We absolutely can’t get enough of kitchens and eating areas with wood-effect designs – particularly when accented with copper! If you have a more country style kitchen, on the other hand, you might want to choose a worktop with satin or lustre finish – like concrete or granite effect – to keep the space bright and fresh. There’s something to be said for the way these two natural materials complement each other – the wood with its rough matt texture and the copper for its smooth shiny appearance – creating a perfect balance. This was made in three pieces, each being bespoke, left side has an integrated solid brass sink welded in, the rear piece scribed to fit the feature stone wall and the left hand piece fabricated to fit a deep alcove. If your project requires multiple copper sheets , we will age them together to create the closest possible match between them. A slight variation may be visible but we will do our best to minimise it. INSTALLING BESPOKE COPPER WORKTOPS

Always place hot objects onto a board or trivet to protect the work surface. Grade C106 H/H 1.2mm Copper mounted on moisture resistant MDF core with the front and two ends folded down and under to form a safety edge, corners are welded and finished. That lacquer protects the worktop but also stops the ageing process. Keeping the lacquer in good condition is paramount. Therefore, we recommend only using warm soapy water and a soft cloth to clean it. Although the sheets come directly from the mill, copper by its very nature is a relatively soft material and may have some minor marks, scratches and dents in it from new. Where a welding process has taken place, there could be some minor pitting. This is quite normal and a natural by-product of the welding process and will blend in over time.
