COPPER
PATINA: Dark brown to green to blue. All copper products will patina. Patina is a natural process of oxidation where copper reacts to the elements and produces a series of colors that build up in order to protect the copper. The final color can vary widely depending on location, environment and other factors.
WHAT COLOR WILL MY PRODUCT BE?
All products ship in their natural copper state. Depending on where they are
stored or transported, patina may begin to develop. It is very likely the
color may change between manufacture and delivery and will continue to patina
after installation.
Copper can be cleaned after installation to reset the patina process.
CLEANING
- Patina color may vary from piece to piece, even when delivered on the same day. If you prefer to restore the material after installation, a cleaning solution such as TarnX® may be used.
- Hand Prints/Water Spots: Products develop hand prints from handling or water stains from water testing. The natural patina process will cover up the markings as the whole piece begins to darken.
STAINLESS STEEL
PATINA
Stainless steel does not develop a patina.
CLEANING
- Stainless steel is steel that is “stain-less” however, this DOES NOT MEAN THAT STAINLESS STEEL WILL NEVER RUST OR CORRODE. Stainless steel can show water spots and deposits of minerals or other natural substances that appear, orange, white and/or brown. We suggest regular cleaning, at least once a month.
- Use distilled, soft or purified water (preferably warm) while cleaning and as a last rinse. Dry with a soft cloth.
- General maintenance and/or light buildup can be done with a soft cloth. Windex works well if you want to remove water spots. Otherwise a mild soap or vinegar (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) will remove light buildup.
- Try to go in the direction of the natural polishing grains
- Heavier build-up can be cleaned using very fine red Scotch-Brite™ cleaning pads.
- In many cases, cleaning over time will greatly reduce reappearance of build-up.
SALTWATER
Stainless steel is not warranted for use in or around salt water. Our products are made of 316 marine grade Stainless Steel. . Stainless steel can get water spots and stainless steel can get deposits of minerals or other natural substances that appeared, white and/or brown. If this happens you’ll need to clean the areas each time the build up occurs and after 3 6 cleanings the problem areas should be free of any build up returning.
