InterestsHow does Gauge work?
The gauge of a Mexican copper sink is pretty standard to the region, at least for all copper coming out of Santa Clara. The standard for small bath and bar sinks is 18 gauge, while larger bar and kitchen sinks are 16 gauge and finally, tubs at 14 gauge. Our farmhouse sinks are the exception as their aprons are 14 gauge with a rolled over bottom edge to give added support. All farmhouse sinks also have structure tabs welled at the middle and the corners to give that apron added stability. I’d question anyone stating anything different on the gauge.
Business InformationHistory/background
Our sinks are not sealed, to seal it would negate the positive attribute of coppers antimicrobial qualities. Antibacterial cleaning products are Everywhere! From dish soap to surface cleansers, we are able to eradicate potentially growing bacteria and germs from our surfaces. In our hectic lives, wouldn’t it be great if some surfaces could be germ resistant without the extra cleanser?
Fortunately, copper possesses antimicrobial properties that essentially make it a germ killer. Amazingly, copper surfaces kill 99.9% of bacteria within 2 hours. Bacteria such as E. Coli and Staphylococcus aureus are eliminated on a non-coated copper surface. Over 300 copper alloys have been registered with the US EPA as materials that kill these bacteria. Sound unbelievable?

With regular cleaning, copper surfaces maintain these germ fighting properties over time.

Other things to know about copper
Copper is also malleable. Materials that are malleable can be hammered or stretched or rolled into various shapes with relative ease, while still maintaining their strength. Some metals, like copper, are also ductile, which means they are flexible. Should your sink arrive with a bent edge, it can be hammered back into position with little effort. Use a wooden or rubber mallet to straighten any edges that may have been altered in shipping.
Dimensions and patinas may vary slightly due to the handmade quality of our products. All sinks are shipped pre-waxed.
