Sinks and Basins questions
Is a copper sink hygienic?
Bare copper kills many common bacteria on its surface within a few hours, which is part of why it has been used for sinks for centuries. A lacquered or sealed sink loses most of that effect, because the coating sits between the metal and whatever lands on it. Either way, clean it like any other sink.
Can a copper sink go under a stone countertop?
Yes, as an undermount, but it needs a flat rim and proper support brackets, and the stone should be templated from the actual sink rather than a drawing. Handmade sinks vary slightly, so the cutout has to follow the one you own.
How long does a handmade sink take to arrive?
It depends on the workshop. Most make each sink to order, which takes days or weeks before it ships, and international delivery adds more. Each store page on this site says what that workshop quotes.
Start with where the sink is going
The room decides the kind of sink before the finish does. A kitchen with a run of base cabinets suits an apron front, see copper farmhouse sinks. A bathroom vanity takes either a bowl that sits on the counter, see copper vessel sinks, or a basin set down into it. A small powder room with no cabinet at all is what a brass pedestal sink is for.
Copper or brass
Copper is the softer and warmer of the two, and it is the metal most handmade sinks are raised from, because it can be worked by hand into a deep bowl. Brass is harder and more yellow, and you will see it more often in basins, rims and pedestals than in large kitchen sinks. Copper goes brown and eventually near black. Brass goes amber and then bronze.
Bare copper and brass also kill many common bacteria on their surface within a few hours. That is one reason copper was used for sinks long before it was a look.
Thickness and how it was made
Ask for the gauge, and remember the number runs backwards: the lower it is, the thicker the metal. Then ask whether the bowl was hammered by hand or pressed by a machine, which changes both the price and how the surface wears. Hammered copper sinks explains how to tell the two apart.
The finish is meant to change
Almost every sink here is unlacquered, so the metal reacts to water and hands from the first week. Warm water, mild soap and a soft cloth are all it needs. Keep lemon, vinegar and bathroom cleaners off it, because acid strips the colour back to bright metal in patches. Unlacquered brass basins covers what the change looks like over a year.
Who makes them
Among the workshops we list, Zayian has the widest range of sinks and CopperKesh makes farmhouse and wall mounted basins. Most sinks are made to order, so allow for the making time as well as the shipping.
