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.
Copper is a lovely metal with a character few other materials can match. It’s also a soft metal and prone to staining and damage. That’s why we protect all copper worktops with a tough lacquer. Pictured above is our Bristol display kitchen with its copper worktops, which is in constant use. As you can see, our monthly team lunches have left their mark. We love having a little bit of history in our team kitchen, but it’s worth considering whether this would look good in your home. Copper is a sensitive materialThat 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. As a natural and living material, copper often changes colour as it ages from wear and tear. This is true of most metals, although stainless steel is a notable exception. It’s good to know that the use of acidic liquids, such as lemon juice or vinegar, may cause stains on the surface. So keep this in mind if you are considering installing copper worktops in your kitchen. One of the many benefits of having copper worktops in your kitchen is that copper is one of the most eco-friendly metal worktops you could choose for your kitchen. It’s a sustainable material and if it ever needs to be replaced due to changing tastes, it’s completely recyclable. What are the cons of having a copper worktop in my kitchen? Copper accents has been an especially popular recent trend for those looking to update their kitchens. This is because copper pairs nicely with a range of styles from traditional to modern and industrial to minimalist.
Since copper is so versatile, it’s easy to see why it’s so popular — but, you might be wondering — what worktops go best in kitchens with copper accents? Slate or Grey We find slate texture or, more widely, grey coloured worktops are popular choices when people are looking to complement copper accents in the kitchen.Copper sheets will need cutting and shaping to fit the installation and can then be fixed into place using adhesive or fixings. 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
Items should only be fitted in areas that experience normal household ranges of temperature and humidity. 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. Marble is also a great choice if you have coloured cabinets like blue or green with copper accents and you’re looking for a worktop that will match but not overpower other elements of your kitchen. Our selection of marble-effect laminate worktops can give you the look and feel of the real thing at a fraction of the cost. The Blue and Green patinas are always lacquered to seal the finish. They are not particularly suitable as a work surface, they are usually applied to door, drawers and panels. We have an inhouse paint spray shop for lacquering. Process The timber carcass then passes to the metal working shop for cladding in copper or brass, again we have computerised machinery to ensure accuracy. Corners and radiuses are TIG welded.
Why choose a metal worktop?
All Prices are inclusive of VAT and UK Mainland Delivery (excluding the highlands and Islands. POA.) Please note: this item should not be fitted directly behind a hob without additional protection. Please refer to the hob manufacturer's guidelines to ensure that your installation complies with safety standards.
As you might expect, putting hot pans down on copper worktops or brass worktops is a surefire way to make the metal expand and warp. Sealant helps to keep a uniform look and prevent staining. However, this does neutralise the antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, which make it a little less hygienic. Be careful with heat!
No job too small
Never place hot pans that have come off the hob/stove directly onto the worktop as this has the potential of breaking the bond between the worktop and the substrate. Always place hot objects onto a board or trivet to protect the work surface. For an even more premium alternative, browse our slim solid laminate worktop rangewhich features a variety of surface decors combined with an ultra-slim edge profile and solid core construction. Copper worktop production begins with timber panels, these would normally be either MRMDF or high quality birch ply. Our woodworking department cut to size on CNC controlled equipment for accuracy. Copper in its natural form has a dull finish and will age and change colour over time once it has been exposed to air. If the product has been welded and cleaned, this area could appear brighter and slightly different to the original copper sheet. This will also age and change colour over time along with the rest of the worktop. Few metals have the depth of colour and warmth of copper. Whether you’re looking for natural copper , aged copper, verdigris or something else, there is a finish here that’s perfect for your needs.
