However, there are some things you should consider when you are in the market for a new copper sink. Let’s talk about what your options are when choosing…

Finishes

Copper can have several different finishes which can give it the look you desire. Below discover what your finish options are.

• Aged: Most often used as a bathroom sink finish, aged is easy to upkeep and ensures durability as well as a cohesive appearance of the copper. This finish sports a warm sheen that is sure to make your powder room cozy and warm.
• Antique: This finish is a bit lighter where tone is concerned. An antique copper finish requires a good amount of upkeep in comparison to the aged finish. This is the type of finish we see on kitchen sinks the most often.
• Naked: A naked finish is copper in its natural state, and is truly a non-finish. You can let it age and change colors naturally or clean it often so that it retains its original look.

Mounting Styles

There are a number of mounting/installation styles that you can choose from when it comes to the copper sink you are planning on installing. Find out which way will be right for you below!

• Drop-in: Also known as an “overmount” or “self-rimmed” sink, drop-ins are perfect for bathrooms and kitchens. This mounting style is also fairly simple as the sink just has to be dropped into a pre-cut hole. If you are installing your new copper sink on your own, this is most likely going to be the easiest mounting style for you to use.
• Undermount: This type of mounting style requires that the sink be installed from beneath the counter. Available for kitchen and bathroom sinks, the undermount is easy to keep clean and also allows for more counter space.
• Vessel: This type of bathroom sink has gained much popularity in recent decades. A bowl-like sink sits on the countertop and is normally the focal point of a restroom. Mounting hardware is normally included when you purchase one of these unique sinks!
• Apron Front: The classic farmhouse sink and mounting style eliminates the counter space that would normally be found between you and the sink. It can be installed by either dropping it in or undermounting it.
