For an exceptional bathing experience, copper offers a stunning and unique beauty that can enhance the aesthetic of any home’s bathroom. Esteemed for its unique qualities, copper has been sought after for many uses in home and industrial design. Known as a “living finish”, gorgeous natural copper tubs will bring an ambience of warmth to your custom bathroom. 

Softer than steel and other materials commonly used to create tubs, copper can be adapted for the specific dimensions of your available space. Among the many copper tub benefits include its inimitable look and feel, its “personality” if you will. This extremely adaptable natural metal contains antimicrobial properties, making it a great choice for tubs, sinks, spas, and other water features. Copper product manufacturers who claim their products are antimicrobial must validate their claims and register with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which regulates the standards for these product claims.

This site provides information about the science behind antimicrobial copper, and where to find products that use it.

 

With continued use, your copper tub will change in appearance as its own unique color, known as a patina, develops. This patina, which is part of the natural aging process, helps to protect your copper tub from corrosion, and results in a stunning blend of light and dark tones that is different for every tub. Natural patinas are part of what give copper its unique charm, and another copper tub benefit that attract people to use this malleable metal in their home design.

Both aesthetically beautiful and practical, antimicrobial copper can assist you in creating a safe and healthy environment. Think of it as an added layer of protection in the bath for your family. Bacteria cannot survive on a copper surface, and cleaning your copper tub is easy, due to the natural composition of the metal. Simply rinse off any soapy residue from the surface of your copper tub with clean water after each use, and dry it with a soft cloth to minimize any water spots. Occasionally wash out your copper tub with a mild detergent such as dish soap, using a soft sponge or clean rag. Once you start to see the copper tub benefits in your home, you’ll want to incorporate copper throughout the rest of your home as well.
