Copper is a non-ferrous metal.  Unlike stainless steel, copper will oxidize and patina, moving from a lustrous orange-gold, to a deep brown over time.  As a consequence, it exhibits great depth and luster.  It has been used for hundreds of years in Europe as a material to clad table tops and similar items. The copper that we utilize begins as a sheet product and is formed and pressed onto a substrate to achieve workable countertop surfaces.  Our manufacturing process is proprietary, utilizing state of the art manufacturing technologies along with quality hand craftsmanship to yield a uniquely beautiful end product.
