The age - old tradition of hammering copper not only strengthens the copper sheets but also adds aesthetic value. A ball peen hammer is used to shape the indentations before forming the sink. Over time, pure copper will naturally develop a patina, a green or brown film. But the hammered surface makes the patina less noticeable. This bar sink features a 14 - gauge thickness, is made of 99.8% copper, and has standard - radius corners. It's a single - bowl, undermount sink with the dimensions of 18 × 16 × 10 inches and fits a 24 - inch cabinet. It comes with extra - large sound cancellation pads and thermal undercoating, and is cUPC certified with a lifetime limited warranty.
Using your Dakota Signature handmade copper bar sink is easy. Just place it under your 24 - inch cabinet as it's an undermount sink. You can use it to wash glasses, small utensils, or anything else you need at the bar. When it comes to maintenance, avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the copper surface. Instead, use a mild soap and warm water to clean it. Dry the sink thoroughly after each use to prevent water spots. Over time, the copper may develop a patina, which is normal and actually adds character to the sink. If you don't like the look of the patina, you can use a copper cleaner to remove it, but be gentle. And remember, your sink has a lifetime limited warranty, so if you run into any issues, you're covered.
