommend using oil-rubbed bronze faucets with our medium and dark finishes.
